Auralic Aries S1 Streaming Transport

Ex-Display.

ARIES S1 supports connecting to music stored locally or from online services such as Amazon Music Unlimited, KKBox, TIDAL, and Qobuz. Our advanced Lightning streaming platform lets you take advantage of features like On-Device Playlists, Memory Caching, Gapless Playback, and Bit-Perfect Multi-Room functionality. ARIES S1 offers a plethora of processing features aimed at optimising the audio signal: high-quality resampler, parametric equaliser, speaker placement compensation and loudness levelling. For the first time in the ARIES lineup, this product can process incoming signals from digital or USB inputs. Leveraging its onboard Tesla G3 platform, the ARIES S1 processes the signal, effectively removing jitter and artefacts before applying user-selected processing features to enhance the audio quality. The processed signal is then output via digital or USB connection, ensuring an enriched listening experience that remains faithful to the original source.

S1 is AURALiC's latest entry-level audio streamer. Powered by AURALiC’s cutting-edge Tesla G3 streaming platform, the S1 inherits premium audio technologies from the acclaimed G2.2 reference products, including Direct Memory Access (DMA), Direct Data Recording (DDR), Galvanic Isolation, and more. The role of the ARIES S1 has evolved significantly, moving from a simple streaming transport or bridge to a robust streaming processor.

Flexibility to Explore

ARIES S1 offers multiple input choices, enabling you to use your preferred music playback software effortlessly. It is 100% compatible with OpenHome-based control software such as BubbleUPnP and Linn Kazoo, and is a certified RoonReady endpoint for optimised performance within your Roon ecosystem. Enjoy the convenience of TIDAL Connect and Spotify Connect support, and experience seamless compatibility with Apple AirPlay 2 protocol. Elevate your music experience with the ARIES S1 - where choice meets premium audio performance

Whisper-Quiet Operation: Dual Galvanic Isolation

To avoid the interference associated with traditional open-circuit designs, Galvanic Isolation in the ARIES S1 separates electrical circuits while allowing data to flow between them. We created two special high-speed galvanic isolators and configured them between the ARIES S1’s primary clocking, processing, and transmitting circuits. It’s a new level of EMI protection that helps eliminate jitter, delivering unparalleled clarity.

Tesla G3 - A New Era for Streaming

Built on a quad-core 64-bit architecture, our Tesla G3 streaming platform delivers eight times the processing capability of its predecessor. Equipped with 2GB of DDR4 system memory, the Tesla G3 can easily handle even the most demanding processing tasks, making it a future-proof solution which will accommodate the rapidly evolving digital audio landscape.

The Tesla G3 platform also employs Direct Memory Access (DMA) technology for its audio input and output channels, enabling all audio-related hardware and software to access the system memory directly. This significantly reduces latency and jitter by 90% compared to Tesla G2, giving us more flexibility to fine-tune the performance and sound quality of our products.
