AURALiC Altair Hi-Fi Streamer DAC 32bit 384Khz AES/EBU Femtoclock Silver

he streamer audiophile L 'AURALiC Altairis a digital audio player featuring the quintessence of the brand's know-how in a sleek case less than 6.5cm high in aluminum ALLOY AFN 402.

The computing power is well beyond the specifications of modern Hifi with the integration of the famous processor Tesla ARM Cortex A9 four hearts(computing power 25.000MIPS) which have made the success of Streams AURALiC Aries and Aries Mini.

Fusion of the rigorous design of the converterVEGA AURALiCand Hifi streamers of the brand, here is the perfect tool for any seasoned amateur wishing high resolution and musical tracking in a single box.

The AURALiC Altair benefits from all the technologies of these elders and notably the digital filter " Precise Mode Filter"which, in contrast to conventional filters (SHARP, FAST and SLOW), has a natural rhythmic capacity (low pre and post-echo) close to NOS converters without their noise defects and loss of resolution in the acute medium.

Equipped with a DAC SABRE ES9018 32bit 384Khz

with 64bit digital volume, the AURALiC Altair preserves the dynamics of High Defintion files that fit perfectly into a modern Hi-Fi system.

The Altair has digital inputs (AES-EBU XLR, RCA SPDIF, USB2.0). This Streamer becomes a true DAC HUB digital audio for external sources with a very high level digital volume control replacing advantageously any aging analog preamplifier driving a power amplifier with XLR or RCA inputs.

Strokewith double clocksFemto Clocks(multiple of 44.1khz and 48khz separated with very low phase noise -151Hz) with a dedicated 9V power supply, the AURALiC Altair is a true tour de force marrying High Definition and unusual melodic capability.

TheapplicationAURALiC Lightning DSfor iPhone and iPad is among the most comfortable market with fast response time and a clear interface to use. Open to the world, the AURALiC Altair has a Wifi input for control and streaming in high-resolution wirelessly. Moreover, L'Altair has an Amoled-type display of the most readable, without reflection.
