AURALIC SIRIUS G2.1

As a specialized enhancement product, SIRIUS G2.1 stands as the fourth addition to the award-winning G2.1 Series of AURALiC products. As a system, the G2.1 stack, comprised of ARIES G2.1, VEGA G2.1, LEO GX.1 and SIRIUS G2.1 now represent one of the most advanced digital sources available for your high-performance system today. SIRIUS G2.1 improves and optimizes signals from all sources, whether they are high-resolution files or streams from an inferior source or format. With SIRIUS G2.1, compressed, lossy, and poor recordings all have the potential to be improved, thereby upgrading your overall experience. Because SIRIUS G2.1 utilizes an open standard protocol, it can also be connected to any brand of DAC, delivering a global variety of sample rates and formats among other functions and features. SIRIUS G2.1 will provide universal balance to a world of varied formats, resolutions, DAC chip topologies, and algorithm types.

SIRIUS G2.1 stands to improve your listening experience by employing advanced processing techniques. Poorly made recordings and even early digital recordings can benefit from SIRIUS G2.1’s impressive processing firepower. This process optimizes less-than pristine recordings by resampling the signal in a manner that potentially improves upon the experience of listening to an inferior recording.


Optimize by Equalizing
The most important factor affecting the quality of playback in your system is not the cables, components, or speakers, but instead the room in which you play your music. SIRIUS G2.1 can compensate for the room with its 8-band parametric equalizer feature, allowing you to optimize for your environment without spending tens of thousands on a complete room build or renovation.
Perfect the Imperfect
SIRIUS G2.1 offers a speaker placement function to compensate for real-world problems, allowing you to deal with barriers to perfect sound in the digital domain. While it’s necessary to place your speakers as best you can in the room first, our speaker placement function could mean the difference between poor and great sound in a less-than pristine environment.

Resample Your Experience
All digital products contain some form of sampling engine. As a separate device, SIRIUS G2.1 sets itself apart by focusing all of its energy on digital signal processing strength, using advanced resampling techniques to convert between any and all sampling rates. You’ll be able to further customize the sound of your digital sources when you choose from four distinct digital filters thanks our very own Flexible Filter Mode Technology. All of the above is done with uncommonly low distortion levels, potentially down to a staggering -170dB, which will also help keep the SIRIUS G2.1 virtually invisible in the signal path.
