While the success of the G2 products proved a welcome chapter, the AURALiC team, in its innovative spirit, felt that it’s time to further the series in terms of its capabilities, both in the realm of hardware and software. The company introduced a category-wide update to its award-winning G2 and GX Product Range: Series G2.1/GX.1. The G2 Series now stands as one of AURALiC’s most successful projects. The series include the Aries G2.1 Streaming Transporter, the Vega G2.1 Streaming DAC, the LEO GX.1 Master Reference Clock and the Sirius G2.1 Upsampling Processor.
The G2.1 Series casework now features a double enclosure, or “a chassis-within-a-chassis,” where the outer casework is manufactured from high-grade aluminum and an additional internal enclosure is made from copper. These design revisions enhance EMI shielding, providing an audible improvement to performance, the company says. A new, sculpted metal base provides a high- mass, heavyweight foundation for the G2.1/GX.1 series, bonded to the enhanced four-foot assembly.
While external changes to the series are certainly welcome, internal circuitry modification couldn’t be ignored. For the ARIES G2.1, the USB output has been transformed into a more universal category of application, allowing for a broad level of compatibility across most manufacturers’ USB inputs. The HDD port, for local hard drive connectivity, has been given a power boost to handle a broad range of USB drives requiring higher power delivery. These optimizations have extended the potential feature sets of the products, AURALiC stated.
Lighting OS 7.0 will provide CD playback with optional ripping capabilities. Customers can use a CD drive connected via USB to an AURALiC product. Lightning’s CD function will read each disk sector several times to ensure ultimate data accuracy, then save to memory cache prior to playback. This makes for a completely jitter-free CD playback experience, besting other standalone CD players at far higher prices, according to the press release.
G2.1 and GX.1 products are all available now, have begun shipping globally, and will reach customers very soon.
