Aurender A1000 Can Double as a Preamplifier, Includes HDMI ARC Input Plus Variable and Fixed Output Options: Robust Connectivity and Across-the-Board Versatility Define This Dynamic-Sounding Music Server/Streamer
Get renowned Aurender streaming performance, robust connectivity, variable and fixed output options, excellent control, and audiophile-grade build quality for a fraction of the cost of most of the company's devices with the A1000 network streamer/server. Featuring single-ended analog outputs, a DAC-level lossless volume control, HDMI ARC input, USB and coaxial inputs/outputs, and a slot for an optional 8TV SSD drive, A1000 exudes versatility and convenience.
Able to connect to an amplification source, digital sources, and HDMI-equipped TV, A1000 can serve as a preamplifier — or, simply as a fixed-output plug-and-play component. No matter how you employ it, A1000 gives you on-tap high-resolution music (up to 32-bit/768KHx and native DSD512) from your favorite services. A brilliant-sounding AKM 4490REQ dual-mono DAC chip and Quad-core 2.0GHz ARM Cortex-A55 CPU — each fueled by their own linear power supply -- translate to playback marked by rich, smooth, detailed character and fast responsiveness.
On the outside, the 3.8 x 13.8 x 14-inch (HWD) A1000 comes shrouded in an elegant machined-aluminum chassis that accommodates a full-color 6.9-inch LCD display. In addition to a full-featured remote control and piloting via Aurender's award-winning Conductor app, A1000 lets you wirelessly cast Bluetooth aptX HD and Chromecast audio from a wide variety of mobile devices. Aurender has never packed this much flexibility into a player for such a reasonable price.
