Description
Aurender N10 : Streamer
The Aurender N10 Reference-Class Music Server / Streamer by Aurender represents a state-of-the art implementation of these protocols with its OCXO controlled SPDIF outputs – use them and discover a higher standard than USB.
When computer audio first started to gain popularity, USB was the de-facto standard for the digital audio signal transport – simply because computers have USB ports, not AES/EBU or other SPDIF ports.
Unfortunately, USB can be a flawed protocol for digital audio transmission as it is prone to noise, jitter, and compatibility issues.
Done properly, AES/EBU and SPDIF audio outputs represent a superior method of audio transmission with nearly universal compatibility, less jitter, and greater ease and flow to the overall musical presentation.
