Aurender N10 Reference-Class Music Server / Streamer

Description

N10

The Aurender N10 Reference-Class Music Server / Streamer by Aurender represents a state-of-the art implementation of these protocols with its OCXO controlled SPDIF outputs – use them and discover a higher standard than USB.

When computer audio first started to gain popularity, USB was the de-facto standard for the digital audio signal transport – simply because computers have USB ports, not AES/EBU or other SPDIF ports.

Unfortunately, USB can be a flawed protocol for digital audio transmission as it is prone to noise, jitter, and compatibility issues.

Done properly, AES/EBU and SPDIF audio outputs represent a superior method of audio transmission with nearly universal compatibility, less jitter, and greater ease and flow to the overall musical presentation.

Brand

Aurender

Founded in 2011 by Harry Lee, Aurender manufactures high performance, high-fidelity music servers and audio players. Most music servers were conceived as computers with some modifications to become music servers. In this manufacturing model, customers still end up dealing with a computer and all of its inherent hassles. Aurender's philosophy is to remove the hassles that take away from the enjoyment of computer (file) music.

Aurender stands for innovation, refined user experience, and impeccable quality.
