Product Description

Digital Output Content Server

The Aurender ACS100 music server was developed to be a more cost-effective version of the ACS10 offering many of the same functions as the ACS10. The ACS100 quite simply delivers much more than other competitive brands in its price class.

As a music server / streamer, the Aurender ACS100 enjoys operational control via Aurender Conductor for both iPad tablets and Android devices. All the features you’d expect from Aurender like clutter-free direct access to your music as well as app-embedded Tidal and Qobuz subscription streaming services, Spotify Connect, internet radio, MQA Core decoding (optional), CD ripping and advanced metadata editing and library management.

Storage

The Aurender ACS100 provides two sliding trays located on the rear panel that are designed to hold your choice of HDDs or SSDs for storage. You can install one drive to start and as your storage requirements change, add another or load both for maximum storage capacity.

CD Ripping

Aurender’s CD ripping engine creates the best sounding files in your choice of FLAC, WAV or AIFF codecs. Metadata is automatically retrived and the album cover art and other metadata can be viewed on the front panel display. A TEAC CD-ROM drive extracts the CD data in bit-perfect fashion in a one-touch operation and places the file in a user determined folder for immediate playback.

Tag Editing and Library Management

Smart Tag Editor is an application for the modification of various metadata fields allowing user to correct the files tags to suit their music sorting requirements. A Copy / Move / Delete feature allows for easy transfer of music libraries from various other network attached devices and can also perform a scan for duplicate file removal.

Aurender Ecosystem

One can use ACS100 as a central server for other Aurender players. Connectivity is accomplished over the network allowing the ACS100 to be placed anywhere convenient. Although the ACS100 can operate as a stand-alone music server / streamer, best sound quality is achieved when using an N100H, N100C, N100SC, N10, A100, A10, A30 or W20SE Aurender music server / streamer as the main player.

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.
