High-End Performance Meets Everyday Convenience

The Aurender A1000 was created for music enthusiasts seeking audiophile-grade sound without the complexity of multiple separate components. At its core is a dual-mono AKM4490REQ DAC implementation paired with a dedicated quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor and carefully engineered low-noise linear power supplies.

Unlike generic streaming devices, the A1000 utilizes Aurender's purpose-built hardware and software platform optimized exclusively for music playback. The result is improved signal integrity, lower noise, greater reliability, and a listening experience that captures every detail, texture, and emotion within your music collection.

Built for Streaming and Local Music Libraries

The A1000 supports a wide range of music sources and playback methods. Stream directly from popular services, browse music stored on a NAS drive, or install an internal SSD or HDD to create a dedicated high-performance music server.

A user-installable storage bay supports up to 8TB of internal storage, while Aurender's 120GB NVMe caching drive improves playback stability and responsiveness by reducing drive activity during listening sessions.

Whether your library consists of CD-quality albums, high-resolution PCM recordings, or DSD files, the A1000 provides a refined and intuitive music experience.

A Flexible Hub for Your Entire Audio System

More than a music streamer, the A1000 functions as a complete digital control center for your audio system.

HDMI ARC connectivity allows direct connection to modern televisions, making it easy to enjoy movies, concerts, and streaming content with significantly improved sound quality. Optical, coaxial, and USB inputs provide compatibility with additional digital sources such as CD transports, media players, and gaming systems.

Variable output mode allows the A1000 to connect directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers, while fixed output mode enables seamless integration with a dedicated preamplifier.

Aurender's award-winning Conductor application provides intuitive access to your music collection, streaming services, playlists, and playback controls.

Designed specifically for serious music lovers, the app offers a fast, stable, and visually engaging interface that simplifies music discovery while maintaining the premium experience expected from a reference-quality audio component.
