ARIES S1 is Auralic's entry-level audio streamer. It has the flexibility to connect music stored locally, or from online services such as Amazon Music Unlimited, KKBox, TIDAL, Qobuz. 

Auralic's advanced Lightning streaming platform lets you take advantage of features like On-Device Playlists, Memory Caching, Gapless Playback, and Bit-Perfect Multi-Room functionality.

ARIES S1 offers a plethora of processing features aimed at optimizing the audio signal: high-quality resampler, parametric equalizer, speaker placement compensation and loudness leveling.For the first time in the ARIES lineup, this product can process incoming signals from digital or USB inputs. Leveraging its onboard Tesla G3 platform, the ARIES S1 processes the signal, effectively removing jitter and artifacts before applying user-selected processing features to enhance the audio quality. The processed signal is then output via digital or USB connection, ensuring an enriched listening experience that remains faithful to the original source.

The AURALiC ARIES S1 stands as a formidable entry in the realm of high-end audio streamers, particularly due to its advanced features and technologies borrowed from the prestigious G2.2 reference line. This device not only serves as a bridge for audio streaming but elevates its function to that of a comprehensive streaming processor.

Here's a closer look at how the ARIES S1 differentiates itself within its category:

Advanced Streaming Processor Explained

A "streaming processor" like the ARIES S1 goes beyond merely transferring audio data across devices or platforms. Instead, it processes the incoming audio signals in various ways to enhance the overall sound quality:

  • High-Quality Resampler: Adjusts the sample rate of the audio to better match the capabilities of the output device, ensuring optimal sound quality.
  • Parametric Equalizer: Allows for precise adjustments of the sound frequency response to tailor the audio to the listener's preferences or to compensate for acoustical anomalies in the listening environment.
  • Speaker Placement Compensation: Adjusts the audio output to counteract less-than-ideal speaker placements, ensuring that the sound is well-balanced and immersive.
  • Loudness Leveling: Maintains a consistent volume across different tracks or sources, providing a more uniform listening experience.

Key Technologies and Features

  • Tesla G3 Streaming Platform: Provides the computational power necessary to handle high-resolution audio streaming and complex signal processing tasks.
  • Direct Memory Access (DMA) and Direct Data Recording (DDR): These features enhance the efficiency of how audio data is handled, reducing latency and buffering issues, thereby ensuring smoother playback.
  • Dual 60fs Femto Clocks and Galvanic Isolation: These components are crucial for reducing noise and minimizing signal distortion. The femto clocks provide extremely precise timing for digital signals, reducing jitter to nearly imperceptible levels, while galvanic isolation prevents electrical noise from one part of the system affecting another.

Connectivity and Integration

  • Rear Panel Connections: Includes USB audio, coaxial, and Toslink inputs, alongside Ethernet for network connection. This variety allows for versatile setups and integration with various digital audio sources.
  • Streaming Service Integration: Supports popular services like TIDAL, Spotify, and Internet Radio directly, and is compatible with Roon (pending certification), enhancing its appeal to users who prefer these platforms for their audio content.

Optional Power Supply

  • S1 External Purer-Power Supply Unit: Designed for audiophiles who demand the utmost audio purity, this optional upgrade doubles the power capacity and separates the processing circuit from the audio circuits to minimize interference and maximize audio fidelity.

By integrating these sophisticated technologies and features, the AURALiC ARIES S1 not only promises high-quality audio streaming but delivers an enriched audio experience that remains faithful to the original recording. It’s an ideal choice for audio enthusiasts who seek to merge the convenience of modern streaming with the fidelity of high-end audio systems.

Chord Company dealer feedback

“Absolutely love the speakers. The speakers do show of the recording. If however the recording is not well mixed it will show the listener as well that it was a bad recording. When they did a bond song together. However if you have a well recorded album like London Grammar or Faithless etc the music is not just fun but dynamic and entertaining. Totally recommend these speakers. ”
