Aurender N30SA Music Server and Streamer

In the pursuit of ultimate digital purity, the greatest enemy is noise. The Aurender N30SA is a definitive statement in the war against noise, a magnificent two-chassis reference music server engineered to be a completely silent, transparent window to the original performance. By physically separating the massive linear power supply from the sensitive server and audio electronics, the N30SA achieves a level of signal purity and background silence that is simply unattainable in a single-box design. With its state-of-the-art OCXO Rev2 clock, a full suite of isolated digital outputs, and an external master clock input, the N30SA is the ultimate digital source for the listener who demands nothing less than the absolute truth from their music.

Key Features

• Two-Chassis Reference Design: A separate, full-size chassis for the power supply completely isolates the audio circuit from all electrical and mechanical noise, creating an unprecedentedly black background.
• OCXO Rev2 Clock: A new, ultra-high-precision Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator delivers a stable, ultra-low jitter reference for unmatched timing, rhythm, and musical flow.
• External Master Clock Input: A 75Ω BNC input allows for connection to an external master clock for the absolute pinnacle of system synergy and timing accuracy.
• Double-Isolated LAN Port: Provides a clean, noise-free signal path from your network to preserve the full integrity of the audio source.
• SSD Caching Playback: A 480GB NVMe solid-state drive is used as a cache for playback, eliminating noise and latency from spinning hard drives.
• 8TB Internal Storage: Comes with an 8TB enterprise-grade HDD pre-installed, with an additional 2.5" compartment for user-installable expansion.
• Comprehensive OCXO-Controlled Outputs: A full suite of digital outputs, including AES/EBU, Coax (BNC & RCA), and Optical, are all governed by the master OCXO clock.
• Dedicated Low-Noise USB Output: A dedicated, isolated USB Audio Class 2.0 output delivers a pristine, noise-free signal to your DAC.
• Linear Power Supply & Super Capacitor UPS: A sophisticated linear power supply in a dedicated chassis provides clean power, while a super capacitor-based UPS ensures safe shutdown.
• Stunning 8.8" 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.

The Purity of Separation

The Reference N30SA’s two-chassis design is the ultimate expression of high-fidelity principles. By placing the massive power transformers and complex regulation circuits in an entirely separate, full-size chassis, any potential for electrical or mechanical interference with the delicate audio signal is eliminated. This complete isolation creates a profoundly silent background, allowing the audio circuit to process and output the digital signal with a level of purity and clarity that reveals the finest, most subtle details in a recording. The result is a soundstage of breathtaking scale and focus, where music emerges from a void of pure blackness.

The Heartbeat of the Music: Precision Timing

In digital audio, timing is everything. The N30SA employs Aurender's state-of-the-art OCXO Rev2 clock, a reference-grade oscillator that provides a timing reference of breathtaking precision, virtually eliminating the jitter that can smear detail and flatten the soundstage. The result is a sound that is rhythmically coherent and effortlessly natural, with a sense of musical flow that is truly captivating. For those seeking the absolute pinnacle of system synergy, a 75Ω BNC master clock input allows the N30SA to slave to an external master clock, achieving an even higher level of temporal accuracy.

Power, Purified

The N30SA’s dedicated power supply chassis is a heroic component in its own right. It houses a sophisticated linear power supply with three separate transformers for the CPU and the left and right digital output boards. This delivery of immaculately clean, stable, and isolated power is fundamental to the N30SA’s ability to reproduce stunning dynamics and micro-details with absolute composure. The entire system is protected by a super capacitor-based UPS, which provides enough power for the unit to shut down safely and gracefully in the event of a power failure.

The Ultimate Digital Hub

The N30SA is designed to be the versatile, reference-level center of any digital audio system. Its connectivity is both comprehensive and engineered for the highest quality. The network port is double-isolated to prevent noise from your router from entering the signal path. The full suite of digital outputs—AES/EBU, Coax, and Optical—are all directly controlled by the master OCXO clock for the lowest possible jitter. With a massive 8TB of built-in storage and an expansion bay, it can house the most extensive music libraries, all navigated through the beautiful front-panel display and the acclaimed Aurender Conductor app.
