Aurender ACS10

No, the ACS10 is designed to replace the computer in your audio chain. It handles CD ripping, file storage, and library management directly, which you control via the Aurender Conductor app.

The ACS10 uses two internal hard drives configured in a RAID 1 array. This means your music is automatically mirrored across both drives, ensuring that if one drive fails, your data remains safe and accessible on the other.

Yes, the ACS10 is Roon Ready. It can function as your Roon Core, allowing you to integrate your local library with Roon’s interface and streaming services while maintaining high-fidelity audio output.

The built-in Ethernet switch allows you to connect other network-attached audio components directly to the ACS10. This helps isolate your audio network traffic and can simplify your cabling setup behind your rack.

The ACS10 copies your music files to an internal NVMe SSD cache before playback. By reading from the SSD rather than the mechanical hard drives, the system reduces electrical noise and jitter, resulting in a more stable and accurate audio signal.

The Aurender Conductor app is specifically optimized for the iPad. While it provides a comprehensive and intuitive interface for managing your library, you will need an iPad to access the full range of the ACS10's features.
