Aurender ACS10

Aurender ACS10

Designed and developed to eliminate the reliance upon computers and other IT products in your digital audio system, the Aurender Content Server ACS10, unifies the activities of CD ripping, NAS-style storage with RAID mirroring, advanced library management and metadata editing. All this and more is incorporated within one network attached audio component.

The software suite, ACSManager, utilizes easy-to-use menus to perform these tasks right from your iPad. And, the ACS10 is so versatile it can function as a stand-alone caching music server/streamer when connected to a USB DAC, or as a complementary companion to another Aurender model.

The Aurender ACS10 is a device designed to completely remove the computer from “computer audio.”

Its core functions encompass everything an audiophile needs and expects from a file-based playback system. All functionality is consolidated with attention given to the simplification of the tasks at hand.

ACS10 can be used as a fully-functional server and streamer delivering pristine digital output via an Aurender’s filtered and isolated USB 2.0 audio port. However, the highest audio performance is realized when using the ACS10 mated with models A10, N10 or W20, where its CD ripping, library management, 2X isolated LAN port, and powerful processor will greatly enhance the Aurender experience.

For Aurender users seeking to add the functions of CD ripping, expanded storage and backup and metadata editing the ACS10 is the ideal companion. Customers seeking that same functionality in a stand alone one box server / streamer solution can use ACS10 in that way as well.
