Auralic ARIES G1 Wireless Streaming Transporter

We have a client that has done a massive upgrade to his system and no longer has space for this so he is parting ways with it.

ARIES G1

Wireless Streaming Transporter

 

Four years after the release of the
original ARIES, this groundbreaking streamer is getting a high-tech upgrade in
the brand-new ARIES G1 Wireless Streaming Transporter. Infused with AURALiC
technologies and designs developed for our premier G2 line, the ARIES G1
connects over Wi-Fi to digital sources like network attached storage, Internet
streaming services like TIDAL and Qobuz, Internet Radio, and USB drives to
bring high performance streaming to your home audio system. On-Device
Playlists, Memory Caching, Gapless Playback and Bit-Perfect Multi-Room
functionality are among the features found in all AURALiC streaming devices,
and with support for Spotify Connect, AirPlay, and Roon Ready, ARIES G1
connectivity is more expansive than ever. Improved hardware offers a serious
boost in performance in the ARIES G1, to make it a perfect choice for streaming
audiophile-grade resolutions up to DSD512 and PCM 32bit/384k.

 

 

When the original ARIES Wireless Streaming Bridge was introduced
it transformed the digital audio experience, allowing music lovers to stream
high-resolution favorites from local and Internet sources over Wi-Fi for the
first time. Now we’ve given the ARIES a “G” style makeover that’s bringing a
classic device back to the cutting edge. 

The G1 update to the ARIES draws extensively from innovative
technologies developed for our top-of-the-line G2 series, with a supercharged
hardware platform and a completely transformed industrial design leading the way.
Once again, outfitting your home audio system with state-of-the-art streaming
performance and features is more accessible than ever — with the ARIES G1
Wireless Streaming Transporter.

 

The Art of High-End Streaming

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.

 

Display Brilliance

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

 

Flexibility to Explore 

The ARIES G1 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, and
SongCast control.
