Aurender N200 Music Server and Streamer

The Aurender N200 represents the perfect nexus of performance and practicality, a music server engineered to be the ideal step-up into the world of high-end digital audio. It inherits the core technologies of Aurender's flagship models, including a sophisticated linear power supply, a double-isolated LAN port, and the signature caching playback system, all housed in a beautiful new full-sized chassis. With its powerful Intel quad-core processor and a high-precision TCXO clock, the N200 is designed to deliver a profoundly quiet, pure, and musically engaging signal to your DAC. It is the definitive, versatile heart for a truly state-of-the-art digital system.

Key Features

• Powerful Intel Quad-Core CPU: A robust processor ensures seamless operation, fast library management, and flawless playback of high-resolution files.
• SSD Caching Playback: A 240GB NVMe solid-state drive is used as a cache for playback, eliminating noise and latency from spinning hard drives for a silent, black background.
• Dual User-Installable Storage Bays: Two trays for 2.5" HDD or SSD drives allow you to customize the storage capacity to fit the size of your library.
• Linear Power Supply & Super Capacitor UPS: A sophisticated linear power supply provides clean, stable power, while a super capacitor-based UPS ensures safe shutdown during power outages.
• Double-Isolated LAN Port: An isolated network port provides a clean, noise-free signal path from your network to preserve the full integrity of the audio source.
• High-Precision TCXO Clock: A Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator delivers a stable, low-jitter reference for exceptional timing, rhythm, and musical flow.
• Dedicated Low-Noise USB Output: A dedicated, isolated USB Audio Class 2.0 output delivers a pristine, noise-free signal to your DAC.
• Coax SPDIF Digital Output: A basic coaxial output is also provided for connecting to legacy DACs.
• Stunning 6.9" Wide IPS Display: A beautiful, high-resolution front-panel display shows vibrant, full-color album art and track information.
• Full Format & MQA Support: Plays all major formats including DSD (up to DSD512) and offers an optional MQA Core-Decoder upgrade.

A Foundation of Silence

The N200 is engineered from the ground up to create a profoundly silent background from which music can emerge. This begins with its sophisticated linear power supply, which provides clean, stable power without the high-frequency noise associated with common switching supplies. This is further enhanced by the double-isolated LAN port, which prevents noise from your router from ever contaminating the sensitive audio circuits. The entire system is protected by a super capacitor-based UPS, ensuring perfect stability and a safe, graceful shutdown in the event of a power failure.

The Caching Advantage

At the heart of every Aurender music server is the revolutionary caching playback system. When you select a track or album for playback, the N200 automatically copies the music from your main storage drives to a silent, 240GB NVMe solid-state drive. The main storage drives are then put to sleep. This means that during your critical listening session, the music is played from a completely silent, non-moving source, eliminating the electrical and acoustic noise generated by spinning hard drives. This is the key to the Aurender's signature, pitch-black background.

Precision Timing

In digital audio, timing is everything. The N200 employs a high-precision Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) clock. This reference-grade component is far more stable and accurate than the standard clocks found in most computers and streamers. By providing an exceptionally stable, low-jitter timing reference, the TCXO clock ensures that the digital signal is delivered to your DAC with unerring accuracy. The result is a sound that is rhythmically coherent and effortlessly natural, with a focused, stable stereo image and a captivating sense of musical flow.

The Command Center

The N200 is designed to be a joy to use. The stunning, 6.9-inch full-color IPS display on the front panel provides a beautiful, at-a-glance view of your music, rendering album art in vibrant detail. All of this power is controlled by the acclaimed Aurender Conductor app for iOS and Android. Conductor is a rich, intuitive interface that makes managing a vast music library—whether from your local drives or from streaming services like TIDAL and Qobuz—an absolute pleasure. It is the perfect fusion of powerful hardware and elegant, user-friendly software.
