Aurender - A20 - Music Server / Streamer / DAC

The Aurender A20 is a reference-class music server, network streamer, and digital-to-analog converter engineered to deliver uncompromising high-resolution playback performance within an elegant all-in-one platform. Combining Aurender’s advanced streaming architecture with premium dual-mono DAC implementation and fully balanced analog circuitry, the A20 serves as a complete digital front-end solution for world-class two-channel systems.

At the heart of the A20 are dual AKM AK4497 DAC chips operating in a fully balanced dual-mono configuration alongside Aurender’s proprietary FPGA-based precision clocking technology. A powerful Intel quad-core processor works in conjunction with NVMe SSD caching playback architecture to minimize noise and improve playback stability, while multiple isolated linear power supplies contribute to exceptional transparency, low jitter, and dynamic realism.

The A20 supports extensive high-resolution streaming and local library playback through Aurender’s acclaimed Conductor application platform. Integrated analog volume control, headphone amplification, optional internal storage installation, and extensive digital connectivity allow the A20 to function as a sophisticated centerpiece for modern high-end digital audio systems.
