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.

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.
