AURALiC last week introduced a range of entry-level streamers.  Building on their existing product range, the Aries S1 Streaming Transport and Vega S1 Streaming DAC inherit their technology from the new line of AURALiC G2.2 (the new Altair G2.2 update was also announced) products.  This includes AURALiC’s Tesla G3 streaming platform, Direct Memory Access, Fusion DAC, and more.  Both the Aries and Vega are controlled using AURALiC’s free Lightning DS app-based platform.  The streamers support all of the usual streaming services including AirPlay 2 Tidal Connect and Roon Ready upon completion of Roon certification.

To further enhance the performance of the streamers, there is also an optional S1 Purer Power External Power Supply.

Jian Shao, Chief Operating Officer at AURALiC, explains;

When we speak of high-performance audio, we’re not just referring to functionality. It also encompasses uncompromising sonic excellence. This ethos has driven us to develop the new S series, where ‘S’ symbolizes ‘Sound’ – nothing but the pure essence of sound.

ARIES S1 and VEGA S1 are now available for order through AURALiC’s authorized global partners, priced at $1999 | €1999 | £1999. The optional S1 Purer-Power External Power Supply Unit can be purchased for $999 | €999 | £999.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the ALTAIR G2.2, also announced this week, is $6099 | €5999 | £5299. This highly anticipated product will be available starting May  2024 through AURALiC’s network of authorized global partners.
