Auralic Vega G2.1 Streaming DAC

Description Vega G2.1 Released June 2020, Vega G2.1 remains the first-ever DAC that operates independently of the source signal’s frequency. First and foremost a performance-focused DAC, every aspect of the engineering has been designed to push the boundaries of sonic performance, reshaping data into a vibrant, emotionally rewarding musical performance. The always-evolving architecture of Vega G2.1 combines high-end DAC performance and feature-rich online streaming, emerging as the heart of your digital source. While it may not house the server capabilities of its sister unit Aries G2.1, the Vega G2.1 streaming is based on the Lightning Streaming framework, so favorite AURALiC features like On-Device Playlists, Memory Caching, Gapless Playback, and Bit-Perfect Multi-Room are all at your fingertips. With support for every audiophile format and resolution up to 32bit 384khz PCM and DSD512, the Vega G2.1 is the embodiment of what high-resolution digital-to-analog conversion should be. Featuring a completely new internal architecture focused on isolation techniques via a copper enclosure and an advanced multi-spring suspension system, Vega G2.1 continues its ride along the cutting edge. Advanced galvanic isolation and always-in-control, hyper-accurate Dual 72 Femtosecond clocks contribute to deliver extraordinary clarity and precision.
