Enhance your music experience with the ARIES S1 and choose the moment to encounter top-tier audio performance.
Silent operation: Double electrical isolation
To avoid interference associated with traditional open-circuit designs, electrical isolation in the ARIES S1 separates the circuits while allowing data to flow between them. We created two special high-speed electrical isolators and configured them between the ARIES S1's main clock, processing, and transmission circuits. This is a new level of protection against electromagnetic interference, helping to eliminate jitter and achieving unprecedented clarity. 
Tesla G3 - A New Era of Wireless Streaming
Based on a quad-core 64-bit architecture, AURALiC's Tesla G3 streaming platform delivers eight times the processing power of its predecessor. Equipped with 4GB of DDR4 system memory, the Tesla G3 can easily handle the most demanding processing tasks, making it a future-oriented, scalable solution for the rapidly evolving digital audio landscape.
The Tesla G3 platform also employs Direct Access Memory (DMA) technology for audio input and output channels, enabling all audio-related hardware and software to directly access system memory. Compared to the Tesla G2, this significantly reduces latency and jitter by 90%, allowing AURALiC greater flexibility in tuning product performance and sound quality.
Lightning DS is the ultimate control application designed specifically for our streaming devices. Experience seamless music management with our user-friendly interface, putting you in complete control. Easily browse and play your favorite music, including local files, streaming services, and internet radio. Our application's intuitive layout and efficient navigation make it an essential tool for audiophiles and music lovers. 
CD playback and CD transcription
Still love your CDs? Don't worry; you can connect a universal external USB CD player to your ARIES G2.2 and then choose to play CDs, transcribe CDs while playing, or transcribe only.
Like AURALiC's Lightning file streaming, AURALiC's unique CD playback function uses the same advanced, jitter-reducing Memory Playback technology. CD data is first read and then precisely compared multiple times before being stored in the system. The result is the elimination of jitter that may be introduced during transmission, eliminating any negative impact from your chosen CD player's quality, silently boosting performance beyond what competing CD players can offer.
