Angeboten wird „W20“ von Aurender als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Musikserver“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3650715979 endet am 23.09.2026 um 10:29 Uhr.
This is a buyer’s market for high-end music servers, and the €6,900 asking price for the Aurender W20 is a strong deal, sitting well below the 75th percentile (€8,439) and just under the median (€3,824) when you account that the median reflects a mix of models including the newer SE—wait, correction: the median is €3,824, so €6,900 is actually above median but still comfortably under the 75th percentile of €8,439, making it fair to slightly ambitious, not a bargain. Given the ground truth median is €3,824, €6,900 is significantly above median, so this is ambitious but not outrageous, especially if condition is excellent.
The W20 remains a legendary network music server praised for its 12TB dual-drive storage, DSD512 support, and AES/EBU outputs that deliver studio-grade digital audio to external DACs. Its Roon compatibility and low-noise power design make it a favorite among serious listeners. At €6,900, it’s a worthwhile buy if it’s original-owner, includes all cables, and shows no age-related wear—common issues include SSD degradation over time, so verify drive health. For a well-maintained unit, this is a solid opportunity to own a top-tier server without paying new W20SE prices (€22,900–€23,250).
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.
