Aurender W20SE Battery-powered cached Music Server

Aurender W20SE Music Server

The Aurender W20SE is a reference-level digital output network transport designed for the world’s finest HiFi systems. Building on the legacy of the original W20, this Special Edition refines performance further with lower noise, improved clocking and a unique battery power supply for exceptional signal purity.

Designed for ultimate transparency and musical realism, the W20SE delivers a relaxed, detailed and highly natural presentation.

Key features:

• battery-powered digital output network transport
• LiFePO4 battery power supply for ultra-low noise
• OCXO clock-controlled digital outputs
• dual-wire AES/EBU output for high-resolution playback
• master clock input (word clock compatible)
• multiple outputs: USB, AES/EBU, coaxial, BNC, optical
• internal SSD storage options (4TB, 8TB, 16TB)
• Aurender Conductor app control

Design and performance:

The W20SE is designed to eliminate noise at its source. Its LiFePO4 battery power supply removes AC noise entirely, creating an extremely quiet background from which music can emerge with clarity and depth.

The result is a smooth, natural sound with strong dynamics, accurate timing and a high level of detail without harshness or digital glare.

OCXO clocking ensures precise timing of digital signals, improving coherence, imaging and overall musical realism.

Noise and jitter reduction:

• battery power supply eliminates AC noise
• OCXO clock minimises jitter and timing errors
• dedicated digital output architecture
• optional external master clock support for further accuracy

This combination allows the W20SE to deliver a stable, highly refined signal with excellent tonal balance and resolution.

Connectivity:

• USB Audio output
• dual AES/EBU output (dual-wire capable)
• coaxial SPDIF output
• BNC output
• Toslink optical output
• word / master clock input (75Ω BNC)

Storage:

• configurable internal SSD storage
• available in 4TB, 8TB or 16TB options
• designed for large high-resolution music libraries

Technical highlights:

• PCM upsampling up to 176.4 / 192 kHz (SPDIF outputs)
• up to 384 kHz via dual-wire AES/EBU
• USB output remains bit-perfect
• FPGA-based DSD-to-PCM conversion for non-USB outputs
• extremely low noise floor and high dynamic range

Control and usability:

• Aurender Conductor app for full system control
• supports iOS and Android devices
• access to local library and streaming services
• stable, integrated hardware and software platform

What’s included:

• Aurender W20SE music server
