ACS10 stands out not only as a stand-alone Digital Transport with the same filtered & isolated USB audio output as high-end Aurender models but also features the ACS Manager app for advanced library management via iPad or Android tablets.
Equipped with a CD-ROM drive and a reference-quality CD Ripping engine, ACS10 produces top-notch files in FLAC, WAV, or AIFF codecs from your CDs, with automatic metadata retrieval and editable options.
Designed for music collectors with extensive libraries or multiple high-end systems, ACS10 serves as a Central Server Hub for other Aurender players. Its network connectivity allows flexible placement in your main audio system or a separate location, making it a versatile and powerful addition to your setup.

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. | Massive Built-In Storage CapacityACS10 ships standard in a 2 x 8TB RAID1 configuration, where the 2 HDDs are set up as mirror images of one another in case of drive failure. However, if you require more capacity, ACS can be easily reconfigured to make use of the full capacity of both drives. Need even more storage? Special order ACS10 with up to 2 x 14 TB HDDs! |
Aurender’s Dedicated USB Audio OutputUSB is historically prone to transferring noise between devices. That’s why Aurender’s dedicated USB Audio output is physically and electrically isolated from the noise-generating CPU board to minimize noise in the sensitive audio interconnect.
| Auto-Loader CompatibilityFor large CD archival projects, connect an Acronova Nimbie Auto Loader (sold separately) for automated batch ripping. |
Audio Grade Linear Power Supply with UPSClean power is the single most important factor in enjoying your favorite music with the highest fidelity from a digital source component. ACS10features a fully linear power supply block for a low noise floor, allowing the nuances and detail of your music to sing out. Super Capacitor UPS system protects your Aurender in case of abrupt loss of power. | Future-Proofed Processing PowerThe ACS system incorporates significant processing power and system memory designed to maximize headroom for expanded functionality now and in the future. |
