Aurender ACS100 Music Server / Streamer / CD Ripper

Aurender ACS100 Music Streamer Product Description:

The Multi-Talented Utility Player

The ACS100 offers a sensible solution to add CD Ripping, Library Management, and Central Server functionality to any Aurender system. Conceived as an accessory upgrade or add-on, ACS100 includes all the utility of ACS10 in a simpler package.

ACS100 uses a less expensive external switch-mode power supply instead of a linear power supply. It also omits the dedicated filtered & isolated USB audio output since its highest and best use is as a stand-alone Central Server.

Therefore, it is the ideal add-on companion to A200, A15, A20, N20, W20SE and N30SA. And, while adding valuable functionality to another Aurender, ACS100 can simultaneously be used as a source component for a second system.

Cost-Effective Approach

The ACS100 was developed to be a more cost-effective version of the ACS10, offering many of the same functions as the ACS10. The ACS100 quite simply delivers much more than other competitive brands in its price class.
As a music server/streamer, the ACS100 enjoys operational control via Aurender Conductor for both iPad tablets and Android devices. All the features you’d expect from Aurender, like clutter-free direct access to your music as well as app-embedded Tidal and Qobuz subscription streaming services, Spotify Connect, internet radio, MQA Core decoding (optional), CD ripping, and advanced metadata editing and library management

Aurender ACS100 Key Features:

• Reference Quality Automatic CD Ripping—ACS is for the music lover looking to convert a collection of CDs to a file-based format in the highest quality available. Enjoy lossless, error-corrected CD rips using ACS’s TEAC optical drive and customized audiophile CD ripping engine.
• Central Server Hub—Do you have more than one system in your home? Think of ACS as your musical “mothership” where your music library lives. Other Aurender systems on your network can stream your library from ACS seamlessly. With ACS handling the content storage/server tasks, your other systems run nice and light for superior audio performance.
• Nimbie Auto-Loader Compatibility—For large CD archival projects, connect an Acronova Nimbie Auto Loader (sold separately) for automated batch ripping.
• Metadata Editing and Library Management—Like any precious collection, Music Libraries need curation. The dedicated ACS Manager app allows the user to manage, catalog, and groom a vast library for easy access. Browse your library with pride again.
• User-Installable Storage Options—ACS100 is built with two trays for user-installable storage. Install up to two 8TB SSDs for 16TB of internal storage capacity! This is enough to accommodate even the largest music libraries.
• Future-Proofed Processing Power—The ACS system incorporates significant processing power and system memory designed to maximize headroom for expanded functionality now and in the future.
