AURALiC Introduce ARIES Version 4.0 Firmware - New playback engine brings major improvements to sound quality and exciting new features.
Beijing, China, 11th September, 2016 – AURALiC LIMITED release Version 4.0 of Lightning device firmware for ARIES, ARIES LE and ARIES MINI. The new firmware, which utilises AURALiC’s latest Lightning Playback Engine V2, introduces several new features and a major improvement in sound quality.
Memory Cache: Memory Cache allows streaming device to pre-load music track into system memory to achieve better sound quality. It also helps to improve streaming stability under less ideal network environment. AURALiC streaming products with this new firmware 4.0 will cache the on-playing file data into system memory rather than internal storage (SSD) for maximum sound quality consideration: device will disable most of idle hardware and software during playback to reduce EMI noise generated by digital circuit.
The size of Memory Cache for ARIES and ARIES LE is 512MB, enough to cache most High-Res music files in regular length at one time. The ARIES MINI has a reduced Memory Cache size of 64MB due to smaller hardware memory. Music files with bigger size will be cached in several segments based on playback progress.
The Memory Cache function will be enabled automatically when Lightning device plays music through Lightning DS and any other UPnP based control software. This feature is however not working under Internet Radio, AirPlay, Songcast, Bluetooth and RoonReady input circumstances. Instead, the music file will be played as a live stream from host device or computer, which is not cache-able.
Bit-Perfect Group Play: The Bit-Perfect Group Play, aka ‘Party Mode’ allows user to create playback zone and play same music tracks on selected devices simultaneously. AURALiC, for the first time in the industry, brings user this function with highest sampling rate support up to DXD (PCM in 32Bit/384K) and DSD256 in bit-perfect way without a down-sampling process.
AURALiC’s Bit-Perfect Group Play guaranteed a much higher synchronization precision, with 10 times less error than any of existing wireless multi-room solution.
High Quality Resampler: Firmware 4.0 also comes with the High Quality Re-sampler. With current version (3.1) of Lightning DS, ARIES can convert DSD64 music to 24Bit/88.2KHz on the fly by disable ‘DSD over PCM’ option in the Lightning DS App. The re-sampler will firstly up-sample 1Bit/2.8224MHz DSD signal to 24Bit/2.8224MHz then convert to 24Bit/88.2KHz, minimizing sound quality loss during the conversion. In future version of Lightning DS, user will be able to fully utilize the Resampler by converting between any PCM sampling rate.
“Firmware 4.0 was firstly being used on ALTAIR – AURALiC’s Streaming DAC product, the initial feedbacks are very positive. After 4 months’ beta testing, we are very excited to bring this latest achievement to our existing ARIES customers.” Said Xuanqian Wang, the CEO and President of AURALiC LIMITED. “The new playback engine is a milestone in to AURALiC R&D roadmap! Our embedded software team has re-written more than 100,000 lines of existing codes, creating this playback engine from ground to maximum the performance of our Tesla hardware platform and to achieve best sound quality ever.”
ARIES firmware 4.0 is available for update free of charge for all existing ARIES, ARIES LE and ARIES MINI customer through AURALiC’s automatic online update. For complete release notice of this update, please visit:

AURALiC近年針對數位產品推出了不少新產品，在功能上有些是共通的，但其實每樣產品都有明確定位，不熟悉AURALiC的朋友可能一時之間分不清楚哪樣是適合自己的，這次我們說明各產品的功能和合適的族群。
目前數位產品主要有四款:
1.VEGA (高品質數位類比轉換器 - DAC)，價位稍高，體積中等
2.ARIES (無線串流處理橋梁 - WIRELESS STREAMING BRIDGE)，價位中等，體積小
3.ARIES MINI (迷你無線串流撥放器 - WIRELESS STREAMING NODE)，價位低，體積超小
4.ALTAIR (無線串流數位類比轉換播放器 - WIRELESS STREAMING DAC)，價位中等，體積和VEGA相同
VEGA:
首先VEGA是一款單純的DAC，適合用在高階系統當中，售價較高一些。VEGA使用的技術和電路佈局是針對高階系統所設計，對於電源純淨度、隔離外部干擾都有更多的用心。要使用在高階系統中，高解析檔案的支援非常重要，VEGA目前能夠處理DXD和4倍DSD原生檔案，至於PCM檔案則會通過內部晶片運算提升頻率至32Bit/1.5MHz。另外搭載了FemtoSeconds飛秒時鐘，校正精準度達到82飛秒(0.082皮秒)以內。
(適合預算、要求較高，已擁有一套完整系統的發燒友) 詳細報導: http://my-hiend.com/wp/?p=761
ARIES:
這部名為WIRELESS STREAMING BRIDGE的ARIES基本上就是數位檔案串流處理器，內部不含DAC。透過有線或無線網路連接用家的電腦、NAS等儲存設備或是連接線上音樂服務如Tidal、網路電台等，將音樂檔案傳輸至DAC中，而且在無線傳輸上具備高規格傳輸能力包含DXD、2倍DSD。輸入端提供無線WiFi、乙太網路接口、USB，輸出則有USB、AES/EBU、同軸、光纖。ARIES還擁有獨立線性電源的LE版本，與VEGA一同使用便是一個很好的組合。
(適合欲建構高品質網路串流播放系統的發燒友) 詳細報導: http://my-hiend.com/wp/?p=7018
ARIES MINI:
顧名思義，ARIES MINI是ARIES的迷你延伸版本，所謂迷你是指擁有ARIES的所有功能，但是因為體積較小，所以結構較單純，能支援的輸入及輸出端子並不如ARIES這麼完善豐富。而延伸的意思是，ARIES MINI比ARIES多出了一組類比輸出，意味內部擁有DAC模組，使用的是ESS Sabre的ES9018K2M DAC晶片，對於規格上的支援相當驚人的達到DXD和4倍DSD檔案。另外ARIES MINI內部還能安裝2.5吋的硬碟，比起ARIES在功能性上加強不少，而且售價超低，便宜又大碗，非常適合剛進入數位系統的音樂愛好者使用，或者是對於AURALiC產品有興趣的發燒友。
(適合欲建構網路串流播放系統、強調使用便利、功能ALL IN ONE的音樂愛好者) 詳細報導: http://my-hiend.com/wp/?p=5036
ALTAIR:
ALTAIR是目前AURALiC最新的產品，選擇ALTAIR有幾種可能，其一是用家覺得ARIES MINI很好用，非常喜歡他的便利，但是希望要有更好的聲音和性能，那就是ALTAIR了，比起ARIES MINI，ALTAIR的功能性同樣強，而且ALTAIR有更完善的傳輸端子，包含平衡類比輸出和耳機輸出。
其二為想購買VEGA加上ARIES佈局高品質的網路數位訊源系統，但掙扎於售價較高者，而上述三款產品能做到的，ALTAIR通通都有，而且品質具有水準。選配1TB SSD版本的ALTAIR=NAS+ARIES+VEGA，但由於是一體機，在費用和空間上節省許多。
其三為ALTAIR售價低於VEGA，在解碼線路上取VEGA之精華，假使有朋友喜歡VEGA卻猶豫於價位的話，那麼無硬碟版本ALTAIR就非常值得選擇，而且還多了無線網路串流功能。
(適合對聲音有要求，但空間或預算有限制的音樂愛好者，ALTAIR兼具其他三款能提供的功能性，而且在售價和表現上得出一個優異平衡)
