Your Music Library, Perfected

The ACS10 is designed from the ground up to be the ultimate command center for your digital music collection. For your cherished CDs, a high-quality, drawer-loading TEAC drive provides a simple, one-touch solution to create perfect, bit-perfect rips, automatically retrieving all metadata and cover art. But its power goes much further. Using the dedicated ACS Manager app, you have complete control to organize your library, edit tags, and even find and delete duplicate files. It’s a powerful tool that allows you to consolidate music from multiple sources into one perfectly curated, easy-to-navigate library.

A Foundation of Purity

While the ACS10 is a versatile utility, it is also a true audiophile component, built to deliver a sonically superior signal. At its core is a full linear power supply, a critical element for achieving a natural, noise-free sound. This is protected by a unique super capacitor-based UPS, which provides enough power for the unit to shut down safely in the event of a power failure. When you're ready to listen, Aurender's revolutionary caching playback system copies the selected music to a silent SSD, ensuring the noisy storage drives are completely dormant during your listening session.

The Heart of a System

The ACS10 is engineered to be the powerful, central server for your entire digital ecosystem. Its primary role is to manage your library and serve music with the utmost fidelity to another Aurender player on your network. However, its own dedicated, isolated USB Audio output is so well-executed that it can also function as a superb standalone music server and streamer connected directly to your DAC. With its unique array of three LAN ports, including one that is double-isolated, it offers unparalleled flexibility for complex network setups, ensuring the audio signal path is always protected from noise.

Intuitive Control, Robust Build

The power and complexity of the ACS10 are managed through a simple and intuitive interface. The acclaimed Aurender Conductor app is your gateway to browsing and playing music from your library and your favorite streaming services. For deep library management, the dedicated ACS Manager app provides a rich, powerful toolset for editing metadata and curating your collection. All of this power is housed in a beautiful, full-width machined aluminum chassis that matches the rest of Aurender's lineup, making it the perfect, authoritative hub for your system.
