A100
Caching Music Server / Streamer / Player with full MQA Decoder DAC and RCA Analog Outputs
2TB Storage
A100 is a budget-friendly follow up to the popular Aurender A10. A music player with a high performance MQA enabled digital-to-analog converter, 2TB of internal hard disk drive and one 120GB solid-state drive cache for playback, the A100 is the perfect solution for those replacing CD players or seeking one-box simplicity.
FEATURES
Integrated Single Stereo Design DAC with Fully Discrete Linear Power Supply
• Single-ended/ Unbalanced (RCA) Audio Outputs
• 768KHz/32bit Next Generation Flagship AK4490 DAC Chip
• Volume adjustment from app, IR remote or front panel rotary control
FPGA-Based Precision Clock with World-Class Jitter-Reducing Generator:
Precision clock generation system incorporating Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) with sub 100fs world-class jitter-reducing clock generator precisely times digital audio data transmissions and minimizes jitter to below negligible levels.
Designed to Keep the System Noise Level as Low as Possible:
A full linear power supply along with special shielding prevents noise from being delivered to sensitive DACs for the best sound reproduction. Four individual toroidal power transformers are used for the music server, digital circuitry and dual DACs. Fully isolated asynchronous USB audio output is also designed to block spurious noise.
Aurender App Packed with Convenient Features for Full-Function Control:
The Aurender Conductor App turns the iPad into a versatile user interface for Aurender Music Server/Players. All settings and functions of the Aurender Server/Music Player can be easily accessed through the Settings menu, and the Aurender App comes with extensive features to make managing, viewing and playing high resolution music collections a breeze.
2TB Hard Disk Drive Storage with Solid-State Drive Cache for Playback:
The internal hard drive provides 2TB of storage and a 120G solid-state drive is used to cache music for playback. If a selected song or album is already cached to the solid-state drive, the hard drive will remain asleep. This minimizes wear and tear on the hard drive. By caching songs to the solid-state drive for playback, electrical and acoustic noise resulting from spinning disks, moving heads and motors are also completely eliminated.
Dedicated USB Audio Class 2.0 Output with Ultra Low-Noise Power Circuitry:
The dedicated USB Audio Class 2.0 output is designed to deliver an exceptionally transparent audio signal free of noise, and is shielded from outside electronic interference.
USB and NAS (Network-Attached Storage) Support:
Best performance occurs when music is stored on the Aurender’s internal storage. However, the Aurender platform is also capable of seamlessly integrating content stored on a NAS or external USB hard drive.
Remote Internet Technical Support:
Sending a Remote Support Request through the Aurender App allows engineers to quickly diagnose and correct problems over the Internet.
