Aurender - N20 - Music Server / Network Streamer

The N20 is Aurender’s reference-level music server and network streamer built for listeners who want exceptional digital performance without stepping into the complexity of multi-chassis flagship systems. Combining advanced clocking technology, ultra-low-noise circuitry, and extensive output flexibility, the N20 delivers a presentation that feels spacious, natural, and remarkably refined.

At the heart of the N20 is Aurender’s FPGA-controlled OCXO clock architecture paired with galvanically isolated digital outputs and a fully linear power supply. The result is lower jitter, improved timing accuracy, and a quieter background that allows instruments and vocals to emerge with greater stability, texture, and dimensionality. Its dedicated audio output section and isolated USB implementation help preserve signal purity across a wide variety of DAC pairings.

With support for high-resolution PCM and DSD playback, user-installable storage, and Aurender’s highly regarded Conductor app ecosystem, the N20 is designed as a true long-term digital source component. It’s an elegant solution for systems demanding both musicality and technical precision at the highest level.

Available in Silver or Black finishes.
