It delivers exceptional audio performance and is the perfect model to choose if you are upgrading from a laptop-based audio system, for example. The N150 is the latest iteration of the legendary N100H and incorporates several upgrades and improvements that bring it to a new level of audio performance and functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe heart of the N150 is the newly specified low-power Intel dual-core CPU, providing low-noise processing for the desirable quiet background for your music. Also contributing to lower noise operation is the new 2X isolated Gigabit LAN port and ultra-clean Audio Class 2.0 USB output. Additionally, a built-in super-capacitor based uninterrupted power supply (UPS) will safely boot-down the N150 in case of an abrupt power outage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe N150 is a compact component incorporating everything needed to browse and stream hi-res music from Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify or internet radio using our dedicated application, Aurender Conductor. Aurender has also expanded the options for internal music library storage. Should you wish to add digital files to the N150, there’s a provision to add a single 2TB or 4TB HDD or an 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 8TB SSD in order to fully accommodate the size of your file library. And if you are only interested in streaming, hard drives are totally unnecessary!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHandles Virtually Any File Format with Speed and Ease\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe N150 handles virtually any file format. From its “clean” Audio Class 2.0 USB output file resolutions supported include 32-bit \/ 384kHz, 1-bit, 2.8MHz (DSD64); 1-bit, 5.6MHz (DSD128), 11.2MHz (DSD256) and DSD512. Updated and improved upon by virtue of an all-new dual-core processor, low-noise linear power supply and increased system memory brings higher fidelity to your digital files and streams. The beautifully machined aluminum chassis sports a 3.0” AMOLED display that indicates the album and song name in an alphanumeric readout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe N150, as is true of all Aurender models, benefits from being an inclusive design, meaning that all the necessary technology required for file serving or streaming music is incorporate within one audio component. This approach provides a high level of stability, reliability and predictability of operation which results in superior sound quality and user experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eA full-linear power supply provides clean and stable power to the CPU and audio output circuitry. Linear supplies are renowned for their ability to deliver a wide dynamic range capability, deep and powerful low frequency response, and a wide and deep soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll Aurender music servers are controlled by the company's exclusive app, Aurender Conductor, which is supported on iPad, iPhone, Android phone and tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInnovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe N150 incorporates technology derived from Aurender's best-in-class models. For example, the solid-state 240GB NVMe caching drive for playback eliminates latency and the potential of drop-outs often associated with using IT storage devices like NAS and USB drives for music playback. And the dedicated high-performance Audio 2.0 USB digital audio output or SPDIF coax feature ultra low-noise power circuitry to deliver a pristine digital stream to the connected DAC. The N200 greatly benefits from “trickle down” technology from Aurender's far more expensive models, allowing it to deliver audio performance that belies its cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStorage and Connectivity, Your Way\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eMany consumers today are using streaming services exclusively. For these users, no internal hard drive is necessary, however the N150 can accommodate a single internal SSD or HD drive, if you wish. The drive is user installed at purchase, any time thereafter, or never.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor network connectivity, streaming, upgrades, and file transfers, N150 has a Gigabit Ethernet Port along with two USB 2.0 data ports for copying files from a USB HDD or USB thumb drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eLoading music into your Aurender is simple and easy. You can choose between two simple methods depending upon where you digital music library currently resides – direct from a USB storage device or over the network from a NAS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Aurender Conductor App Takes Control of Your Music\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Aurender Conductor App turns your iPad, Android phone, or tablet into a highly versatile user interface for Aurender Music Servers, making managing, viewing, playing and streaming high-resolution music collections a breeze. All permissions, behaviors and functions of the Aurender Music Server \/ Streamer can be easily accessed through the Settings menu of the Aurender ConductorApp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eEmbedded within the Aurender App are the lossless streaming services Tidal and Qobuz (subscription required). When using a streaming service, Aurender handles the streaming content the same way as files stored internally, so all functions and operations are the same with either library. In fact, it’s easy to combine streaming content into your library of files making all content appear to be one and the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAurender’s optional MQA Core Decoder (optional in-app purchase) upgrade enables first unfold to play MQA files through a non-MQA certified DAC at up to 88.2kHz or 96kHz. The Core Decode upgrade can also deliver the first unfold to MQA certified DACs requiring it so the DAC can perform the final rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUSB HDD and NAS (Network-Attached Storage) Support\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBest performance occurs when music is stored on the Aurender’s internal storage. However, the Aurender platform is also capable of seamlessly integrating content stored on a NAS or external USB hard drive. In this case, stored content navigation is accomplished from the folder view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAurender's dedicated USB Audio Class 2.0 output is designed to deliver an exceptionally transparent audio signal, free of noise and shielded from any outside electrical or RFI interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNetwork Streaming with Solid-State Drive (SSD) Caching Playback\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAfter a song or album is selected from the Aurender Conductor App, that specific music is cached to the 240GB NVMe SSD from the internal drive, and the N150 will then playback directly from the SSD. This minimizes wear and tear on the drives, because after loading to the caching drive, the storage drive(s) goes idle. Additionally, by caching songs to the SDD for playback, it eliminates any sound quality degradation and even dropouts due to a non-optimal network connection from, for example, a NAS drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRemote Internet Technical Support\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn the unlikely event you may need technical support, you can do so right from the Aurender Conductor App. Sending a Remote Support Request from the app allows engineers to quickly diagnose and correct problems over the Internet, should they occur.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurender","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45981200679085,"sku":"NEW-AXN150-BLK","price":3900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/AXN150_BLK_01_2024__08422.1728667093.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778091666","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/aurender-n150-music-server-streamer-black","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
