Available in two variations, the ARIES S1 features USB and digital outputs, while the VEGA S1 offers XLR and RCA analog outputs.
Both models support seamless streaming via Ethernet through AURALiC’s Lightning DS, AirPlay 2, TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, Internet Radio, and a range of digital input channels.
Additionally, the S1 will be Roon Ready upon completion of Roon certification. For enthusiasts who are dedicated to elevating audio performance to the next level, AURALiC presents the optional S1 Purer-Power External Power Supply Unit. This unit is designed to further enhance
sound quality, offering an unparalleled audio experience for those who demand the utmost in performance and fidelity.
“When we speak of high-performance audio, we’re not just referring to functionality. It also
encompasses uncompromising sonic excellence. This ethos has driven us to develop the new S
series, where ‘S’ symbolizes ‘Sound’ – nothing but the pure essence of sound,” explained Jian
Shao, Chief Operating Officer at AURALiC.
ALTAIR G2.2 – Fully Featured Digital & Analogue Source Powerhouse
The ALTAIR name has always epitomized a wealth of features and functionality, and the latest iteration, the G2.2 version, continues this tradition with even more enhancements. Powered by the state-of-the-art Tesla G3 streaming platform, the ALTAIR G2.2 introduces several updates
not seen in its predecessors, including the adoption of Direct Data Recording (DDR) , Fusion DAC, and Galvanic Isolation, all aimed at elevating audio quality to new heights.
In addition to these advancements, the ALTAIR G2.2 now boasts an HDMI eARC input, further enriching its already impressive array of input channels. This addition ensures seamless integration with a wide range of audio sources, making the ALTAIR G2.2 the ultimate hub for
audiophiles seeking uncompromising performance and versatility.

The full range of Fyne Audio speakers is now available through Audio Apartmento, with the F3, F300 and F500 series available on-line here. The specialist F1 and F704 are also available but given their size and installation requirements are not offered on-line. Contact Allan here for further information or to arrange a demonstration.

Since the inception of Audio Apartmento we have quietly recommended the Canadian speaker brand Totem acoustics. We are very excited to now formerly offer this well-known to us but relatively little known brand to all our customers.
Totem is easy to like as their priorities are identical to Audio Apartmento – it is all about the music.
Speakers priced from $775 a pair means there is something for everyone.
