Da ich meine Anlage verkleinere und künftig auf ein All-in-One-Gerät umsteige, trenne ich mich von meinem Aurender W20, dem Flaggschiff-Musikserver von Aurender.
Das Gerät stammt aus einem tier- und rauchfreien Haushalt und ist in neuwertigem Zustand. Es wurde kürzlich von Aurender Europe überholt und dabei mit einem neuen Mainboard ausgestattet.

The timing is a bit late in the W20’s lifecycle, but this asking price still looks fair-to-strong rather than stretched. At €5,950, it sits above the €5,671 75th percentile of your recent EUR comps, so it’s a touch ambitious, but not absurd for an excellent example.
What makes it compelling is the W20’s reputation as a serious reference-grade music server/streamer, and clean, well-kept units still have real appeal for buyers who want Aurender’s polished interface and transport-first sound. If the listing includes the original packaging, remote, and any accessories, that helps; otherwise, I’d mainly check service history, fan/drive behavior, and whether the unit has been updated or lightly used, since those details matter more than cosmetic grade here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Aurender emerged in 2010 from South Korea, founded by engineer-entrepreneur Harry Lee, a veteran of the successful TVIX video player venture under WideaLab. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality digital audio playback options, Lee launched the brand—named for "Audio Renderer"—to pioneer premium music servers that prioritized uncompromising performance and user-friendly operation. The debut S10 server, unveiled in 2011 at the California Audio Show, stunned audiophiles and experts, propelling rapid expansion with models like the flagship W20 and more accessible X100L.
The brand specializes in digital source components, including music servers, streamers, and transports, designed to eliminate the compromises of computer-based audio. Manufactured in South Korea with design and marketing handled in California, Aurender's lineup spans entry-level options like the N100 to elite references, all optimized with proprietary software for seamless streaming and file playback. This focus sidesteps amplifiers, speakers, or analog gear, zeroing in on transforming digital files into analog-rivaling sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Aurender commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its engineering excellence, reliability, and intuitive ecosystem. Trusted by professionals worldwide, it has reshaped digital playback standards, drawing top distributors and fueling a "good/better/best" range that elevates systems without complexity.
