the next level, al enclosed in AURALiC's elegant UnityChasis I enclosure. •New GalvanicUSB Isolation The introduction of the galvanic isolation technologyon the USB portin the ARIES G2 was a significant breakthrough fordigitalaudio system s. It suc es fuly addres ed the is ue of separating the noisy com puting circuit from the sensitive audio circuit, resulting in a m as ive im provem entin USB audio system sound quality. Building on this suc es , AURALiC is proud to introduce the second-generation GalvanicUSB in the ARIES G2.2 and G3.This new isolator has improved DAC compatibilty, functioning inthesam ewayasaregular USB portwithhotplug/unplug support. The signal quality and jiter perform ance of the 2nd generation Galvanic USB has been further optimised, resulting in noticeable sound qualityim provem ent. In addition,users can now choose to enable ordisable the USB portpower supply to the DAC through software, which ensures an even cleaner signal path. •New Purer-PowerDesign The ARIES G2.2 and G3 feature the Purer-Power low noise power supply with a capacity thatistwice thatofthe previous version, and an even lower noise design. This increased capacity ensures a clean and stable power supply for the high-performance proces ing platform and m usic storage options. Al digital audio-related circuits, including the Galvanic USB,have their individualpowersupplies,m aintaining an extrem elylow noise levelofjust0.8 m icrovolts - an 80% reduction from G2.1 model. Furthermore, the com puting circuits, which are les sensitive to noise,benefit from a low noise power supply of just 27 m icrovolts,a50-fold im provem entfrom G2.1. This advanced power supply design ensures that the digitalaudio circuits receive a clean and stable
power supply, free from noise and interference, resulting in a superior audio experience forthe listener. •NVM e InternalStorage With the new Tesla G3 procesing platform in place,ARIES G2.2 and G3 have upgraded their internal storage from traditional SATA based SSD or HDD to the most advanced NVM e (Non-Volatile M em ory Expres ) SSD storage option. This upgrade ofers numerous benefits, including outstanding data transfer speeds and dependabilty, ensuring a seam les experience for storing and playing digitalm usic. Thanks to the Direct M em ory Ac es (DMA) technology, NVMe storage ofers significantly faster transfer speeds and lower latency than traditionalstorage options,resulting in improved performance and faster ac es to stored m usic.Com pared to the G2.1 m odel,the ARIES G2.2 and G3 now ofera copying speed thatis tentim esfasterwhentransfering m usic from Ethernetto the internalstorage. Both ARIES G2.2 and G3 can be fited with factory pre-instaled 4TB NVM e storage as an option. However, customers can also request larger storage options as a special-order request. •USB 3.0 ExternalStorage The addition of USB 3.0 external storage ports on the ARIES G2.2 and G3 significantly increases copying speedsand faciltatesefortles transfer ofhigh-resolution audio files.The USB 3.0 portprovides 1.5 am ps ofpower, triple the powercapacity ofG2.1.The added powercapacityalso alowsfora wider range of external storage options,including largercapacitydrives thatm ayrequire m ore power. •SupportofLEO GX.1 Forthem ostdiscerning listeners,ARIES G2.2and ARIESG3now ofertheabilty to connectto ourLEO GX.1 Reference M aster Clock through Lightning Link, alowing for even greater levels of ac uracy and im proved sound quality
