Kevin gives away another T-shirt!!! Who's the best male rock guitarist??? THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!! Here is a one-word hint...and I won't say how it is used as a hint: Spanish. By the way guys and gals..... I ended up taking one of these home to keep. It's way cool. Friggin' love it.
As Kevin says, "If you are not streaming now, you have GOT TO START STREAMING!" There's no easier and more flexible solution than this digital hub from Auralic. The celebrated original Altair gets even better and moves into the big-boy G1 chassis. Whether you just want plug-n-play, or want to delve into room correction, the Altair G1 will fit into any system, offering a high-fidelity but highly usable digital front-end.

Great review Kevin. So much Enthusiasm and excitements! Thanks.
Great video review Kevin. Keep on Rocking bro. Also digging the new Alfa Romeo
Of coarse its Hendrix & I'm proud to say my first Army unit I served in was his, 101st Airborn, Fort Cambell, Kentucky!
Is there any solid recommendation for a power amplifier to be paired with this pre-amp/DAC/streamer ?
Waiting on the new
Prima Luna amps videos oh my getting excited
Paco de Lucía
John McLaughlin
Al Di Meola
And the three combined... amazing!
How does this compare to an Aurender A100?
How does the sound quality compare to the original Altair?
All my answers have already been said. I want that Alfa shirt though.
I really enjoy mine, worth every cent👍
When he mentioned 'peel me a grape' I felt like a kid caught with my pants down haha.
How does it drive headphones?
Kevin, what is your preferred music streaming service?
support MQA ? IF I HACE MQA CD CAN I CONNECT TO THE DAC OF THE ALTAIR FOR DECODE ?
I'm trying to understand what the difference is between the Altair G1 and Vega G1.
Vega G1 got a much better DAC but no streaming.
Why not make Primaluma headphone amplifier?
Can you confirm there is support for Deezer?
Spanish as in person
Andres Segovia
Paco de Lucia
Spanish as a song title
Hendrix - Spanish Castle Magic
Van Halen - Spanish Fly
Buckethead - Sketches of Spain
Page - Zep covered Spanish Harlem live, probably in some song with the rhyme of pain/rain/spain, they used rain and pain a couple of times...
Used in a song
Santana - Smooth and some other songs in that era, one with the rapper
As a joke
Bruce Springsteen - Live from Barcelona
How about a review of the Naim Uniti Star.
Would like to see your in home hifi
all i need is a streamer without the pre-amp section. fixed output please
Bluesound node 2.1
@@christinearmington i think the Bluesound is a good streamer, but i recently compared its DAC to my NAD and the NAD was much better. i also compared my NAD to the Mytek Liberty and it was very close but not a game changer. thinking of the new Liberty ll or Denafrips DAC. but happy with present set up. a new Rega Elex-R may be coming soon and perhaps a upragded DAC from Rega?
Hey there Sir, I just went to purchase this from your site with the upgraded internal hard drive you mentioned, but I couldn’t find that option.
call them
googoo gjoob, that’s a great idea! Oh wait I did call already, & the salesperson didn’t know either! Good suggestion though!
Stevie Ray Vaughan, though I can make a strong argument for Mark Knofler.
Rumblestrip.NET can’t beat that dire straits sound 👍
Bummer. Lost me at apple.
Hands down ---> Jimi Hendrix :) Listen to what other musicians were doing in the 60s, and listen to his music. When all others were doing paper plains, he came with a rocket ship and he made it look like was easy for him...lol. Jimi Hendrix all the way.
Tough question to answer but to me you have to give the nod to Mr. longevity ......Keith !
Is it difficult to install an internal SSD drive? I already have one with all my music on it and don't need the 2TB drive and extra expense.
It's really easy to install. No cutting or soldering, it's a 10-minute screwdriver job.
@@upscaleaudio ok thanks.
I love this man. He's actually convinced me to buy this product. He should be a counselor.
Derek Trucks if we are talking about those that are still alive. :)
Gotta mention Susan Tedeschi.
I need to point out that if you have Roon this will work on Android. Other streamers that have an Android app don't work very well. You can get an Ipad for under $300.
The problem isn't with Android but with weak devices running it, it needs more ram than iOS, try a OnePlus with 12gb
All the best guitarists are submitted! Damn, now just go listen and enjoy them!!!
Richie Valens?
Cesar Rosas?
David Hidalgo?
David Gilmour.
