Auralic ARIES G1

The AURALiC ARIES G1 Wireless Streaming Transporter forms, just like the earlier ARIES devices, the bridge between the various high-res digital sources and the rest of your music installation. The AURALiC ARIES G1 streams high-resolution digital files from a hard drive on your network, a connected USB hard drive and finally, internet sources such as Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and internet radio. The AURALiC ARIES G1 features AirPlay and SongCast, and can also be used as a Roon endpoint. Setup and configuration is easier than ever with the recently introduced web application. The upgrade of this original ARIES would not have been possible without the technological knowledge gained with the ARIES G2. This also means that both the functionality and the sound quality have been greatly improved. The AURALiC ARIES G1 is, for example, suitable for streaming files up to DSD512 and PCM 32-bit/384kHz via the home wifi network. The heart of the ARIES G1 is actually the same as that of the top model, the AURALiC ARIES G2. The Tesla G2 platform is no less than 50% faster than in the original ARIES, and is now additionally supported with double the system memory (2GB) and data storage (8GB), and also has a memory cache of no less than 1GB.
