Network Drive
Auralic evolves its products with its range G2, proposing a set of devices bringing numerous hardware and functional evolutions, designed to work together, the streamer ARIES G2 fits in this range proposing a high quality Network player Hifi with many qualities with a clear progression in terms of design, manufacturing.
For many the original ARIES was a reference in the universe of streamers. Auralic pushes the limits and after a continuous research and development process proposes a whole new version: the ARIES G2. Femto Master clock, a dual linear integrated power supply, a redesigned anti-theft chassis -EMI in aluminum ... Thus, Auralic proposes a brand new Network Reader of a level of design and reproduction at the level of the best High End references without consideration of price.
Like all Auralic network drives, the many features and connectivity options of the ARIES G2 are enabled by the native integration of Auralic Lightning Streaming technology. It uses your network to create a music streaming environment that can handle the highest resolutions, including the DSD512 and the 32bit / 384kHz PCM. Lightning Streaming technology also provides features like "Gapless" playback, caching, multi-bit-perfect and upsampling.
The ARIES G2 has been designed with two incredibly precise clocks to bring great sound accuracy. A clock allows the sampling of the formats in multiples of 44.1kHz, the second deals with 48kHz files and its multiples. These are the most sophisticated clocks that Auralic has built, running on cycles of 72 femtoseconds. The result is a jitter widely lowered and a sound of great clarity. The Master Clock 72FS is as silent as it is precise, with an extremely low phase noise of -169dBc / Hz and a 100Hz noise shift of only -118dBc / Hz, thanks in particular to its dedicated 3uV low noise power.
Electrical circuits, although physically separated, circulate the electrical interference between them. The digital audio isolation of the ARIES G2 provides a high level of separations against electromagnetic interference. Auralic designed a high-speed galvanic isolator configured between the primary circuits of the ARIES G2. The main components such as the USB digital output and AES EBU XLR are isolated from the central processing circuit, eliminating EMI noise and making a major contribution to providing transparent sound reproduction.
The ARIES G2 fits into the brand new Unity chassis. Machined in a single Aluminum plate and designed for the G2 Auralic series. It has been designed to reduce EMI interference and allow superior absorption and damping. It now has a 3.97 inch screen type Retina True Color.
To maximize the performance of the G2 Series and achieve its full potential, Auralic has developed a consistent range in which each device represents a link in the audio system. By working together, the G2 Series products deliver exceptional sound quality and usability.
The Aries G2 was the subject of a comprehensive review by EAR.
