Aurender N200

The Aurender N200 is a high-performance music server and streamer that brings nearly all the technological advances of the N30SA and N20 into an accessible package, with fully linear power supply, dedicated isolated USB audio output, and Aurender's flagship streaming software experience, at a price that makes serious network audio available to a much broader audience.

Type and Technology

Digital music server and USB audio transport with no internal DAC. Fully linear power supply for a low noise floor. Dedicated USB Audio output physically and electrically isolated from the CPU board, the same approach used in N20, N30SA, and W20SE to minimize noise in the critical audio interconnect. TCXO audio clock. Two user-installable storage bays supporting up to 2x8TB SSDs. Coax RCA output included for legacy DAC connections. PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD512 natively via USB. Supercapacitor UPS for safe shutdown. 6.9" 1280x480 wide IPS LCD front panel display. Double-isolated Gigabit Ethernet. Aurender Conductor app (iOS).

Sound Character

The N200 delivers audio performance that is very close to the N20 in real-world listening, the absence of OCXO-controlled SPDIF and AES/EBU outputs is the only meaningful distinction, and for listeners using USB input on their DAC, this distinction is irrelevant. The linear power supply and isolated USB output provide the quiet background and tonal richness that define the Aurender sound at a fraction of the N20's price.

Build and Finish

Compact precision-machined aluminum chassis at 13" W x 14" D x 3.8" H. 19.4 lbs. Available in Black or Silver. 6.9" IPS color LCD display.

Best For

Audiophiles who use USB input on their DAC and want Aurender's full software and hardware quality at an accessible price, a genuine upgrade from any computer-based audio setup.
