About the S10

The Aurender S10 is a premium music server designed for audiophiles seeking the highest sound quality from digital sources. It features a robust aluminum chassis with a silent, fan-less design and weighs approximately 14 kg. The unit includes a 2TB hard drive for music storage and a 64GB solid-state drive cache to minimize jitter by reading music files from the SSD during playback. It supports a wide range of audio formats including AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, MP4, M4A, and APE, with resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz. The S10 uses an Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) clock for extreme timing precision, reducing jitter significantly. It offers multiple digital outputs: AES/EBU, coaxial, optical, and USB Audio Class 2.0, and connects via Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 ports. Control is primarily via a dedicated iPad app, which provides an intuitive interface for managing playlists and settings. The front panel includes two AMOLED displays showing track information or level meters, and physical buttons for basic playback control. The S10 is regarded as a benchmark digital transport/server with build quality and sonic performance that justify its premium price point around .
