The South Korean digital audio specialist brand Aurender has announced the new ‘NH10,’ an audiophile-grade network hub designed to maximize the sound quality of music streaming.
Designed from the Ground Up for Audio
Unlike general-purpose IT-grade network hubs, the NH10 is a product developed from scratch for pure audio applications, incorporating the technology and attention to detail that Aurender has cultivated in its reference music servers. It aims to achieve exceptional accuracy and musical impact by integrating clean power delivery, precise clocking, and advanced noise suppression technology.
Key Features
- Noise Minimization: Addresses the jitter and electrical noise caused by ordinary hubs, protecting the subtle details and timing accuracy of recordings.
- OCXO Clock: Equipped with an Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO), which is significantly more precise than a typical TCXO. All internal operations are synchronized to this master clock.
- External Clock Input: Also features a 10MHz external reference clock input for even greater precision.
- Linear Power Supply: Employs a linear power supply for all circuits, providing extremely clean current and eliminating high-frequency interference.
- Port Isolation: All RJ-45 and optical SFP ports are individually isolated to prevent unwanted noise from reaching the DAC or streamer.
- Robust Aluminum Case: The sturdy aluminum case acts as a shield against external interference.
According to Aurender, the use of the NH10 results in a smoother, more natural sound, a reduction in harshness and glare, a wider and more defined soundstage, and a more emotionally engaging musical experience.
Pricing and Availability
The Aurender NH10 is scheduled to begin shipping worldwide on November 10, 2025. It is priced from $3,900 and is available in silver and black.
For audiophiles who want to fundamentally review the sound quality of their network audio, the NH10 will be a product of great interest.
