Aurender N10

摘要

For those of us storing music on computers, there's no shortage of alternatives to the PC or laptop hard-disk: take your pick from USB drives, network attached storage (NAS) devices and even dedicated music servers, connected directly to the audio system or 'plumbed in' to the home network. The 'dedicated' market currently offers everything from the likes of the Cocktail Audio/Novafidelity range, combining ripping with playback and network capabilities in one unit, through to the Melco servers [HFN Feb '15 and Aug '15], able to deliver not only network music but also direct connectivity to USB audio DACs. Here Aurender offers a third path, in the form of the upmarket N10 model, distributed by dCS and selling for £7099.
