The Aurender N150 is the most accessible entry point to Aurender's range of music servers and streamers, designed for audiophiles upgrading from computer-based audio systems or budget streamers. It represents the latest iteration of the legendary N100H with several upgrades and improvements. The N150 features a low-power Intel dual-core CPU for quiet operation, a fully linear power supply with super-capacitor-based UPS for clean power delivery, and a dedicated USB Audio Class 2.0 output that is physically and electrically isolated from the CPU board to minimize noise and jitter. The device includes a high-contrast 3-inch AMOLED display showing track information, a machined aluminum chassis, and a user-installable storage tray for SSD or HDD. The N150 incorporates Aurender's caching playback engine with a 240GB NVMe SSD cache that loads music from storage before playback, eliminating latency and potential dropouts. It is controlled exclusively through the Aurender Conductor app available for iOS and Android devices. The N150 is designed to work exclusively with external USB DACs and does not include built-in analog outputs or DAC circuitry.
