~~4150 €~~ 3900 €

Simply Elegant. Bona Fide Aurender sound at a real-world price. Minimalist High-Performance Digital Output Network Transport with dedicated USB Audio Output.

Smart Decision for the Sound Obsessed

N150 is the most accessible and economical entry point to the “Aurender Way” of enjoying music with a stable, reliable, great sounding digital source component. Although it was designed with affordability in mind, in true Aurender fashion, its audio performance decidedly belies its cost. The N150 is the source to choose when upgrading from a cd player, computer, or budget brand streamer to discover the world of true high end, high resolution playback.

Designed to be used exclusively with a USB DAC, the N150 incorporates our latest dedicated USB Audio Class 2.0 output and double isolated gigabit LAN port to lower both noise and jitter for the pristine reproduction of high-resolution files and streams. A high contrast 3″ AMOLED screen mounted on a compact and handsome machined aluminum chassis indicates “Now Playing” track info.

Performance and usability enhancing features include a linear power supply, low power/high-efficiency Intel CPU board, super capacitor-based UPS, and a user-installable storage tray for the SSD or HDD that suits your library storage needs.

N150 is the perfect choice for music lovers who care not for the large, full-color screen and SPDIF or AES/EBU outputs of models higher up in Aurender’s range. There is nothing “entry level” about N150, except for the price.
