The Utility Player – CD Ripping and Library Management

Automatic CD Ripping / Library Management / Metadata Editing Central Server Hub for Library Expansion and Multi-Room Systems, 2x Slots for User-Installable 2.5″ HDD or SSD Drive, Digital Output Network Transport



The Multi-Talented Utility Player

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.



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.

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.

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.

 

 


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.

Nimbie Auto-Loader Compatibility

For large CD archival projects, connect an Acronova Nimbie Auto Loader (sold separately) for automated batch ripping.

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.

 

 

REVIEW & AWARDS

Aurender A100 Music Server Reviewed - Read More

"Is it the last word in detail or soundstaging? No, but you'd have to spend a lot more money to obtain those goals. With its volume control and its ability to interface with a an external USB drive, Compact Disc player, DVD player, or TV, it's more than capable of becoming the hub of all but the most zealous music enthusiast's modern-day, two-channel home entertainment system, bringing loads of musical enjoyment as well as pride of ownership."
