{"product_id":"ard-a10sl-asa4a0166","title":"Aurender A10 Network Music Player","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe A10 is what Aurender built when they decided a serious music server shouldn't require a separate DAC. Four terabytes of internal storage, a 120GB SSD cache that loads your most-played library into solid state so playback never touches the spinning drive, and an AKM AK4490 dual-mono DAC stage with full MQA decoding built directly into the chassis. Balanced and unbalanced outputs. Volume control onboard — it will drive a power amplifier direct if that's the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Conductor app is the reason Aurender commands the loyalty it does. Library management, streaming integration, gapless playback, queue control — it works the way software for a $5,500 component should work, which is to say reliably and without requiring a workaround every third session. Stereophile called it \"the CD player of the 21st century.\" That framing holds: the A10 is the one-box answer for the listener who is done with spinning discs and wants something that handles the digital front end completely, at a level that doesn't become a weak link in a serious system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSilver finish. 4TB internal. The cleanest upgrade path from a Wadia, Krell, or Esoteric SACD spinner that exists on the used market right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(253, 183, 22);\"\u003e$5,500 MSRP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Aurender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46684852420745,"sku":"A10SL-ASA4A0166","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/a10copy3.png?v=1778643115","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/ard-a10sl-asa4a0166","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
