Ultra High-Performance Digital Output Network Transport with Dedicated USB and OCXO-controlled S/PDIF & AES/EBU digital outputs, plus 4 TB internal storage.
Low Noise, Low Jitter, High Pleasure
A vast improvement over Aurender's original S10, N10 includes a dedicated USB Audio output as well as a unique S/PDIF & AES/EBU digital output board governed by an ultra-precise OCXO clock. With 4 or 8 TB of storage on board, this was a game-changer for serious music lovers and audiophiles. In 2021, Aurender released N10 was replaced by model N20, including myriad improvements such as a more efficient CPU, strikingly handsome front panel display, user-installable storage options, and a double-isolated LAN port.
OCXO Clock Controlled Outputs
Aurender's Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) clocks are unique in a category that has historically treated superior SPDIF and AES/EBU audio outputs as an afterthought. Unlike USB, where the DAC's clock matters most, SPDIF and AES/EBU data streams are only as good as the transport clocks that govern them.
Low Noise Power Supply
Clean power is the single most important factor in enjoying your favorite music with the highest fidelity from a digital source component. N10 features an audio-grade power supply structure designed to deliver the cleanest power and separate the sensitive audio outputs from the CPU and other noise-generating components.
4 or 8TB of Storage Built-In
Internal storage capacity of 4 or 8TB to accommodate vast music libraries.
