AURALiC S1 - Pure Essence of Sound

The S1 series incorporates the best audio technologies from our acclaimed G2.2 reference models. At the core of these models is AURALiC’s latest Tesla G3 streaming platform. This platform includes advanced features such as Direct Memory Access, Direct Data Recording, Dual Galvanic Isolation, and Dual 60fs Femto Clocks, all working in harmony together to deliver unmatched audio performance at the price.
The S1 series includes two distinctive products: the ARIES S1 streaming processor and the VEGA S1 streaming DAC. Both utilize AURALiC’s refined Lightning Streaming Platform for seamless connection to local music libraries or online services such as Amazon Music Unlimited, KKBox, TIDAL, and Qobuz via Ethernet. They both feature digital and USB inputs which are carefully routed through the Tesla G3 platform ensuring a clean, jitter-free signal.
The ARIES S1 focuses on digital and USB outputs to bring AURALiC’s state-of-art streaming technologies to an existing audio system. The ARIES S1 has highly sophisticated signal enhancement features including a resampler, parametric equalizer, speaker placement adjustment, and loudness leveling.
The VEGA S1 is equipped with analogue outputs on both RCA phono and balanced XLR, featuring AURALiC's exclusive Fusion DAC technology. This technology combines discrete ladder and Delta-Sigma architectures to deliver exceptional audio detail and precision. The VEGA S1 comes with a fully analogue resistive ladder volume control, and can be connected directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeaker system. Alternatively, it can be set at a fixed level for use with a preamplifier or integrated amplifier. Additionally, the VEGA S1 can function as a Pure DAC, further enhancing audio performance when paired with the ARIES S1 streaming processor.
Further audio enhancements are available for both the Aries S1 and Vega S1 with the addition of the optional S1 Purer-Power Power supply featuring a dedicated Lightning Power Cable for either S1 model.
