Aurender
Conductor App Packed with
Convenient Features for
Full-Function Control
The Aurender Conductor App
turns the iPad into a versatile
user interface for Aurender
music servers. All settings and
functions of the Aurender server
can be easily accessed through
the Settings menu, and the app
comes with extensive features to
make browsing and playing high
resolution music collections a
breeze.
ACS Manager Companion App
ACS10 is so packed with
features, we had to give it its
very own app! The ACS Manager
companion app is used to
configure all system settings
including CD ripping preferences,
Smart Copy, Move, Delete,
Duplicate Checker, Smart Tag
Editor, and more.
State-of-the-Art Automatic CD
Ripping
Aurender’s CD ripping software,
which is custom engineered to
work with the high-quality TEAC
CD-ROM drive, yields shockingly
good CD rips! Sophisticated
error detection and correction
ensures accurate rips for great
sounding results.
Dedicated USB Audio Output Port
High-performance USB Audio Class
2.0 output allows ACS10 to
function as a music server /
streamer when connected to an
external DAC. ACS10’s USB audio
output quality is equivalent to
N10’s USB audio output.
Massive HDD Storage Capacity for
the Largest Music Libraries
ACS10 is available in two
different dual hard drive
configurations to provide enough
storage for even the largest
digital music libraries. 16TB or
24TB versions are factory
configured in RAID 1 mirroring
meaning your actual music
library storage capacity is half
that, with the other half a
mirrored image on a second
drive. ACS10 can be user
reconfigured to disregard
mirroring and provide 16TB or
24TB total storage respective of
model.
Linear Power Supply with
Integrated UPS
Full-linear power supply plus
“super capacitor” based
uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) for stabilizing the ACS10
under an abrupt power outage
condition.
Support for High-Resolution
Formats
All major codecs supported. PCM
up to 786kHz/32-bit. DSD up to
256 DoP. Native DSD up to 512.
MQA Core Decoder (optional
in-app purchase)
Aurender’s optional MQA Core
Decoder upgrade enables
“first-level” MQA unfolding to
play MQA files at up to 48 or 96
kHz.
2X Isolated LAN Port
ACS10 features 3 LAN ports, so
it can be used as an Ethernet
switch. One of three LAN Ports
is 2X isolated – use this 2X
isolated LAN port to connect to
another Aurender server/player
to isolate the server/player
from any noise introduced by the
LAN connection. If using ACS10
as a stand alone server, use the
2X isolated LAN to connect
directly to the router.
USB Connectivity
ACS10 features a USB 3.0 port
for super fast copying from a
USB hard drive. It also features
a front-mounted USB 2.0 port (for
connecting a Acronova Nimbie
AutoLoader) and a filtered and
isolated USB Audio 2.0 port
dedicated for pristine audio.

application for easily
correcting metadata or
modifying to suit your own
sorting requirements
-
Support
for using ACS10 as central
library storage in addition
to, or instead of, another
Aurender music server’s
internal storage.
-
ACS10’s
SmartMerge will identify a
network attached
W20/N10/A10/N100H/N100C or
X100L and allow user to see
content from both libraries
combined into one. (Note:
SmartMerge can only be used
1+1, one ACS10 and one
Aurender music server).
Additionally, the Copy,
Move, Delete and Duplicate
Checker utility allows
unprecedented control of
your digital music library’s
organization.
-
File
storage is on dual 3.5” HDDs.
Available factory fitted in
a RAID 1 (Mirroring)
configuration. Two models
are available 8TB x 2 or
12TB x 2. User can change
the RAID 1 factory setting
making the ACS10 capable of
total storage capacity of
16TB or 24TB.
Rafe
Arnott, AudioStream: “Aurender
Wants to Kill Your Computer”
The Aurender ACS10 is a device
designed to completely remove
the computer from “computer
audio.” This has always been
Aurender’s mission, but, until
now, a computer was still
required for CD ripping, file
management, and metadata editing.
No longer! With ACS10, computers
and other IT products are not
needed in your digital music
life. Its core functions
encompass everything an
audiophile needs and expects
from a file-based playback
system. All functionality is
consolidated within the ACS10
with attention given to the
simplification of the tasks at
hand. ACS10 can be used as a
fully-functional server and
streamer delivering pristine
digital output via an Aurender’s
filtered and isolated USB 2.0
audio port. However, the highest
audio performance is realized
when using the ACS10 mated with
models A10, N10 or W20, where
its CD ripping, library
management, 2X isolated LAN
port, and powerful processor
will greatly enhance the
Aurender experience. For
Aurender users seeking to add
the functions of CD ripping,
expanded storage and backup and
metadata editing the ACS10 is
the ideal companion. Customers
seeking that same functionality
in a stand alone one box server
/ streamer solution can use
ACS10 in that way as well.
