Product Description

The Aurender AP20 Integrated Amplifier is a premium Integrated Amplifier with the heart of an Aurender.

Elegance. Finesse. Resolution. Grace. 

If ever Aristotle’s adage: “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” is applicable in audio, it applies to AP20. And, given the quality and quantity of parts in this equation, that’s saying a lot.

AP20 delivers unprecedented audio performance from an integrated amplifier. It includes the world’s best Class D amp modules in a dual-mono configuration, an analog R2R relay-based volume control and preamp section, Aurender’s best DAC, a master clock input, a headphone output, a suite of digital and analog inputs and outputs, and the most sophisticated linear power supply block Aurender has ever deployed.

The result? An audio component that paints every musical timbre with full-bodied realism. With a delicate touch that’s backed up by enormous headroom for transients and dynamic swings, AP20 drives even the most demanding speaker loads and casts a soundstage that is both expansive and laser-focused.

All of this performance, with the heart of an Aurender.

Other integrated amplifier solutions on the market may offer support for app-controlled streaming, but in nearly every case, the user experience, library management, and software playback engine are an afterthought requiring third-party software and hardware to get the job done. In AP20’s case, more than 10 years of industry-leading experience has made Aurender the digital source component of choice in the world’s finest audio systems. Now, that same holistic digital playback engine and user experience is available from an integrated amplifier that completely removes the need for more components and cables.

Just add speakers, and enjoy a premium HiFi experience, without all the HiFi boxes.

Brand

Aurender

High-end audio manufacturer Aurender is known for building quality audio products designed for the modern age. During the past decade as people moved to streaming music as their primary way of listening to their favorite artists, Aurender noticed a gap in the market for delivering high-performance audio to these customers. Established in Korea in 2010, it still does much of its development and manufacturing in its home country, with design and marketing done in California.

Aurender products seek to bring high-quality audio to the streaming world through their wide range of music streamers, servers and transporters. CD rippers let music lovers upload their personal music collections while cutting-edge decoders deliver full MQA quality sound. Access all your favorite artists with native integration of leading high-resolution audio subscriptions like Qobuz, Spotify, and Tidal. Aurender also offers two USB converters to add greater connectivity to their products.

Enjoy the ultimate in digital sound through their 14 distinct music streamers with varying degrees of storage, processing and connection options all featuring their seamless Aurender Conductor App. During our high-end installs, we recommend their premier A30 network player which includes the company’s best built-in DAC, CD ripping technology, advanced library management, up to 10 terrabytes of storage and a dedicated headphone section.
