Auralic ARIES G1.1 is a network transport with the Tesla G2 platform, streaming up to DSD512 and PCM 32 bit/384 kHz, support for Roon, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal and Qobuz, internal storage (optional), memory caching, digital outputs (USB, AES/EBU, coaxial, optics), Wi-Fi and Ethernet. It features high quality, user-friendly Lightning DS application and multi-zone mode.
Auralic ARIES G2.2 is the flagship network transport with the Tesla G3 platform (8 times faster than the previous one), support for PCM up to 32 bit/384 kHz and DSD512, 4 GB memory, direct memory access to reduce jitter by 90%, dual low-noise Purer-Power, Femto Master Clock 60fs, internal NVMe-SSD, USB 3.0, digital outputs (AES/EBU, coaxial, optics, Lightning Link), Ethernet and Wi-Fi, the ability to work with Roon, Tidal, Qobuz and proprietary Lightning DS software.
Auralic ARIES S1 is a network transport based on the powerful Tesla G3 platform (4-core ARM, 2 GB DDR4), supports 32-bit/384 kHz PCM, DSD512, MQA, equipped with USB, AES/EBU, optical and coaxial outputs, dual galvanic isolation, Femto Master Clock and proprietary Lightning software for streaming music from TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon, local servers, and track caching
AURALiC Altair G2.2 is a multiple winner of many tests. The model uses the most powerful modern proprietary streaming platform Tesla G3, combining Fusion DAC, direct data recording technology and a galvanic isolation unit. A fully analog preamp section with ORFEO class A output modules and a discrete regulator also exists.
Vega G2.2 is based on the advanced Tesla G3 platform, significantly increasing their computing power and capabilities. At the same time, the new products retain the key characteristics of their extremely successful predecessor Vega G2.1, such as the proprietary AURALiC Fusion DAC structure, direct data recording (DDR), galvanic isolation, passive level control and a fully analog preamp.
