Aualic / ARIES G2.2

The AURALiC Aries G2.2 is the current-generation high-end wireless streaming transport for listeners who want a dedicated digital front end feeding a serious external DAC. Built around AURALiC’s Tesla G3 platform, the G2.2 is a major step beyond the already excellent G2.1: substantially greater processing power, Direct Memory Access audio pathways, second-generation galvanic USB isolation, and a higher-capacity Purer-Power supply designed for lower noise and greater stability. This is a streamer that treats the network front end as a genuine high-performance component, not a convenience accessory. The G2.2 retains AURALiC’s superb UnityChassis construction with nickel-plated copper shielding, while offering flexible digital outputs including USB, AES/EBU, coaxial, optical, and Lightning Link for AURALiC DAC and clock integration. Roon Ready operation, Lightning DS control, broad streaming-service support, and optional internal NVMe storage make it both sonically serious and easy to live with day after day. If you already own a first-rate DAC, the Aries G2.2 is one of the most meaningful ways to raise the performance of your entire digital system. “The sound of the systems the ARIES G2.2 got to play in became more resolving, more revealing of music’s nuance, color, tone and texture … Music was simply that much more engrossing.” — Michael Lavorgna, Twittering Machines

“If you liked the G2 or the G2.1, you will love the G2.2. … Highly recommended.” — Dave Clark, Positive Feedback

This is the Aries generation serious digital listeners have been waiting for: quieter, more resolving, more refined, and more future-ready. Whether you are upgrading from an earlier Aries or moving into true high-end streaming for the first time, the G2.2 delivers the kind of black background, presence, and musical engagement that makes network audio genuinely competitive with the best sources in the system.
