AURALIC ALTAIR G2.1, High Performance Streamer, DA-Wandler, Vorverstärker
Der Modellname ALTAIR war schon immer ein Synonym für umfangreiche Features und Funktionalität. Mit dem ALTAIR G2.1 wird jedoch ein neues Kapitel aufgeschlagen, da das ALTAIR-Konzept zum ersten Mal in die G2.1-Premium-Serie von AURALiC aufgenommen und weiterentwickelt wurde, um umfangreiche Features mit klanglicher Spitzenleistung zu verbinden.Leistungsstarker VorverstärkerAls Produkt der G2.1-Serie wurde der ALTAIR G2.1 mit Eigenschaften und Merkmalen entwickelt, die sicherstellen, dass seine Leistung als "Next-Level" angesehen wird und er als eigenständiger Vorverstärker verwendet werden kann. Die analoge Lautstärkeregelung an Bord, ähnlich der des VEGA G2.1 und basierend auf einem resistiven Ladder-Design, sorgt für ein extrem leises Signal, egal an welchem Eingang. AURALiCs Class- A-ORFEO-Ausgangsmodule ermöglichen ein extrem rausch- und verzerrungsarmes Signal im analogen Bereich.Analoge EingängeDer ALTAIR G2.1 verfügt außerdem über zwei separate, rein analoge Eingänge, die die digitale Sektion komplett umgehen und ein reines Analogsignal vom Eingang zum Ausgang bereitstellen. Der erste ist ein analoger Line-Pegel-Eingang mit Heimkino-Bypass-Funktionalität, der zweite ist eine eigens entwickelte Moving-Magnet-Phonostufe für eine elegante, direkte und leise Verbindung zu einem Plattenspieler.Rechenpower auf höchstem NiveauBei so vielen Anforderungen, die an den ALTAIR G2.1 gestellt werden, war die Wahl des Prozessors einfach. Der ALTAIR G2.1 nutzt den leistungsstärksten der Tesla-Plattformen, der mehr als genug Headroom hat, um die anspruchsvolle Anzahl von Features und Funktionen zu verarbeiten.Duale Femto-Sekunden-Taktgeber liefern präzise getaktete Signale und reduzieren den Jitter erheblich. ALTAIR G2.1 kann per Lightning DS (auf Apple iOS-Geräten) gesteuert werden, ist auch mit anderer OpenHome-basierter Steuerungssoftware kompatibel und Roon-ready.ALTAIR G2.1 kann eine wachsende Anzahl von Streaming-Diensten wie Qobuz, Tidal und Spotify Connect wiedergeben, weitere werden in Kürze folgen.Pure G2.1 LeistungDie physikalische Konstruktion des ALTAIR G2.1 umfasst, wie bei allen G2.1-Produkten, das Unity-Chassis II, ein geräuscharmes Aluminiumgehäuse, das ein hocheffektives Kupfer-Subgehäuse umschließt, das die interne Elektronik vor Störungen von außen schützt, einen massiven Aluminiumsockel und ein sechsfach gefedertes Fußsystem, was zu einer souveränen musikalischen Performance führt.English InformationThe ALTAIR model name has always been synonymous with that of extensive features and functionality. ALTAIR G2.1, however, marks a new chapter, as it's the first time the ALTAIR concept has been incorporated and elevated into AURALiC’s world-renowned G2.1 series, combining the concepts of extensive features with that of top-quality performance.ALTAIR G2.1, like its G1 counterpart, provides every function and feature from AURALiC, but in one compact, ultra-quiet box, in line with the G2.1 ethos.Powerful Preamplifier FunctionalityAs a G2.1 Series product, ALTAIR G2.1 has been developed with properties and features that ensure its performance is considered “next-level,” and allow for it to be used as a stand-alone preamplifier. Analog Volume Control onboard, similar to that on the VEGA G2.1 and based on a resistive ladder design, provides ultra-quiet signal, no matter the input. Class A Orfeo Output Modules allow for an ultra-low-noise and low-distortion signal in the analog domain. Altair G2.1 also houses two separate all-analog inputs, completely bypassing the digital structure and maintaining a pure analog signal from input to out. The first is a line-level analog input, including home theater bypass functionality, and the second is an in-house engineered moving-magnet phono stage for an elegant, direct, and quiet connection to a turntable.Next-Level Processing PowerWith so many demands placed operationally upon the ALTAIR G2.1, the choice of processor was simple. ALTAIR G2.1 utilizes the most powerful of the Tesla platforms, which has more-than ample headroom to handle the challenging number of features and functions found in any AURALiC component. Finally, Dual Femto Second Clocks deliver precisely-timed signals, greatly reducing associated jitter. ALTAIR G2.1 can be controlled by Lightning DS (on Apple iOS devices), is also compatible with other OpenHome-based control software, and is Roon-ready as well. ALTAIR G2.1 can deliver a growing number of streaming services such as Qobuz, Tidal, and Spotify Connect, with more to come soon.Pure G2.1 PerformanceALTAIR G2.1’s physical construction, as with all G2.1 products, includes Unity Chassis II, a stealth-silent aluminum enclosure encapsulating a highly-effective copper sub- enclosure that protects the advanced internal electronics from outside interference, a massive aluminum base, and a six-spring suspension footer system, all resulting in a quiet, sublime, musical performance.The flexibility to connect to everything, the intelligence to control your world of music with a touch, and the power to deliver a signal of incomparable fidelity.
