Aurender NH-10 Network Hub

The Aurender NH10 is an audiophile-grade network hub engineered to elevate digital audio playback to an entirely new level. It redefines network performance for music lovers by focusing on the three pillars of signal integrity: clean power delivery, precise timing, and noise-free transmission. Unlike conventional network hubs, the NH10 embodies advanced design principles, including an ultra-stable OCXO clock and a pure linear power supply. By meticulously eliminating the noise and jitter that plague typical network environments, the NH10 ensures your music is reproduced with remarkable accuracy, clarity, and emotional impact, setting a new standard in digital audio networking.

Key Features

• Audiophile-Grade Network Hub: A ground-up design focused on eliminating noise and jitter for superior audio playback.
• Ultra-Stable OCXO Clock: An Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) provides an exceptionally precise master clock for all internal operations.
• 10MHz Master Clock Input: A BNC input allows for synchronization with an external 10MHz reference clock for even greater precision.
• Pure Linear Power Supply: All internal circuits are powered by linear regulation, with no noisy DC-to-DC converters, ensuring pristine power delivery.
• Comprehensive Galvanic Isolation: Features two optically isolated SFP ports for complete electrical decoupling from the network.
• Advanced Port Filtering: All RJ-45 ports incorporate advanced filtering to ensure signal purity from connected components.
• Precision-Machined Chassis: A robust, heavy-duty aluminum chassis shields sensitive components from vibration and electrical interference.

Exceptional Jitter Reduction

At the very core of the NH10 is an obsession with perfect timing. The entire system is governed by an ultra-stable OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) with a frequency stability rating of <0.005 ppm. This reference-grade clock, controlled by an FPGA, synchronizes all internal operations, eliminating the timing discrepancies and jitter that can smear musical detail and flatten the soundstage. For those seeking the absolute zenith of performance, a 10MHz master clock input allows the NH10 to be slaved to an external atomic or GPS reference clock.

Pure Linear Power Supply

The NH10’s performance is built on a foundation of pure, clean power. Unlike conventional hubs that use noisy, high-frequency switching power supplies and DC-to-DC converters, every single circuit within the NH10 is powered exclusively by linear regulation. This meticulous approach provides an exceptionally clean and stable power source, minimizing power-related distortion and noise at the very start of the signal chain. This clean power delivery is critical for allowing the sensitive clocking and filtering circuits to operate at their full potential.

Comprehensive Galvanic and Noise Isolation

The NH10 is engineered to be a fortress against noise. Its robust, precision-machined aluminum chassis acts as a shield against both external electrical interference (RFI/EMI) and mechanical vibration, creating a quiet and stable operating environment. Each of its RJ-45 ports incorporates advanced filtering to purify the signal from connected devices. For the ultimate in isolation, the NH10 features two optically isolated SFP ports. These ports provide complete galvanic isolation, using light to transmit data and creating an electrical "air gap" that completely eliminates any noise or interference from the main network.

Meticulous Audiophile Design

Every element of the NH10 has been fine-tuned for audiophile performance. The robust aluminum chassis is not just for shielding; its mass and rigidity provide a solid foundation that further contributes to its acoustic performance by damping micro-vibrations. Even the port activity indicator LEDs can be switched off via a toggle switch, eliminating a potential source of low-level electrical noise and allowing for a completely "dark" operating mode, ensuring every decision is in service of uncompromised sound quality.
