Aurender A15 - High-End Audio Streaming and Serving

Immerse yourself in a musical experience like never before with Aurender's A15, the future of high-end audio streaming and serving. Forging a lasting impression on digital music technology following our lauded A10 model, Aurender now elevates the audio landscape with the advent of the A15—a music server/streamer/DAC that leverages state-of-the-art features and remarkable enhancements in audio quality to deliver a listening experience that rivals live performances.

Through its innovative design, the A15 expertly consolidates the functions of a dedicated streamer and standalone DAC, eliminating the opacity and high costs associated with conventional system setups. Its heart— a high-performance, dual-mono AKM4490 DAC integrated with MQA full-decoder technology— allows smooth and detailed audio translation, supported further by balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analogue outputs. The A15 also features two rear panel bays for easy installation of 2.5" HDDs or SSDs, enabling mass storage of your music library. Its vibrant full-colour front panel encapsulates the essence of your melodies via vivid album art display, further enhancing the user's connection with the music.

Features:

  1. Dual-Mono MQA Full-Decoder DAC: The A15 boasts a dual-mono layout of the recognized AKM4490 DAC chipset, refining audio performance, channel separation, dynamics, and noise floor reduction for optimal sound quality.

  2. FPGA-Based Precision Clock: The device incorporates a highly precise clock generation system that considerably lowers jitter levels, ensuring flawless digital audio data transmission.

  3. Linear Power Supply: The A15's fully-linear power supply includes four high-quality toroidal transformers and advanced shielding and isolation to prevent noise interference.

  4. Versatile Connectivity: The A15 can function as a sound source or a preamplifier, making it both adaptable and straightforward to use. It can be connected directly to a power amplifier or an active speaker system.

  5. Flexible Digital Inputs / Output: The device comes with both a coaxial (RCA) and an optical (TosLink) digital input for maximum flexibility and improved audio fidelity.

  6. High-Resolution Streaming and File-Based Content: The A15 supports all widely-used file formats like DSD, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, ALAC, M4A, APE, and MP3, ensuring none of your favourite tunes get left out.

  7. Adaptive File Library Storage: The device comes with two user-accessible storage bays that can accommodate both SSDs and traditional HDDs, offering up to 16TB of storage space.

  8. Cache-based Playback: All playback happens from an internal solid-state cache, curbing possible electrical and acoustic noise and enhancing the overall audio performance.

  9. Convenient Control through Conductor App: The Aurender Conductor App gives you complete control over all your Aurender devices.

Benefits:

  1. Top-Notch Audio Quality: The dual-mono MQA Full-Decoder DAC offers smooth and rich audio quality, rivalling live performances.

  2. Minimized Jitter: The FPGA-Based Precision Clock helps in minimizing jitter below negligible levels, leading to flawless digital audio.

  3. Clean Audio Playback: The device's linear power supply helps in noise elimination, which can be a major disruption in the audio pathway.

  4. Simplified Matching: The A15’s versatile connectivity removes the stress of pairing and compatibility, shortening your system setup time.

  5. Enhanced Audio Fidelity: The RCCA and TosLink digital inputs allow added sources to be connected to the A15, enhancing audio quality.

  6. Wide-Range Compatibility: Its support for all common audio file formats assures no hassles when attempting to play your favourite music.

  7. Tailored Storage: With adaptive file library storage, the user can select the type and capacity of storage they need best.

  8. Optimal Performance: Cache-based playback means less wear and tear on internal storage drives and better audio performance.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.

It does have a lovely warm presentation that is not overly analytical. It is in no way a "purist" amplifier, but what it does have is a bit of boost in the lower frequencies, giving it more 'presence' and making it ideal for lower-level listening (as I do), but it also loves some juice if you are that way inclined. The built in DAC is also excellent, making it extremely versatile. It is very well built and solid. Overall an excellent choice for music lovers, more than nit-picking "audiophiles" - this isn't to say it sounds bad, in fact it will only add to your enjoyment of music. The choice of options for the front display is also a nice touch - either "analogue" style or digital V.U. meters, for example (or other options). Note: I don't know what product a previous reviewer is confusing this 7000a with, but it does indeed have "volume and source knobs", as well as a MC phono input (although I didn't get a chance to use it).
