Altair is the latest all-in-one streaming media player from Auralic. It debuted at the Munich Exhibition in Germany in May 2016 and was officially launched in late July. Simply put, it is to combine the Aries digital player and Vega decoding into one. It supports a variety of digital input methods, and can be easily connected to computers, tablets, mobile phones, NAS, mobile hard disks, U disks, and any equipment with standard digital output ports. It can also be installed with a hard disk for local music playback. The quality of the decoding part is close to the classic Vega.

Technical characteristics

◎High-End wireless streaming technology

Sound Sound has equipped ALTAIR with the world''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s acclaimed Lightning streaming media technology. Lightning streaming started in 2014 and is the industry''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s first wireless streaming technology that supports DXD and DSD256 music file playback. At the same time, ALTAIR also supports advanced functions such as seamless playback, onboard playlists and multi-room management.

ALTAIR, the newly developed memory playback function of phonological audio for Lightning streaming media technology has been added; it allows ALTAIR to store the sound track in the memory or system memory completely, even in an unstable network environment, it can also stably play the highest bit stream High-definition music and provide more excellent sound quality performance.

ALTAIR''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s streaming media function can be operated through the AURALiC Lightning DS control software on the iOS platform, and the Mac and Windows versions of the software are also under intense development. In addition, ALTAIR also supports third-party control software such as OpenHome and uPnP.

◎15 input methods

ALTAIR, as a leading home music center, supports almost all digital input methods: it can read music files stored in USB external hard drives, internal storage, network sharing and DLNA/UPnP servers. With the powerful Lightning DS management software, ALTAIR allows you to enjoy music at any time through online streaming services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, or Internet radio. And through AirPlay, Songcast and Bluetooth input, you can also share your favorite Apple Music, Spotify or other content provided by other service providers on your mobile phone or computer to ALTAIR.

ALTAIR can also be used as a RoonReady terminal with Roon software, bringing you a new experience of exploring and listening to music. In addition, ALTAIR not only provides AES/EBU, coaxial, optical and other digital input interfaces, but also is equipped with a USB interface for use as a high-end USB decoder.

When booking ALTAIR, you can choose a 2.5-inch hard drive or solid state drive as the built-in music storage device, turning ALTAIR into a full-featured music server.

◎AURALiC Tesla platform

ALTAIR is supported by AURALiC''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s unique Tesla hardware platform. It contains a 1GHz 4-core A9 processor, 1GB DDR3 memory and 4GB of system built-in memory. The Tesla platform has a computing power of 25000MIPS and supports various music file formats such as AAC, AIFF, ALAC, APE, DIFF, DSF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAV, WV and WMA.

Shengyun Audio chose this platform because of its flexibility and scalability. In the future, we will provide your equipment with powerful functions including DSD upscaling, room correction and MQA support. All these functions will be automatically updated via the network, without your need to operate.

◎ Femtosecond master clock

ALTAIR is equipped with a dual-frequency femtosecond master clock specially designed for the ESS Sabre decoder chip: one frequency band is used to play 44.1K and the other is used to play 48K music files, which allows ALTAIR to lock the signal in the highest precision mode at any time（Equivalent to VEGA''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s Exact mode）. Because of the 9 microvolt ultra-low noise power supply module, the dual-frequency femtosecond clock reduces the phase noise to an extremely low level. Its dynamic phase noise is -151dBc/Hz, while the 100Hz offset noise is only -115dBc/Hz. With such an excellent built-in clock, ALTAIR brings you more vivid and natural sound details and precise stereo sound field performance.

◎Linear power supply support

As decoders of the same price are increasingly using switching power supplies, AURALiC insists on using high-cost but high-quality“Purer-Power”Linear power technology. The power purification module can effectively reduce the contaminated AC power, the purification range is far beyond the audible sound frequency, and the maximum noise can be reduced by 90dB. After that, the purified AC current will be supplied to a high-quality transformer with a special iron core and a unique circuit to ensure zero vibration and extremely low noise, and prevent them from impacting the sensitive music circuit.

Compared with switching power supplies that produce broadband noise that is difficult to eliminate, AURALiC''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s independent original power supply can provide less than 1 microvolt for the analog coil of the DAC in the full frequency range（1 microvolt = 0.000001 volt）The ultra-low noise makes ALTAIR a perfect tool for you to rediscover more details hidden in every bit of music files.

◎Multiple filtering modes

ALTAIR has four built-in filtering modes for users to customize according to different music formats, making the sound more suitable for your taste. These filtering modes are inherited from the well-known AURALiC VEGA digital audio processor“Elastic filtering mode”, Each mode has been adjusted for the corresponding sampling rate. The elastic filtering mode is adjusted based on AURALiC''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s supervisory hearing and objective test data model.“Precise”The mode can perfectly show in-band ripple and out-of-band attenuation,“Smooth”Pattern can be perfectly eliminated“Pre-ringing”Effect, bring you better music enjoyment. The other two modes“Dynamic”and“Balance”Corresponding optimization adjustments have also been made for different formats.
