Mike sent me a box? A heavy box!
What could it be?
Opening the big heavy box reveals yet another box. Is this some kind of joke or something just very well packed?
Oh, the clear blue printed tape says "Aurender"!
Let’s see what’s inside:
What another smaller box?
What’s inside the smaller box?
Cables!!! (it's nice that Aurender supplies cables, but I use Shunyata)
What's in the bigger box?
Whatever it is, it's wrapped in fabric and lots and lots of heavy-duty foam! Amazing packing job.
It’s huge. What is it?
An Aurender ACS10 - CD Ripper and Streamer!!!
The N100 was connected to the ACS10 with a Shunyata ethernet cable. The N100 streaming improved slightly, but noticeably!
The N100 is on top of the Pass Labs HPA-1 Headphone Amp (protected by carbon fiber pad).
"No" the Class A HPA-1 doesn't get hot (and sounds absolutely marvelous).
Just began ripping the eighth CD. Simple as calling Mike :hey: ejecting tray with button, placing a CD in tray, and closing tray with button. Aurender does the rest, including the album covers, and ejecting CD when it's finished, etc. So, simple even I can use it.
Overall construction: Very heavy. Nice silver finish. The CD tray is not near as good as the Luxman D-08u, but Luxman is difficult to beat in the CD / SACD / DAC department. The Luxman essentially turns CDs into vinyl and plays them so very well (no flame throwers please
). The Aurender has a great and very large colorful display (larger than N100). Fantastic color Album covers. Rips CDs very well. It plays fantastic!!!
I'm a ripping and I'm a playing.

Thanks Mike.
