The G1 series is derived from the top G2 series of AURALiC. On the basis of retaining the basic architecture, the same chip and all computing performance, the whole machine has been successfully reduced by optimizing the chassis, pins, physical isolation and L-Link interface. Cost, the final price is closer to the user.

Differences between G1 and G2 products:
1. Shell: It is no longer a whole piece of aluminum cutting, G1 uses an assembled aluminum alloy case
2. Appearance: The buttons and knobs become silver, and several cutting lines are added for decoration
3. Foot spikes: ordinary foot spikes are used instead of the g2 spring suspension system
4. Cancel the Llink interface: most users do not use this interface
5. G1 cannot have a built-in hard disk: this is basically not used, it is more convenient and quick to input directly through the USB port, and it supports large-capacity hard disks.

Similarities between G1 and G2 products:

For example, support DSD512, PCM 32/384,Color screen,

Aries G1 G2 dual linear power supply

Vega G1 G2''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s 72 femtosecond clock and customized dac chip and so on.

The function is also completely the same, Vega G1 also has a built-in digital broadcast（Can only read music from dlna servers such as minimserver on the network）, Roon, spotifyconect and so on.

The appearance design of the G1 series is derived from the G2. The 3.97-inch wide-view and high-resolution retina color screen provides a better user experience. Through the silver processing of the buttons/knobs and the stripe design of the fuselage, the overall design is more dynamic. The aluminum body and stable four-leg support provide good shielding and shock absorption. At the same time, the G1 series provides the same intelligent infrared receiver function as the G2 series, which can realize any infrared remote control that can be controlled in 5 minutes after learning. Of course, the complete RoonReady is still provided for you.

ARIES G1 inherits the powerful computing core of ARIES G2: PCM 32 384 / DSD 512 playback capability, built-in dual femtosecond clock, complete digital output of AES / coaxial / optical / USB, wired Gigabit network / WiFi 5G networking function, Airplay / Soptify Connect/Internet radio/Bluetooth/Tidal/Qobuz/Songcast and other multiple playback platforms support, complete LightningServer and third-party DLNA server software support perfect matching NAS/PC/Mac OS storage music use, and provide external USB storage device file playback Function to provide you with a complete digital network playback experience. The AIRES G1 case size is 340 x 320 x 80 mm. Compared with the original ARIES which is compact and streamlined, the total volume is increased by 2.5 times. It has better electromagnetic shielding performance and heat dissipation performance. The appearance of ARIES G1 is quite different. The wide-view and high-resolution retina color screen embedded in the front panel can display the playing track and progress in real time, which is not only convenient for customers, but also can browse and listen to the content and progress. ARIES G1 uses a dual-line power supply independent power supply design, so that the audio signal quality can reach a whole new level.

Excellent hardware is only half the battle. How to continuously optimize and tap the potential of hardware through software and firmware, enrich device functions, and enhance user experience is more important in the information age. AURALiC has always insisted on the development and maintenance of its product firmware and software to continuously meet the needs of users. The G1 series also supports fully automatic online firmware upgrades. In controlling the APP, on the one hand, it still provides the excellent iOS platform control software Lightning DS, on the other hand, it also provides third-party Openhome control software support, such as Bubble DS（Original Bubble upnp）.

Evaluation:

ARIES G2 streaming media player continues ARIES’s many award-winning advanced functions and unique technical achievements, and adopts a more reliable communication connection method. At the same time, the design pays more attention to the isolation and shielding of external interference and noise. ARIES G2 is not a simple upgrade of ARIES, but a comprehensive surpassing it; it is a more powerful streaming media player with a large number of cutting-edge technology and patent innovations. Whether it is used alone or in combination with other G2 series products, it can meet the requirements of the most discerning music lovers.

   The size of ARIES G2 is the same as VEGA G2, both are 34 x 32 x 8 cm. Compared with the original compact and streamlined ARIES, ARIES G2''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s overall machine has increased by nearly 2.5 times, and the appearance changes are quite obvious. , The widened display screen can also show the album cover and timeline while playing the track, which not only adds beauty, but also facilitates browsing and listening content and progress.

   On the back of the ARIES G2 body, the input terminal provides wireless WiFi, Ethernet interface, and USB. Among them, the wireless WiFi is upgraded from dual-band to tri-band to increase the network transmission speed; and the output terminal is USB, AES/EBU, optical fiber and coaxial Electrical isolation technology is added, and Lightning Link interface is also added, which can be connected and used with AURALiC products.

   The ARIES launched in 2014 has the wireless transmission capability that supports DSD256, and the new ARIES G2 has also been upgraded to support DSD512 at the highest. Since there is no internal DAC, it can be connected to the user’s computer, NAS and other storage devices via a wired or wireless network. , Or connect to online music services such as Tidal, Internet radio, etc., and then transfer the music files to the DAC. Of course, if it can be used with VEGA G2 DAC, it is a perfect combination. The figure on the left below shows the comparison table of ARIES and ARIES G2 specifications. Both memory and internal storage space are doubled, and computing power is increased by 50%, up to 37,500 MIPS, processing music files more smoothly; the original independent linear power supply is included The inside of the case is built-in, and the case is made of aluminum alloy processing EMI electromagnetic shielding material; the lower right picture lists the new technologies and features of ARIES G2, which is equipped with dual femtosecond clocks for digital and USB output.

 AURALiC products always allow us to witness the rapid development of technology. Every time a new product is introduced, a new benchmark and level is once again achieved.
