Aurender from South Korea has continued to improve in the field of streaming audio for many years, and this year is the 15th anniversary. In order to highlight this important day, Aurender broke through the pattern and launched a new flagship music server N50. It adopts a three-chassis architecture for the first time, and has a fever that exceeds the previous Aurender server products. Let’s learn about this Aurender N50 now.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of Aurender's establishment. The factory has launched heavyweight products. In addition to a globally limited edition of A1 15th Anniversary Edition, Aurender has launched a new top-level music server N50, and this one is a mass-produced product. As long as the agent introduces it, there is a chance to buy it.
N50 was developed for top-level streaming audio systems. Its biggest feature is that it adopts a three-chassis design, that is, divides a music server into three parts: server, power supply, and audio. In this way, each chassis can operate independently and can more completely suppress noise and mutual interference. At the same time, the N50 claims that its network terminals are independently set and have higher noise resistance and can provide purer network signals.
N50 is equipped with an Intel quad-core processor and 8GB of memory, and an 8.8-inch full-color IPS display screen on the front, which is convenient for users to operate and browse. The body is equipped with two 2.5-inch hard disk slots that can be installed by the user, and a 480GB NVMe SSD, which support system and cache functions respectively.
In addition to the ability to play music archives, N50 can also integrate mainstream streaming platforms, such as natively supporting TIDAL, Qobuz and Spotify, and also supporting Roon Ready, which can seamlessly integrate into Roon's streaming music system. Therefore, N50 can all be satisfied whether you prefer your Hi-Res music library or streaming platform's selected playlist. Therefore, N50 can actually be regarded as a streaming music player.

In order to create the best sound performance, the N50 has an accurate frequency design, which contains OCXO high-precision clock and is controlled by an exclusive FPGA chip, which can achieve extremely low time base errors and create highly stable digital audio processing capabilities. If you want to use a more advanced clock in the future, the N50 also supports external clocks, which can further improve frequency accuracy and create a streaming system with better sound quality performance. The power supply part is the focus of the N50. Its independent power supply chassis is equipped with two highly selected toroidal transformers with high inductance values. Each transformer is vacuum packaged and filled with epoxy resin in a polished stainless steel case, which can ensure maximum noise isolation and create optimal durability. In addition, the N50's power system also adopts a multi-layer AC and DC filtering design, which can further eliminate power supply noise and lay a solid foundation for pure sound quality. It is rare for a server's power system to achieve this level.

In the connection interface part, N50 continues the Aurender factory's well-received digital audio interface system and provides a variety of output options, which can flexibly correspond to various advanced systems, including: I2S output, MSB ProISL interface, dual AES/EBU output, and a newly designed USB output, which claims to effectively reduce time base error and noise. Under this design, the Aurender N50 is different from the common music servers, but is a high-level display of sound engineering technology. It is believed that it can bring excellent streaming music performance to top-level sound systems.