Carlos Santana.
Mark Knopfler.
Going to answer it here for me Mark Knopfler & 2nd Pete Townsend of the Who & Carlos Santana
PRINCE!
and to make it Spanish
El Prince
I'm a size L. Gracias...
How about James Burton?
Prelim answers, in no particular order are Eric, Duane, Jimi, myriad blues guys, etc etc ad infinitum. There are many others when you consider originality, pioneering,. bleeding edge,,, Chuck Berry, et al. But, Robert Johnson has the nod from me if you're talking about most influential. If you're asking about true staying power, influence and originality, Keith Richards is the man. In fact, it'd be hard to make a case for anyone other than Keith.
Eddie Vanhalen, Randy Rhodes, Slash
Hendrix I live In Canada Just wanted to chime in everyone knows it was Hendrix
Damn....you had me till iPad....deal breaker.
most innovative - Hendrix
who I enjoy listening to -
Knophler and Gilmour
Johnny Winter or Prince
I don’t know but I want a free shirt
Jim Hendrix , league of his own. Practiced in the bathroom because he liked the acoustics! Eat your heart out !
Mr. Page best rock guitarist
Luther Perkins?
Frank Zappa!!!
Andres Segovia. Paco de Lucia. Narciso Yepes. Hint hint.
was interested in it till he said dosent work with android we don't use apple stuff and no one I know uses apple stuff so ill have to find something else back to the drawing board
Eddie Van Halen - Spanish Fly
The Altair does not support all mentioned services....
Keef Richards.
Jimmy Hendrix, the Guitar Overlord
Scott Thompson. Think outside the box people.
@@unklecorky2181 Then please enlightened if you can with your forward thinking.
Terry Kath, btw the guys claiming SRV is the greatest need to listen to Albert King...
I believe that's Albert King on the monitor to the side of him. You can only see partial.
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Clapton...period.
Don't forget the built in parametric equalizer. Best guitarist? Ritchie Blackmore until hell freezes over.
rory gallagher every time for me
Prince.
Sorry, this is old but that answer is simple Jimmy Page.
But you should look at Andy LaRocque.
Jimmy Hendrix!
Eric Clapton all day long
Mark Knofler, no Pat Metheny, no Eric, no Jimmi, no Larry, no Rick... what a stupid question.
Nothing works with android....what a statement, has nothing to do with the review. I’m using android and was a former IPhone user. Switched and never looked back. Why? Because it is working 👌
Jimi Hendrix or Prince
Robert Fripp
How can streaming sound better than cd ...
Oh wait.... Steve Howie
David Gilmour
Eddie Van Halen
Jerry garcia
Kevin is pretty tough on using a computer as a streaming source. I use a Mac Mini and installed Audrivana as my management software. It will link with Tidal, Qbuz, iTunes and the files I put on the hard drive. The sound is good. When I A/B an album verses what I am streaming it is very close. A little more dynamics to the vinyl but the digital source this way is not bad. Audrivana also has updates to their firmware so it will continue to evolve. I'm sure this is a good system but I am only replying to say a computer can also be good. As for guitarist Hendrix was special considering the electronics of his time. For me David Gilmour is my choice. 70+ years old and still sounding amazing.
Guthrie Govan!
Easy Jimi Hendrix
JOE WALSH!!!
Okay guys and gals. I said the word "Spanish" as a hint. That can mean style, a song, whatever. Nobody's going to get this???
Carlos Santana?
BB king
Doesn't work with Andriod....I'm out. FYI, Auralic; Andriod is the most popular platform in the World.
They have a setup so you can access the software via HTML interface to my knowledge.
Rory Gallagher. No question
I know it's bit late but: Lindsey Buckingham
Carlos Santana
This streamer hits a lot of check marks. Very well designed for modern music listening.
Eric Clapton or Jeff beck
Billy Squire
Roy Buchanan
Prince
I know I'm late to the party but come on.... Jimmy Hendrix
jimi hendrix
Slash
Jerry Garcia
Jimmy Page period the end
You clearly are not a musician
@@guym1234 Saint Rhoads
Greg Allman
EC
Vernon Reid
Randy Rhoads....whatever your answer is, is just opinon
jimi
It doesn't work with Android because nothing works with Android... Riiight 🙄
Many streamers we sell either don't have an Android app, or they crash. Not all, but many.
Tom Morello
Gots to be Jimi Hendrix! But then again I am bias.
