新版 AURALiC G2.1 系列,無論在機身結構、避震部件及抵禦雜訊干擾上都達至 AURALiC 前所未有的高度,足以站在串流播放產品的頂端位置

近期,AURALiC 音響將對屢屢獲殊榮的G2和GX全系列產品進行了全面升級。G2系列產品獲得了巨大的成功,給整個團體帶來了很多重要的啟示。 我們非常看重以下三個因素:極佳的音質表現,出色的外觀設計,產品的功能多樣性。

ARIES G2.1 ............... $37,800 ARIES G2.1 Specifications
VEGA G2.1 ............... $43,800 VEGA G2.1 Specifications
SIRIUS G2.1 ............... $55,800 SIRIUS G2.1 Specifications
LEO GX.1 ............... $69,800 LEO GX.1 Specifications

儘管,G2系列產品是Auralic歷史上引人注目的目的章節,但在創新熱情的催促下,我們感到是時候要從硬件,軟件和功能等多個方面,該系列產品進行升級了。

我們非常自豪地向您介紹G2的最新升級進展:G2.1系列。它包括了以下產品:

以下,我們會向您詳細介紹全新的G2.1和GX.1系列產品進行的改進與升級。

第二代一體化結構箱體(Unity Chassis II)--極緻工藝雙層結構機身

G2.1系列使用了雙外殼設計,或者稱為“機箱套機箱”設計。其中,外層機箱的材質是高等級鋁材,而內層機箱則是由銅金屬製成。這種設計,可以 更好的地屏蔽EMI干擾,讓您聆聽聽到更純淨的音樂表現。而全新的金屬雕刻底座,則為G2.1和GX.1系列產品,提供更可靠的,高品質,重量級底盤。 全新的機箱設計,既增加了產品的整體重量,而且在保證AURALiC音響內斂而優雅的尺寸設計的基礎上,全面提升了產品 的音質表現。



避振系統的全面升級--全面提升的避震部件,兩種不同金屬的彈簧設計

我們沿用了G2和GX產品內部重量平衡分配設計,而全新設計的避振腳釘則進一步將產品與外部機械振動進行隔離。每支腳釘中都有六個減振彈簧,和一個經過聲學校 每根彈簧被調整到不同的張力點,利用吸收不同頻率的振動,從而獲得更加清晰的聲音質感和更加開揚的聲場表現。



內部電路的優化--電路優化、提高兼容性

以ARIES G2.1流媒體播放器為例,我們進行USB輸出進行了完善,令其擁有更強大的通用性,現在可以在對外部部件進行提升的同時,我們也對內部電路進行了增強。 兼容兼容品牌的USB輸入接口。用於連接本地硬盤的HDD端口也得到了增強,可以處理需要更高輸出功率的移動硬盤設備。



CD播放與抓軌– Lightning OS操作系統的最新內容
自家 Lightning DS 專屬、可使用外置光碟機的 CD 播放及擷取音樂檔案功能

現在,Lighting DS 7.0操作系統可以為您提供CD播放功能以及可選的抓軌功能。您可以通過USB接口將光驅與我們的產品進行連接, 來實現以上功能。

在播放CD的時候,Lighting DS CD播放程序將對每個磁盤分段進行多次讀取,以確保最終能獲取到最準確的數據信息。然後將信息保存到內存緩存中,以提供完全無故障的 CD播放體驗。甚至與那些更為昂貴的獨立CD播放器同場競技,我們的產品也毫不遜遜色。

雖然您可能已經將大量CD光盤存儲在某種硬盤驅動器或NAS設備上了,但如果您可以利用手上的AURALiC音響產品,以一種更加輕鬆的方式抓取CD光盤,又何樂而不 為呢?我們的抓軌功能,在抓取音樂信息的同時,還可以自動匹配唱片與封面圖片,並自動存入您指定的NAS設備或硬盤中。ARIES(非ARIES Mini),ALTAIR,POLARIS及 其G系列產品,全部支持這一功能。只需通過USB電纜將CD光驅與我們的產品連接,您就可以享受到這一強大的功能。



Lightning Link 的連續性--專屬傳輸方式

我們有充分的理由,沒有對Lightning Link通訊協議進行升級。通用的Lightning Link協議,可以讓G2,GX系列產品與全新的G2.1,GX.1產品之間相互連接,因此所有的G2系列產品 都可以與G2.1互換使用。

User's guide
* SIRIUS G2.1 USB Audio input does not require driver for Mac OS X and Linux system. AURALiC USB Audio Driver is high recommended for use with Windows system. DSD512 is not supported by Mac OS X.
** USB DAC needs to be compatible with Linux system. DSD512 can only be output via native DSD format because the maximum DoP output rate is limited to DSD256. Please check with your DAC's compatibility.
*** All tests are processed under "Precise" filter mode.
**** All signals coming from any input will first be converted into a high frequency multi-bit data stream for jitter removal and for any user-enabled processing. The processed data will then be resampled to the customer’s selected output frequency and then be sent out of SIRIUS G2.1. This processing structure means SIRIUS G2.1 does not have a passthrough mode and will not passthrough MQA content.
