Aurender ACS100 Music Server
The Aurender ACS100 is a compact and more affordable music server, CD ripper and library management system designed to expand or complement an existing Aurender setup. It delivers the core functionality of the ACS10 in a simplified form, making it an ideal solution for users looking to digitise their CD collection and manage music libraries without a computer.
Designed as a central hub for library expansion and multi-room systems, the ACS100 provides streamlined control and integration within the Aurender ecosystem.
Key features:
• music server, streamer and CD ripper
• automatic CD ripping with metadata and cover art retrieval
• central server hub for library expansion
• 2 × user-installable 2.5" HDD or SSD bays
• up to 8TB total storage capacity
• Aurender Conductor app control (iPad and Android)
• built-in streaming support (TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, internet radio)
• metadata editing and library management tools
• optional MQA Core decoding
• compact design
Design and performance:
The ACS100 is designed to simplify digital music management while maintaining high performance. It allows one-touch CD ripping and full library organisation without requiring a separate computer.
Unlike the ACS10, the ACS100 uses an external switch-mode power supply and is optimised primarily as a central server rather than a high-end USB audio source. It can, however, still function as a standalone streamer feeding a USB DAC.
The slot-loading CD mechanism provides a simple and durable ripping solution, while the system integrates seamlessly with other Aurender products.
Storage and library management:
• 2 × swappable 2.5" drive bays
• supports HDD or SSD up to 4TB each (8TB total)
• easy drive swapping or library separation by genre
• full metadata editing and organisation via app
• supports FLAC, WAV and AIFF formats
Connectivity:
• 1 × Ethernet network connection
• 1 × USB 2.0 port
• 1 × USB 3.0 port
• USB output for connection to external DAC
Technical highlights:
• compact and efficient server architecture
• designed for integration with Aurender systems
• optional upgrade to external linear power supply
• supports high resolution streaming formats
• USB playback direct from internal storage
Apps and control:
• Aurender Conductor app for playback, streaming and system control
• full access to streaming services and local library
• intuitive interface for browsing and playback
What’s included:

Note:
The ACS100 is best used as a central server companion to models such as A200, A15, A20, N20, W20SE and N30SA, but can also function as a standalone server and streamer. It offers a simple and effective way to add CD ripping and library management to any Aurender system.
