Aurender N-150 Server/Streamer
Best-in-class technology includes a Solid-State drive for cached playback
N150H 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, N150 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, N150 eliminates music-quality degradation and dropouts caused by non-optimal network connection between the NAS and the streamer. N150 high-performance USB digital audio output was developed using the same engineering as the USB outputs on the flagship W20.
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, N150H has a Gigabyte Ethernet port and pair of USB 3.0 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.
