    • Dual Linear Purer-Power AURALiC’s Purer-Power technology already re-examined every detail of power delivery with innovative wiring and circuit designs based on the concepts of isolation and purification, and it was a key to the pristine operation of the original ARIES. Now, the ARIES G2 takes that approach a step further by using two internal Purer-Power linear power supplies, separating and protecting distinct power circuits from interference. The first Purer-Power supply feeds the ARIES G2’s processing circuit, LCD display, and storage – whether internal or attached via USB. The second Purer-...
  • Page 6 G2. No matter which route you choose, you’ll benefit from extremely precise timing and low jitter thanks to these super-accurate clocks. • Unity Chassis The ARIES G2 is housed in a completely redesigned enclosure – the Unity Chassis. It’s machined from a single billet of aluminum and specifically designed for the premium lineup of AURALiC G Series products, right down to mass balancing and the shape of its foot spikes. The Unity Chassis excels at shielding the inner workings of the ARIES G2 from EMI and providing superior dampening and absorption, reflecting the obsessive attention to noise reduction throughout the G Series. • Optional Internal Storage The ARIES G2 connects to all your favorite sources of high resolution digital music, no matter where they are. But if you prefer to store your music locally, there’s an internal drive bay capable of housing any 2.5” HDD/SSD. With an internal drive installed the ARIES G2 becomes a powerful and flexible streaming music server, ready to deliver an exceptional audio experience.

Use this option when connected to an MQA-enabled DAC for example. (You may also need to disable the volume control function of your streaming device or set the volume to 100 to ensure full-level pass-through of the signal.) 7. ‘Decoding Method’: AURALiC streaming devices are capable of decoding MQA files using AURALiC’s proprietary resampling and de-blurring method. You can select from the sampling rate settings for the process described here. Please note that this process is not an MQA-created or MQA-licensed process. a. ‘Auto’: Your streaming device will detect the best decoding sampling rate based on the information in the MQA file. It will also detect the maximum sampling rate of a USB-connected DAC. b. ‘2x Sampling Rate’: Your streaming device will always decode MQA files at 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz depending on the original file’s sampling rate.

    The ARIES G2 is also a RoonReady endpoint, and may be set up as a zone or as an output. (Note: ARIES G2 cannot act as a Roon Core or Roon server — a separate Roon server is required on your home network to use Roon.) Network Setup There are three methods for connecting your ARIES G2 to your home network: using the front panel display, using the Lightning web control interface, or using the Lightning DS app. Before setup, please make sure that ICMP and IGMP are enabled on your router (enabling the ‘ping’ command), so that the ARIES G2 can successfully test network connectivity. Until it is configured for your network, the ARIES G2 displays the following when it is powered on: ‘Wi-Fi Hotspot’ indicates that the ARIES G2 is broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal used for setting up the device on your home network.

    The Smart-IR settings menu shows a list of controls that can be mapped to any button on your own remote control. Follow the menu guide to complete your remote control setup. Please note that when learning new remote buttons, the ARIES G2 distinguishes between ‘short’ presses and ‘long’ presses (press and hold.) We suggest pressing the desired button the way you want to use it several times when the ARIES G2 is learning about a new button. Maintenance & Service ARIES G2 does not require regular maintenance for normal use. However, there are a few things that will help to keep it in good operating and cosmetic condition: Cleaning Only clean the enclosure with a soft, dry cloth. Extended Non-use Disconnect ARIES G2 from mains power when it will be left unattended or unused for an extended period. If your ARIES G2 encounters a problem, contact your dealer or AURALiC. Do not void the warranty by allowing unauthorized personnel to attempt to repair. Do not attempt to service the product yourself, any unauthorized repair of the device will void the warranty.
