General:
Having a digital Network transport is useful when you want to store a large collection of music locally but dont want the clutter of potentially 100s of CD's in your house.

This Aurender AUR-X100L is a very nicely made unit and performed well during testing.

Installed is a massive 12TB (12,000GB) hard drive ready to fit your entire music collection. It will also include its original manual. 

From Aurender:
Until X100L, digital music lovers with large music libraries had no choice other than to use an expensive NAS or cumbersome USB HDD array in order to store their collections. No longer! With a massive internal storage capacity of 6 or 12TB, X100L offers a one-box solution for your comprehensive digital music library.
With a USB audio output and external SMPS power supply, X100L offers a simple, cost-effective solution for the devoted music collector.

Testing Process:

We start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating. 

After the visual inspection we connect the DAC's RCA outputs to our Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates a real world input impedance and allows us to monitor the output on an oscilloscope. We are equipped to test optical, coaxial, and USB inputs at Redbook CD Quality.

We start with a test signal to verify signal lock and proper output on both channels. If the DAC has balanced outputs these are also tested at this time. If the DAC has multiple Optical and Coaxial inputs they are all checked for proper lock. USB inputs are tested with a MacBook Pro. 

After proper function is verified, we setup the DAC for a listening test to evaluate general audio reproduction quality and monitor for clicks, pops, or any other audible signs of issues related to dropped signal lock or failing audio output stages. We often connect the DAC under evaluation to our long term test rig for a long test stint to verify stability under real world operating conditions.
