N150: USB Audio Connectivity Gets Its Groove On
USB Audio connectivity has come a long way since the bad old days. At this point, most DAC manufacturers have engineered their USB Audio inputs for extremely high-performance playback. If all you need is USB, N150 delivers very nearly the best USB audio output that Aurender has to offer, in a tidy, affordable package.
Linear Supply for Top-Notch Audio Fidelity
Clean power is the single most important factor in enjoying your favorite music with the highest fidelity from a digital source component. N150 features a fully linear power supply block for a low noise floor.
Aurender's Isolated Audio Output Magic
USB 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.
