Aurender N50 Music Server

Experience High-Resolution Music without Compromise: Aurender N50 Music Server Features Triple-Chassis Design for Supreme Isolation, OCXO Clock Controlled by a Dedicated FPGA, and Native DSD1024 Support

The formidable, three-chassis design of the Aurender N50 music server provides the first clue that this top-end component isn’t your standard high-res hub. The sound — effortless, warm, cohesive, richly detailed, vastly dynamic, supremely organic, free of audible noise and presented against ink-black backgrounds — confirms what you likely thought the first time you saw the triple stack and before any notes reached your ears. N50 is indeed digital without compromise, a benchmark engineering feat that supports up to native DSD1024 and 1536kHz PCM.

Split into three individual machined-aluminum units to entirely isolate server, power, and audio operation, N50 invites you to experience music reproduction in ways few imagine possible in a private home environment. Quiet, natural, and refined, it epitomizes sonic accuracy and purity, projecting three-dimensional soundstages limited only by the scope of your other associated gear. It takes nearly every conceivable measure to perform free of interference and preserve the complete integrity of the signal, ensuring you get the full emotional impact of the program at hand. 

Offering native interfacing with TIDAL, Qobuz, and Spotify, the Roon-ready N50 features an OCXO clock controlled by a dedicated FPGA to provide nearly unmeasurable jitter and exact timing. Support for an optional external master clock, isolated network ports, and multi-layer DC and AC filtering to further eradicate power-line noise all contribute to its ideal foundation for reference fidelity. Ditto a pair of laboratory-selected, high-inductance toroidal transformers — each vacuum-encapsulated and epoxy filled within a polished stainless-steel enclosure for maximum isolation and longevity. 

Able to seamlessly integrate with practically any setup, N50 touts a flexible array of connectivity that extends to an I2S output, seven-fold galvanically isolated Gigabit LAN module, MSB ProISL interface, dual AES/EBU outputs, and a galvanically isolated USB 2.0 output. An 8.8-inch 1920 x 480 IPS color LCD front-panel display and two 2.5-inch storage banks add to its welcoming user face, as does synchronicity with Aurender’s award-winning Conductor app. 

With each unit measuring 3.8 x 16.9 x 14.0 inches (HWD), N50 comes packed with other reference-grade components that help account for its prowess. A sophisticated power supply that includes a four-core 80 unit for the digital output board and another for the CPU board, an Intel Quad Core CPU, and 8GB of RAM are also on board. If you want MQA, an MQA Core-Decoder upgrade can be had via Aurender. A two-year manufacturer warranty comes with N50.
