FLAC, ALAC, APE, AIFF, M4A, and other major formats at native bit and
sampling rates, N100H comes with a full linear power supply,
either 2TB or 4TB of onboard storage (select from the drop-down menu), a
120GB solid-state drive for cache playback, first-class USB digital
audio output based on the engineering of the flagship Aurender W20, and a Gigabit Ethernet port for outstanding connectivity. Want to enjoy lossless files streamed from TIDAL? N100H has you covered. A machined aluminum case, three-inch AMOLED display, and Aurender's
acclaimed Conductor app help round out a component that will take you
deep into the 21st century of high-res music and far beyond.
"Having used the N100H and W20 side-by-side, [I] can say that
the N100H offers the identical user experience and many of the
flagship's sonic virtues for a lot less money."
– Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, Product of the Year Award
"The N100H arrives with more than enough potential and flexibility to satisfy both newcomers and experienced ‘philes alike...."
– John Darko, Digital Audio Review, Knock-Out Award
Best-in-Class Technology Includes Solid-State Drive for Cached Playback
N100H incorporates many innovations originally developed for the
higher-priced Aurender S10 and W20 models, including a solid-state drive
cache for playback that eliminates latency and drop-outs from NAS
drives. If a selected song or album is already cached to the solid-state
drive, N100H will play from the internal SSD. This minimizes wear and
tear on the NAS drive. Also, by caching songs to the solid-state drive
for playback, N100H eliminates music-quality degradation and drop outs
caused by non-optimal network connection between the NAS and the
streamer. N100H's high-performance USB digital audio output was
developed using the same engineering as the USB outputs on the flagship
W20.
Award-Winning Aurender Conductor App with Convenient Features
The Aurender Conductor App turns your iPad into a versatile user
interface for Aurender Music Players and makes managing, viewing, and
playing high-resolution music collections a breeze. All settings and
functions of N100H can be easily accessed through the Settings menu of
the Aurender App. With the help of Aurender Media Manager (AMM) for
PC/Mac, N100H and all other existing Aurender Music server series can
display and use meta-tag information of the contents on the NAS the same
as the content in the Aurender's internal Storage. Offering
unparalleled support, sending a Remote Support Request using the
Aurender Conductor App allows Aurender engineers to quickly diagnose and
fix problems over the Internet.
Dedicated USB 2.0 Output Among Stellar Network Connectivity
Developed using the same engineering as the USB outputs on the flagship
W20, a dedicated USB Audio Class 2.0 output delivers an exceptionally
transparent, noise-free audio signal. It's also shielded from outside
electronic interference. For network connectivity, streaming, upgrades,
and file transfers, N100H has a Gigabyte Ethernet port and pair of USB
2.0 data ports for copying files from USB memory sticks. A full linear
power supply provides clean and stable power to the CPU circuit and
audio output circuit.
