Enjoy this fantastic streamer from aune. Just install the aune ieast app to your phone and away you go, competes easily with the wiim range of products.
The new Aune Evo N5 is a network player based on an architecture that favours signal processing using top quality audiophile components. It features an ES9039Q2M DAC chip, an NXP Cortex-M7 processor, an Intel FPGA and a Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth chip, as well as FIFO technology and a dual PLL internal clock for optimised jitter management
It supports sampling rates up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512, as well as advanced Bluetooth codecs such as aptX-HD and LDAC, enabling you to enjoy the best audio files available via streaming or your local library.
The aune N5 is compatible with numerous network protocols and streaming platforms: Airplay 2, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music and more. Its extensive connectivity also makes it an excellent device for transforming your Hi-Fi system into a connected Hi-Fi system.
Key Features
High‑Resolution Audio Support
Analog output: PCM up to 32‑bit/768 kHz, DSD up to DSD512.
Digital outputs (coaxial/optical): PCM to 24‑bit/192 kHz; I²S: up to 32‑bit/384 kHz or DSD256.
Premium Processing Components
ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M DAC, NXP Cortex‑M7 processor, and Intel FPGA.
FIFO buffer and dual-PLL for ultra-low jitter and clean signal path.
Codec & Streaming Support
Bluetooth 5.1: aptX‑HD, LDAC (up to ~990 kbps).
Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz): compatible with AirPlay 2, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, NetEase Cloud.
Inputs & Outputs
Inputs: Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, 2× USB for local playback.
Outputs: Analog (balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA), digital (coaxial, optical, I²S), plus a 10 MHz BNC external clock input.
User Interface & Build
Front display, remote control, and mobile app (“Aune Control” for iOS/Android).
Minimalist Nordic-style chassis — compact dimensions (~208 × 63 × 160 mm), weight ~3 kg.
Performance Specifications
Digital: THD+N –141.6 dB (24‑bit/44.1 kHz), jitter ~171.5 ps.
Analog: SNR 109 dB; THD+N –107 to –109 dB @1 kHz; frequency response ±0.5 dB (20 Hz–20 kHz); noise floor ~2.5 µV.
Why It Stands Out
Dedicated Audio Architecture: A CPU focused solely on audio processing — akin to a classic CD player’s simplicity but with modern streaming prowes
External Clock Input: 10 MHz BNC input for precision timing and improved synchronisation.
Direct Local Playback: Native DSD512 and PCM768 k file playback from USB without the need for a PC. This is rare in the market.
Rich Connectivity: Supports both digital and analog outputs — giving flexibility for various system setups.
