Aurender AP20 - Integrated amplifier with streaming, DAC and music server in one solution

The Aurender AP20 is designed for music lovers who want a complete high-end system without filling their setup with multiple separate components. Here, you get a music server, streamer, DAC, preamplifier and power amplifier combined in a single unit – built with the same focus on signal purity and ease of use that has made Aurender one of the most respected names in digital audio.

The result is a solution where hardware, software and power supply are developed as one complete whole. This provides a musical experience with a rare degree of calm, control and coherence that can often be difficult to achieve with several separate components.

Power and control with Purifi amplification

The amplifier section uses Purifi Eigentakt modules in a dual-mono configuration. The design delivers high power with very low distortion and maintains control – even when the speakers place heavy demands on it.

Purifi technology is known for its ability to disappear from the equation and let the recording speak for itself. The result is playback with headroom, stability and natural authority, where details and nuances are given room to emerge without sounding intrusive.

DAC and volume control developed for serious music listening

At the core of the AP20 is a dual-mono DAC design with AKM4497 DAC chips. Together with the analog R2R volume control, this creates a signal path that preserves the music’s natural character without adding unnecessary harshness or noise.

The focus is not on impressing at first listen. Instead, the AP20 works with a natural tonal balance and a calm background that makes it easier to follow voices, instruments and the small details in the recording over longer periods of time.

Power supply without compromise

Where many integrated Class D amplifiers use switch-mode power supplies, Aurender has chosen a fully linear design with six separate toroidal transformers.

This is a more ambitious solution that provides optimal working conditions for the sensitive audio circuits. At the same time, it contributes to the stable and relaxed playback that has become a hallmark of Aurender’s most advanced products.

Streaming, music library and analog sources

AP20 provides access to streaming services and local music playback via the Aurender Conductor platform. At the same time, you can install your own SSD or HDD drives and build an extensive music library directly in the unit.

For many music lovers, this is exactly where the AP20 stands out. It brings together the functions that normally require several separate components, without compromising its sonic ambitions.

Vinyl enthusiasts can connect an external phono stage via the analog inputs and keep the signal in analog form all the way through the amplifier.

Developed for both current and future systems

AP20 features both analog and digital inputs as well as a balanced XLR output for, for example, active subwoofers. In addition, it supports an external master clock via a 10 MHz clock input for users who want to optimize the system even further.

This makes the AP20 a flexible centerpiece in both current and future high-end setups, where the demands for both sound quality and functionality can evolve over time.

Elegant design with a focus on ease of use

The chassis is made from solid aluminum and combines high build quality with a simple, timeless design. The large 8.8” IPS display provides a clear overview of music and system information, while the Aurender Conductor app brings control of streaming and the music library together in one platform.

AP20 is designed for those who want serious sound quality without the complexity of a traditional separates system. A solution where the focus shifts from equipment to music.
