N1A/2 is a development of the N1A to further improve sound quality especially for USB-DAC users. A dedicated Neutrik USB 2.0 port connects to the DAC for optimum sound quality. Internally there are many detailed improvements to further reduce internal noise including a new capacitor bank to isolate the medical grade power supply, a new higher current 3 pole IEC connector with true ground and a built in power supply noise filter. Newly selected HDD with vibration isolating cradles ensure a new low level of vibration combined with capacity increase. (EU 2 x 3TB = 6TB, USA 2TB x2 = 4TB). A front panel USB 3.0 port makes importing from USB stick or USB drive very convenient and is in addition to 3 rear USB 3.0 ports for Easy Backup, Easy Expansion, Easy Play and Easy import.

Single press power button – same as Hi-Fi components and unlike
any IT device
– Comfortable front panel buttons with positive click for easy
operation
– Front USB 3.0 port
– OLED display to reduce internal noise
– Rear USB3.0 ports – BACKUP, EXPANSION USB-DAC or Easy
Import from Flash drive, CD drive or HDD
– 3 pole IEC mains inlet with true electrical ground to define source
component as ground point, and internal power-line noise filter

Dual Ethernet ports – dedicated PLAYER port and LAN port
– Direct Mode requires no LAN connection and the N1 manages the
Ethernet Player and gives IP address without router
– RJ-45 with low noise light pipe LED indicators
– Micro miniature high performance network pulse transformers
– Audio grade ultra-low jitter internal data clock
– High data integrity and precision low jitter clock buffer
– FPGA voltage control system
