The CocktailAUDIO N15D represents the perfect balance between compact size, versatility, and high-level audio performance. Designed for those who wish to enter the world of digital music without compromising on hi-fi quality, this network player combines the practicality of a modern digital device with the refinement of true audiophile engineering. Its minimalist, compact design conceals an advanced technological core capable of handling high-resolution formats such as DSD256, PCM up to 24-bit / 192 kHz, DXD, and MQA with natural ease, delivering a sound that is detailed, fluid, and full of nuance.

At the heart of the N15D lies the 32-bit Sabre 9018K2M DAC, a benchmark in transparency and tonal precision, supported by a Dual Core ARM Cortex A9 processor running at 1.0 GHz, with 1 GB of DDR-1066 system memory and 8 GB of internal flash memory. This architecture ensures exceptional stability and responsiveness, allowing for seamless handling of complex digital audio streams.

The device operates in complete silence thanks to a passive cooling system with no internal fans, ensuring quiet and continuous performance. Its solid aluminum chassis conveys a sense of precision and durability, while the clean front panel features a USB-A 2.0 port for quick access to external drives and a volume knob that also controls the built-in headphone amplifier, equipped with a standard 6.35 mm output.

On the rear panel, the N15D offers two USB-A 3.0 ports, one USB-B port, a slot for a 2.5-inch hard drive up to 4 TB, an Ethernet port, digital audio outputs (Coaxial and Toslink), and analog RCA outputs for direct connection to an amplifier or active speakers. This wide range of connections allows flexible integration with both local and network-based devices, making the N15D a true music hub for the home.

Music can be played from internal drives, USB storage, or network servers via UPnP, DLNA, Media Render, or Samba protocols. Thanks to built-in Samba and DLNA server functions, the N15D not only plays local content but can also share it across the network or store files transferred from a PC. Control is managed through the dedicated Music-X app for iOS and Android or via a web interface accessible from any browser, eliminating the need for an integrated display.

The device also supports AirPlay and Google Cast, along with leading streaming services such as Tidal, Deezer, Spotify Connect, Napster, and Airable, giving immediate access to vast high-quality music libraries.

The CocktailAUDIO N15D is therefore a compact yet powerful network player, designed to deliver true audiophile sound in a discreet and easily integrated format. It’s a product that blends intelligent design, technical precision, and musical emotion, restoring warmth and depth to digital music playback.
