Description

Aries G1.1

Released in July 2022, the new Aries G1.1 by AURALiC is the latest version of their groundbreaking Aries wireless streaming transporter, ready to deliver high-resolution streaming music to your home audio system.

Drawing on cutting-edge technologies from the premier G2.1 line, the Aries G1.1 can stream audiophile-grade resolutions up to DSD512 and PCM 384 wirelessly. Connect natively to the best music services like Amazon Music, Qobuz, Tidal, KKBOX, and HighResAudio using the AURALiC Lightning Streaming Platform.

You can also create On-Device Playlists, listen to Internet Radio, or stream music stored on a local USB or NAS drive. Control the Aries G1.1 with the intuitive Lightning DS app, as a Roon-Ready Endpoint, or with other Open Home compatible software. Featuring a more robust and elegant chassis, optional internal hard drive storage, and AirPlay 2 connectivity, the new Aries G1.1 is ready to transform the way you listen to music.

The original Aries Wireless Streaming Bridge transformed the digital audio experience, allowing music lovers to stream high-resolution favourites from local and Internet sources over Wi-Fi for the first time. Now AURALiC have given the Aries their G1.1 upgrade, keeping this most accessible streaming device on the cutting edge.

The G1.1 update draws extensively from innovative technologies developed for the highly acclaimed G2.1 series, with a supercharged hardware platform and a completely transformed industrial design leading the way. Outfitting your home audio system with state-of-the-art streaming performance and features is more accessible than ever — with the Aries G1.1 Wireless Streaming Transporter.

Lightning OS is full of cutting-edge innovations that bring your music to life like never before. An extensive memory cache, bit-perfect multi-room functionality and on-device playlists help you seamlessly experience and explore all your high-resolution sources. Take control with user apps like Lightning DS or Roon, and meet true audiophile streaming.

A 4.0-inch true colour in-plane switching display with a resolution of over 300 ppi provides complete operational feedback: playback status, configuration settings, and a full library view for browsing your collection.

Aries G1.1 offers nearly universal connectivity for access to all your digital sources. Tri-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet open your system to UPnP/DLNA media servers, shared network folders, high-resolution Internet Services, and Internet Radio, as well as RoonReady, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 control.

Still have some love for your old CDs? Not to worry – simply plug a generic USB CD drive into your Aries G1.1 then choose to play a CD, rip a CD while playing, or just rip.

As with AURALiC’s Lightning file streaming, this unique CD playback feature uses the same advanced, jitter-reducing Memory Playback technology. CD data is first read, and compared several times for accuracy into the system cache before playing. The result is elimination of potentially induced jitter from the transport, canceling any negative effects from the quality of your chosen CD drive, potentially improving performance beyond what is offered from competitor CD players.

AURALiC have also given the Aries G1.1 two of their ultra-quiet Purer-Power linear power supplies. This addition galvanically isolates them from each other in their ongoing quest to reduce noise for better sonic performance. Processing and display power is completely separated from sensitive audio components which now operate on their own dedicated supply. Interference between the separate areas is reduced to zero, so all you hear is the music.
