High-End sound, lifestyle convenience

Ultra High-Performance Analog Output Network Player with Dual-Mono MQA Full-Decoder DAC, RCA + Balanced XLR Analog Outputs

Elegant Simplicity

The revolutionary A10 changed the paradigm for Aurender by introducing our first music server/streamer with a built-in DAC. A15 is the upgraded replacement of A10, featuring many new features and audible improvements.

And, while it’s a true high performance all-in-one Digital Source Component, it is priced to be highly competitive with comparable separate DAC & Transport setups. A15 is performance-packed with balanced analog outputs and a resolving dual-mono AKM4490 digital-to-analog convertor with MQA full-decoder technology. As with all of Aurender’s “A” series, A15 is designed to take full advantage of the vast selection of MQA encoded music available today. It also has two rear panel bays which can accommodate user-installable 2.5″ HDDs or SSDs of up to 8TB each to store the largest of music libraries. An elegant front panel display shows album cover art along with artist name and song title in living color.

A15 is a great choice for the devoted audiophile replacing an aging CD player, laptop or just for wanting the inherent simplicity of a great sounding one-box source component.

Key Features

Dual Mono MQA Full-Decoder DAC

At the heart of A15 is a dual-mono configuration of the exquisite AKM4490 DAC chipset. With a resolved, smooth sonic signature that is free of etched “digital” harshness, A15 is a source of musical purity in any system. In addition to delivering the highest possible audio performance that the MQA process offers, A15’s built-in DAC also decodes PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz, and DSD up to DSD512.

Linear Power Supply with Integrated UPS

In sensitive digital source components, the power supply plays a critical role in the overall sonic presentation. A15’s fully-linear power supply structure incorporates four audiophile-grade toroidal transformers, along with advanced shielding and isolation, to prevent noise from being introduced to the signal path at this stage.

User-Installable Storage Options

A15 is built with two trays for user-installable storage. Need a lot of capacity? Load up to 2 8TB SSDs! Not into storing files and prefer to stream? Leave them empty, and don’t pay for storage capacity you won’t use.

FPGA-Based Precision Clock

A high-precision clock generation system incorporating Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) runs A15’s DAC section. An extremely accurate sub 100fs clock generator precisely times the digital audio data transmission to reduce jitter well below negligible levels.

Variable Output XLR & RCA Outputs

A15’s high quality Balanced (XLR) and Unbalanced (RCA) outputs guarantee compatibility with any preamp, integrated amp, or even power amps! DAC-level lossless volume control enables A15 to function as a preamp when connected directly to a power amplifier.

Digital Connectivity

Coaxial and Optical digital inputs are included for the connection of additional digital sources such as a CD transport, TV, etc. Any device connected this way will take full advantage of the superior sound quality of the DAC within the A15.

Why Choose Aurender

Aurender is a South Korean digital audio manufacturer widely regarded as one of the benchmark brands in high-end music server and streaming playback. Unlike many products that simply add streaming functionality to existing digital platforms, Aurender systems are purpose-built from the ground up as dedicated music servers designed specifically for serious audio performance, long-term reliability, and seamless library management.

What makes Aurender particularly distinctive is the company’s singular focus on minimising noise, preserving signal integrity, and creating a highly stable digital playback environment. Every aspect of the platform — from internal power supply architecture through to storage management and data handling — is engineered specifically for audio playback rather than general-purpose computing. The result is a presentation that feels exceptionally refined, natural, and free from the harshness or instability that can affect lesser digital systems.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Aurender products consistently impress through their combination of sonic performance, software maturity, and long-term ownership experience. These are not simply streamers — they are highly sophisticated music management and playback systems designed for listeners who take digital audio seriously.

Signature Design and Sound

Aurender products are engineered around a dedicated server-first philosophy. Rather than functioning as conventional streamers that also happen to store music, Aurender systems are designed primarily as high-performance music servers with integrated streaming capability. This architecture allows far greater control over noise management, storage integrity, playback stability, and data handling throughout the playback chain.

One of the key technologies within Aurender products is their solid-state memory cache system. Music is first loaded into high-speed cache memory before playback occurs, reducing reliance on spinning drives or network activity during listening and helping minimise timing irregularities and jitter within the digital signal path. This contributes to the remarkably smooth, stable, and analogue-like presentation Aurender products are known for.

Aurender also places enormous emphasis on power supply implementation and system stability. Carefully designed low-noise linear DC power supplies are used throughout the range, while integrated UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) protection systems help safely manage shutdown procedures and protect stored music data in the event of unexpected power loss.

The substantial aluminium chassis designs incorporate resonance control, electrical shielding, and beautifully integrated high-resolution OLED displays that elevate the overall ownership experience while remaining functional and elegant within high-end systems. Many Aurender models also support internal SSD storage expansion, allowing customers to build extensive local music libraries directly within the server platform itself.

Another major strength of the Aurender ecosystem is the proprietary Aurender App, regarded as one of the most polished and stable music management platforms available in high-end audio. The app allows users to manage streaming services, local libraries, metadata, playlists, and music organisation intuitively while even enabling real-time editing and management of music libraries during playback. Behind the platform sits a dedicated engineering team of more than 28 full-time software and hardware specialists focused entirely on maintaining system stability, functionality, and long-term platform development.

Aurender Product Range

The Aurender range includes dedicated music servers, streamer/server combinations, digital transports, and high-performance playback platforms designed to suit everything from compact streaming systems through to world-class reference audio installations. Products are available across multiple performance levels, allowing customers to progressively scale storage capacity, processing power, power supply sophistication, and digital output performance as systems evolve.

Aurender products are particularly appealing for listeners seeking a highly stable, beautifully integrated, and purpose-built digital playback ecosystem capable of managing extensive music libraries while delivering exceptional sonic refinement and long-term reliability.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced system setup team provide assistance with library migration, SSD installation, network integration, digital system matching, and full Aurender configuration to ensure customers achieve the best possible performance and usability from their music server systems.
