Auralic Aries G 1.1 Streaming Transport


Product description

Externally, the Aries G1.1 stands out for its new, solid base, which has already proven itself in the G2.1 series in terms of sound and aesthetics. The satin silver base plate harmonizes with the color of the controls and gives the device an even more exclusive appearance.

Among the internal innovations, the Aries G1.1 now also supports the installation of an internal hard drive with the help of an optional kit. This makes the Aries G1.1 even easier to use as a central music server.

The music services Amazon Music, Qobuz, HighResAudio and TIDAL, among others, are still natively integrated. The technologies TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth and the functionality to act as Roon Endpoint, as an alternative to AURALiC's own control software Lightning DS, are supported. A new addition is Apple's Airplay 2.

The ARIES G1.1 continues the ARIES tradition of clever connection management for transferring high-resolution digital music between different sources to your hi-fi system.

In doing so, it transports digital music via WiFi from local network locations, connected USB storage devices, Internet streaming services such as Amazon Music, TIDAL, Qobuz, and Spotify, as well as radio signals streamed over the Internet.

Based on the DNA of AURALiC's popular ARIES series devices, the ARIES G1.1 benefits from all the features and functionality of Lightning streaming - the infrastructure AURALiC has developed for its streaming products. On-device playlists, memory caching, gapless playback, and bit-perfect multi-room functionality are standard features.

AURALiC's Lightning DS iOS app serves as the primary interface and for control.The device is compatible with AirPlay and SongCast and can act as a Roon Ready endpoint. Setup and configuration changes are easier than ever with a newly added universal web interface.

The ARIES G1.1, which includes the same processor as the G2 model, supports streaming resolutions up to DSD512, PCM 32bit/384kHz, and can process data 50% faster via the TESLA G2 platform. It has a 2 GB system memory, an 8 GB data memory and a 1 GB cache memory. The front keys embedded in the black anodized aluminum housing or the infrared remote control can be used for navigation. The ARIES G1.1 also has a 4-inch true color Retina display. Inside, as in the ARIES G2, there are two Purer Power linear power supplies to isolate the processing circuitry from the digital audio circuitry
