N200 Signature Music Server 2 x Slots for 2.5″ HDD or SSD Drive (user installable) USB and Coaxial Digital Outputs N200 Rack Appeal. Step up your streaming game. High-Performance Digital Output Network Transport with USB and Coaxial digital outputs, handsome color screen, and 2 x 2.5″ Slots for user-installable library storage The Art of Music Making N200 represents a milestone in terms of exceptional sound quality, unique feature set, and high value. In order to make N200 accessible to as many music lovers as possible, we have omitted the expensive OCXO-controlled digital audio board in favor of a simple, dedicated USB audio output. N200 sports all the recent Aurender technological innovations including cache-based playback, a low power Intel quad-core processor, our latest generation modular USB Audio output, double isolated gigabit ethernet port, and super-capacitor based uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for safe shut downs. N200 is capable of handling PCM up to 384kHz and DSD content up to an amazing DSD512! A 6.9” full-color IPS LCD display renders album artwork and track information in gorgeous detail. We’ve also expanded the internal music library storage capacity by providing two user-installable SSD/HDD trays to suit your needs. And, if you’re 100% streaming, no storage drives need to be installed. N200 delivers audio performance very close to the pinnacle Aurender experience, with only compromises that are irrelevant except in the context of the most extreme high-end systems. Key Features Flagship DNA, Repurposed The same technological advances that make N20, N30SA, and W20SE so special are also found on N200. But, by omitting the OCXO clock controlled SPDIF & AES/EBU digital outputs, we are able to deliver stellar USB audio performance in a smaller, more economical package. Audio Grade Linear Power Supply with UPS Clean power is the single most important factor in enjoying your favorite music with the highest fidelity from a digital source component. N200 features a fully linear power supply block for a low noise floor, allowing the nuances and detail of your music to sing out. Super Capacitor UPS system protects your Aurender in case of abrupt loss of power. Aurender’s Dedicated USB Audio Output USB is historically prone to transferring noise between devices. That’s why Aurender’s dedicated USB Audio output is physically and electrically isolated from the noise-generating CPU board to minimize noise in the sensitive audio interconnect. User-Installable Storage Options N200 is built with two trays for user-installable storage. Need a lot of capacity? Load up to 2 8TB SSDs! Not into storing files and prefer to stream? Leave them empty, and don’t pay for storage capacity you won’t use. 6.9″ Front Panel Display An impressive 6.9″ full-color IPS LCD display reproduces the album art, artist name and song title in utter elegance. Coax RCA Audio Output In addition to N200’s exceptional USB Audio Output, a coax RCA output is also included for your convenience to connect to a legacy DAC or second system. Hallmarks of Aurender Hardware Software Integration A closed system. Aurender playback and control software is developed in the same building as its hardware. Superior integration means that Aurender’s software engineers are able to specifically optimize playback performance of the extremely robust hardware at their disposal. Caching Playback Engine Other systems buffer. Aurenders cache. Every Aurender model features a massive solid state memory from which all playback occurs. This important feature helps to minimize system resource requirements for enhanced audio performance and stability. Dedicated USB Audio Output USB is prone to transferring noise between devices. Aurender’s dedicated USB Audio output is physically and electrically isolated from the noise-generating CPU board to minimize noise in the sensitive audio interconnect. Low-Power High-Efficiency CPU A powerful CPU is essential to making any computer run smoothly and quickly. However, with more power comes more noise. Aurender’s low-power high-efficiency Intel CPUs have enough headroom to run the machine while minimizing the amount of current drawn in order to keep the noise floor as low as possible. Elegant Front Panel Display Easy to read high resolution LCD display. Dynamic, elegant, understated. Double Isolated LAN Port Two layers of transformer based isolation to filter noise out of Ethernet connection. Local Library Storage Capacity Every Aurender contains either massive built-in internal storage capacity, or at least one slot for super easy user-installable storage options. Enjoy localized media storage, and ditch the cumbersome NAS or HDD. Integrated Streaming Services The entire world of streaming music content is available to you within one great app. Enjoy integrated access to TIDAL, Qobuz, and Internet Radio. Plus Spotify Connect and AirPlay. Critical Listening Mode Enable Critical Listening Mode to defeat the front panel screen, buttons, and all background computing activity that is not essential for playing music. CLM offers an even quieter, more transparent audio presentation. USB HDD and NAS Connectivity The best user experience occurs when your music content is stored on Aurender’s internal storage. However, USB 3.0 data ports and NAS share connectivity are included in order to play or import content stored on a NAS, external USB hard drive, or thumb drive. Support for All Major Audio Codecs & Formats Remote Internet Technical Support In case you should encounter any difficulty or problems, Aurender’s dedicated support team may log into your system remotely to diagnose and fix any issues.
