You will definitely hear the benefits of a clock this precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) for Long-Term Jitter Reduction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOCXOs are among the most accurate and stable clocks in use today, and they are orders of magnitude more accurate and stable than commonly used ordinary crystal oscillators usually found in computers. Temperature changes cause crystal oscillations to fluctuate, which can lead to jitter in the digital audio signal. Moreover, ordinary crystals are much less stable and lose accuracy over time. In OCXO clocks, a very stable, high-grade crystal oscillator is enclosed in a compartment and kept at a constant temperature to prevent jitter from temperature fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecision DSD-to-PCM Conversion by FPGA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eMany DACs support DSD decoding only on their USB inputs, but not on SPDIF. Additionally, many excellent DACs still in use are non-DSD compliant. That's why the Aurender N20 (and W20SE and N10) all feature this extremely high-quality method of DSD-to-PCM conversion on-the-fly by FPGA. The resulting sampling frequency output is user selectable between 88.2kHz and 176.4kHz, gain is adjustable 1-6dB, and a low-pass filter accommodates 24Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, and 50Hz settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFPGA-Based All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAn All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop system (ADPLL) incorporating Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) with OCXO clocks precisely times digital audio data transmissions and minimizes jitter to below negligible levels.

The external word clock can then be used to synchronize timing between both digital devices ensuring jitter-free and time-perfect data transmission. The N20 can accept word clocks with the following frequencies – Master clock: 10MHz, 12.8MHz, Word clock: 44.1KHz and 48KHz in multiples from 1 to 512. The N20 supports both word clock (dCS, DACs or similar) or Master Clock (MSB DACs or similar) inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAt the heart of any music server is essentially a computer, and like a computer, the server doesn't like it when its electrical connection is abruptly terminated. In the case of an AC power outage or momentary \"brownout\", the N20 is protected by a clever super capacitor-based power supply ,which allows the unit to stay powered on long enough to automatically power down. This prevents the system and hard drives from being corrupted by the loss of AC power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUser-Installable Hard Drive Storage with Solid-State Caching Drive for Playback\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIf you wish to add one or two internal drives of your own, the N20 provides unparalleled flexibility in terms of the type and capacity of drive that can be fitted.

Temperature changes cause crystal oscillations to fluctuate, which can lead to jitter in the digital audio signal. Moreover, ordinary crystals are much less stable and lose accuracy over time. In OCXO clocks, a very stable, high-grade crystal oscillator is enclosed in a compartment and kept at a constant temperature to prevent jitter from temperature fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecision DSD-to-PCM Conversion by FPGA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eMany DACs support DSD decoding only on their USB inputs, but not on SPDIF. Additionally, many excellent DACs still in use are non-DSD compliant. That's why the Aurender N20 (and W20SE and N10) all feature this extremely high-quality method of DSD-to-PCM conversion on-the-fly by FPGA. The resulting sampling frequency output is user selectable between 88.2kHz and 176.4kHz, gain is adjustable 1-6dB, and a low-pass filter accommodates 24Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, and 50Hz settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFPGA-Based All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAn All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop system (ADPLL) incorporating Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) with OCXO clocks precisely times digital audio data transmissions and minimizes jitter to below negligible levels.
