Know before you buy
The Aurender N100H loads your music from the internal HDD into a 240GB SSD cache before playback. This eliminates mechanical noise and latency from the hard drive, ensuring a smoother, more stable signal path for your DAC.
The N100H is designed as a dedicated wired network player and does not feature built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It connects directly to your router via Ethernet to ensure the most reliable, high-bandwidth connection for high-resolution audio.
Yes, the N100H features a dedicated USB Audio Class 2.0 output specifically designed to connect to high-end external DACs. This output is engineered to be jitter-free and highly isolated from electrical noise.
An Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) is a high-precision clock that maintains extreme timing accuracy regardless of temperature fluctuations. This minimizes digital jitter, resulting in a more precise, natural, and detailed soundstage.
No, the N100H is a standalone music server. Once your music is stored on the internal drives, you manage your library and playback entirely through the Aurender Conductor App on your tablet or smartphone.
If you outgrow the internal storage, you can easily expand your library by connecting external USB hard drives or NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices to the N100H. The Conductor App will integrate these files into your main library view seamlessly.
