COCKTAIL AUDIO N15D

Pre owned. In excellent condition. No obvious signs of wear. Includes manual and original packaging.

The CocktailAUDIO N15D represents the perfect blend of compactness, versatility, and high-quality audio performance. Designed for those who want to enter the world of digital music without compromising the quality of a hi-fi system, this network player combines the convenience of a digital device with the refinement of a true audiophile component. Its clean and 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, delivering detailed, smooth, and nuanced sound reproduction.

At the heart of the N15D is the 32-bit ESS Sabre 9018K2M DAC, ensuring transparency and timbral accuracy, supported by a 1.0 GHz Dual Core ARM Cortex A9 processor and 1 GB DDR-1066 system memory, accompanied by 8 GB of internal flash storage. This architecture allows the N15D to operate with remarkable stability and speed, providing immediate response to commands and flawless handling of even the most complex digital streams.

The device is fanless and completely silent, thanks to its passive cooling system that ensures discreet and continuous operation. Its solid aluminum chassis conveys a sense of robustness and precision, while the clean front panel houses a USB-A 2.0 port for quick connection to external storage devices and a volume control knob that also manages the built-in headphone amplifier with a 6.35 mm output.

The rear panel includes two USB-A 3.0 ports, one USB-B, a 2.5-inch hard drive bay supporting drives up to 4 TB, an Ethernet port, digital audio outputs (Coax and Toslink), and analog outputs for direct connection to an amplifier or active speakers. This extensive connectivity allows flexible integration with both local devices and networked systems, making the N15D a true home music hub.

Music can be played from internal hard drives, USB sticks, or networked media servers via UPnP, DLNA, Media Renderer, or Samba protocols. With Samba and DLNA server capabilities, the N15D can not only play its own content but also share it across the home network or store files from a computer. Control is available via the dedicated Music-X app for iOS and Android, or through a web interface compatible with any device, eliminating the need for a built-in display.

The experience is further enhanced by AirPlay and Google Cast compatibility, along with support for major streaming services such as Tidal, Deezer, Spotify Connect, Napster, and Airable, providing immediate access to a vast library of high-definition music.

The CocktailAUDIO N15D is therefore a compact yet powerful network player, designed to deliver audiophile-quality sound in a discreet format that easily integrates into any environment. It combines intelligence, technical precision, and listening pleasure, bringing digital music to life with warmth and depth.
