Aurender A15 Cache streaming Dac pre server

Aurender A15 Network Player

The Aurender A15 is a high-performance all-in-one network player with a built-in DAC, combining streaming, storage and digital-to-analogue conversion in a single, elegant component. Designed as an upgrade to the A10, it delivers improved performance, flexibility and simplicity for modern HiFi systems.

Key features:

• all-in-one network player with built-in DAC
• dual-mono AKM4490 DAC with MQA full decoding
• balanced XLR and RCA analogue outputs
• linear power supply with multiple transformers
• FPGA-based precision clocking
• dual user-installable storage bays
• colour front panel display
• Aurender Conductor app control

Design and performance:

The A15 is designed to replace multiple components with a single high-performance unit. Its dual-mono DAC architecture ensures accurate channel separation and a smooth, natural sound free from digital harshness.

With support for high-resolution formats and MQA decoding, it provides a detailed and refined listening experience across streaming and locally stored music.

Noise and signal integrity:

• fully linear power supply with four toroidal transformers
• advanced shielding and isolation to reduce electrical noise
• FPGA-based clock system with sub-100 femtosecond precision
• low jitter signal path for improved timing and clarity

These elements contribute to a quiet background, stable imaging and strong musical coherence.

Connectivity:

• balanced XLR analogue outputs
• RCA analogue outputs
• coaxial digital input
• optical digital input
• ethernet connection for streaming

The analogue outputs allow direct connection to a power amplifier, enabling the A15 to function as a digital preamplifier.

Storage and flexibility:

• two user-installable 2.5” drive bays
• supports HDD or SSD up to 8TB each
• optional storage depending on user needs
• suitable for both streaming-only and local library setups

Technical highlights:

• PCM support up to 32-bit / 768kHz
• DSD support up to DSD512
• full MQA decoding
• DAC-level volume control for direct amplifier connection

Display and control:

• front panel colour display showing album artwork and track info
• Aurender Conductor app for full system control
• supported on iOS and Android devices
• seamless integration of streaming services and local files

Power and reliability:

• linear power supply design for stable performance
• integrated UPS system for safe shutdown during power loss
• reliable, integrated hardware and software ecosystem

What’s included:

• Aurender A15 network player
• power cable
• documentation

Note:

The A15 is designed for those who want high-end streaming performance without the complexity of separate components. With its built-in DAC, analogue outputs and flexible storage options, it can act as the central source component in a high-quality audio system.
