Auralic Aries G1.1 Network Streamer Black

The new G1.1 version of our revolutionary ARIES wireless streaming transporter is ready to deliver high-resolution streaming music to your home audio system. Building on the cutting-edge technologies of our flagship G2.1 line, the ARIES G1.1 can stream audiophile-grade resolutions up to DSD512 and PCM 384 wirelessly. Connect natively to top music services like Amazon Music, Qobuz, Tidal, KKBOX and HighResAudio using our Lightning streaming platform. You can also create playlists on the device, listen to Internet radio or stream music stored on a local USB drive or NAS. Control the ARIES G1.1 with our intuitive Lightning DS app, as a Roon-Ready endpoint or with other Open Home compatible software. Featuring a more robust and elegant chassis, optional internal hard drive storage, and AirPlay 2 connectivity, the new ARIES G1.1 is ready to transform the way you listen to music.

The original ARIES Wireless Streaming Bridge transformed the digital audio experience, enabling music lovers to stream high-resolution favorites from local sources and the Internet over Wi-Fi for the first time. Now, we've given the ARIES our G1.1 update, keeping our most accessible streaming device at the forefront.

Our G1.1 update to the ARIES draws heavily on innovative technologies developed for our acclaimed G2.1 series, with an enhanced hardware platform and a completely transformed industrial design leading the way. Equipping your home audio system with cutting-edge streaming performance and capabilities is more accessible than ever with the ARIES G1.1 Wireless Streaming Transporter.

The Art of High-End Streaming

Lightning OS is packed with cutting-edge innovations that bring your music to life like never before. A large memory cache, bit-perfect multi-room functionality, and on-device playlists help you seamlessly experiment and explore all your high-resolution sources. Take control with user apps like Lightning DS or Roon and meet true audiophile streaming.

Show Brilliance

A 4.0-inch true-color IPS display with over 300 ppi resolution provides comprehensive operational feedback: playback status, configuration settings, and a full library view to explore your collection.

Tesla G2: A Platform Built for Sound

In 2014, we developed the original Tesla hardware platform with the goal of creating a high-performance, upgradeable platform optimized for audio sound quality. Working closely with our control interface and innovative software features, it has been the most powerful processing platform available for digital music playback and streaming.

Now there's the Tesla G2. 50% faster, with twice the processing resources, the Tesla G2 is the hardware powerhouse behind the G2 line's sonic excellence.

37,500 MIPS - Processing Speed - 50% faster CPU performance than the original Tesla G1 processor.

200% - Memory and Storage - Twice the system memory and data storage space translates to smooth audio signal processing and support for advanced features.

1GB - Memory Cache - A massive memory cache reduces network noise and open circuit time, dramatically reducing costs while improving sound quality.

Exploration Flexibility

The ARIES G1.1 offers near-universal connectivity for access to all your digital sources. Tri-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet open up your system to UPnP/DLNA media servers, shared network folders, high-resolution Internet services, and Internet radio, as well as RoonReady control and AirPlay 2.

CD Playback and Ripping

Still got some love for your old CDs? Don't worry; you can connect a generic USB CD drive to your ARIES G1.1 and choose to play a CD, rip a CD during playback, or just rip.

Like AURALiC's Lightning file streaming, our unique CD playback feature uses the same advanced Memory Playback technology that reduces jitter. The CD data is first read and compared multiple times for accuracy in the system cache before playback. The result is the elimination of potentially transport-induced jitter, negating any negative effects from the quality of your chosen CD drive, potentially improving performance beyond what competing CD players can offer.

Dual Femto Clocks

Dual Femto Clocks have you covered no matter how you prefer to connect. With 2 separate, super-precise clocks cycling on the order of quadrillionths of a second, you'll enjoy extremely low jitter and improved sound. One clock takes care of the digital outputs and the second governs the USB output, so you can be sure your music signal is always rock solid.

Smart-IR Control

Smart-IR remote control allows your AURALiC device to map its functionality to any remote control you choose. Simply tell the device which remote you prefer, and all of its operations (play/pause, volume control, track selection, etc.) can be assigned to buttons just the way you like.

1GB Memory Cache

Open network connections and data retrieval are prone to noise that can damage audio signal quality. The Tesla G2 hardware platform dedicates a full 1GB of RAM to the task of caching, lowering the frequency of open circuits and helping your music sound better.

Double the Purer Power

The first of two Purer-Power power supplies powers the ARIES G1.1's processing circuitry, LCD display, and storage, both internal and USB-attached. The second Purer-Power path is dedicated to sensitive audio components like the Femto clock and USB audio output. Both power supplies are galvanically isolated from each other to ensure zero EMI interference between them.

Active USB

The second generation of our ActiveUSB offers more than just asynchronous control over USB data for greater accuracy and precise re-clocking to reduce jitter. It also bypasses the USB power flow, using its own Purer-Power linear power supply instead. This means dirty USB power, and the EMI noise that comes with it, is kept as far away from your music as possible.

Dual Purer-Power Linear Power Supplies

We've equipped the ARIES G1.1 with two of our ultra-quiet Purer-Power linear power supplies, galvanically isolating them from each other in an obsessive pursuit of reduced noise for better sonic performance. The processing and display power are completely separated from the sensitive audio components which operate on their own dedicated power supplies. Interference between separate areas is reduced to zero, so all you hear from the ARIES G1.1 is the music.
