Streamer Interface Tesla G2 WiFi DLNA AirPlay 32bit 384kHz DSD512
Auralic's Aries G2.1 is a powerful, flexible network player and digital interface capable of delivering a signal of unparalleled fidelity. It stands out as the most advanced and powerful method developed by the brand to bring state-of-the-art streaming to your audio system. Whether your music is on your network, on a USB stick, or on streaming services such as Qobuz or TIDAL, the Aries G2.1 offers endless possibilities for exploring your musical universe from the Lightning DS application. It also offers many features such as playlists, caching, seamless playback and bit-perfect multiroom. Thanks to the Tesla G2 hardware platform, the Aries G2.1 is capable of processing all streams with great efficiency up to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD512.
The chassis of the Aries G2.1 has been designed as a dual case. The exterior is made of high quality aluminum and is combined with an internal copper layer. A high mass base and an improved four-legged suspension system complete the chassis' anti-vibration and anti-noise capabilities, effectively absorbing vibrations.
The Aries G2.1 uses a powerful Tesla G2 processor, 50% more powerful than the previous version, offering an impressive processing capacity. It will have no trouble playing, decoding or streaming your audio files. DXD oversampling and a wide range of DSP filters offer a wide choice to suit your listening preferences. The network function works at up to 32bit 384kHz and DSD512, supporting all major lossless codecs.
Auralic developed Lightning OS to be a high-quality streaming environment. A software architecture meticulously designed to work with the powerful Tesla hardware platform built in. Lightning OS is packed with cutting-edge innovations that bring your music to life like never before. Connect to all your high-resolution sources, take control with applications like Lightning DS or Roon, and experience true audiophile streaming.
The front panel of the Aries G2.1 features a sublime 4" color display, with a resolution of over 300ppi offers a complete and intuitive feedback on the playback of your music and the operating status of the device.

The Aries G2.1 offers near-universal connectivity to all your digital sources. The most advanced WiFi and Ethernet technologies open your system to UPnP/DLNA protocols, shared network folders, streaming and web radio services as well as RoonReady, Bluetooth, AirPlay and Songcast control.
The Aries G2.1 allows you to connect a USB CD player (not included), allowing you to play your CDs and even rip the files. As with Lightning file streaming, the CD playback function uses the same advanced memory playback technology, reducing jitter. The data on the CD is first scanned and then compared several times for accuracy in the system cache before being played back. The results are the cancellation of jitter potentially induced by the stream transmission, but also the cancellation of any negative effects caused by the CD player itself, as well as an overall improvement in sound quality.
Auralic's G2 and G2.1 series offer ultra-fast connectivity using Lightning Link technology, which can handle audio, digital clock and control signals. Each G2 and G2.1 product has a Lightning Link port, allowing them to be connected together. This ultra-fast connection is via an 18Gbps HDMI connector for jitter-free two-way communication.
To avoid the interference associated with traditional circuit designs, the Aries G2.1's galvanic isolation separates the electrical circuits while allowing data to flow between them. Auralic has created two special high-speed galvanic isolators configured between the main clock, processing and transmission circuits.
Dual Femto Clock
The two separate, ultra-accurate femto clocks provide extremely low jitter and better sound. One clock handles the digital outputs and the second regulates the USB output.
1GB of cache memory
Open network connections and data retrieval are prone to noise that can affect the quality of your audio signal. The Tesla G2 hardware platform dedicates 1GB of RAM to caching, which reduces the frequency of open circuits and improves sound quality.
GalvanicUSB
Like ActiveUSB technology, GalvanicUSB bypasses noisy USB power to improve sound quality. Precise reclocking reduces jitter, and the all-new galvanic isolation provides even greater protection against electromagnetic noise.
Smart-IR Control
Smart-IR Control allows your Auralic device to match its functionality to the remote control of your choice. Simply tell the device which remote you prefer and all its functions (play/pause, volume control, track selection, etc.) will be assigned to the buttons as you wish.
Dual Purer-Power
The first of the two Purer-Power supplies power to the Aries G2.1's processing circuitry, LCD and storage, whether internal or connected via USB. The second power supply is dedicated to sensitive audio components such as the femto clock and USB audio output. The two power supplies are galvanically isolated from each other to ensure no electromagnetic interference between them.
