Aurender ACS10

The Aurender ACS10 is the company's full-featured Content Server, a large-capacity music archive, high-quality CD ripper, and high-performance USB audio transport in a single full-width chassis. Designed to eliminate computers from the digital audio chain entirely, the ACS10 combines TEAC optical drive CD ripping, up to 28TB of internal RAID storage, full linear power supply, and dedicated isolated USB output in the most complete single-component digital music solution Aurender offers.

Type and Technology

CD ripper, music archive, network library server, and USB audio transport. TEAC drawer-loading optical drive with Aurender's audiophile CD ripping engine, lossless, error-corrected rips in FLAC, WAV, or AIFF with automatic metadata retrieval, fully editable via the ACS Manager app. Up to 28TB internal storage in RAID1 configuration (mirrored drives for data protection), special order configurations available. Full linear power supply for a low noise floor, with supercapacitor UPS for safe shutdown. Dedicated USB audio output physically and electrically isolated from the CPU board, the same approach as in Aurender's dedicated transports. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports (one double-isolated) for library serving to multiple Aurender players on the home network simultaneously. Nimbie auto-loader compatible for large batch ripping. ACS10 acts as the central "mothership" for multi-room Aurender systems. PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD512 natively via USB. Controlled via Aurender Conductor and ACS Manager apps.

Sound Character

As a standalone USB audio transport, the ACS10 is a capable and genuinely musical source, the full linear power supply and isolated USB output produce a meaningfully quieter presentation than any computer-based source. As a CD ripping station and library server, it is the cleanest, most audiophile-oriented approach to building a local high-resolution music archive, with ripping quality that consistently outperforms consumer-grade ripping software on a computer.

Build and Finish

Full-width precision-machined aluminum chassis at 16.9" W x 14" D x 3.8" H. 27 lbs. 4.0" IPS LCD front panel display. Available in Black or Silver.

Best For

Music collectors with large CD libraries who want to archive everything in the highest quality and serve it throughout a multi-room Aurender system, the definitive all-in-one Aurender solution for physical media and local library enthusiasts.
