AURALiC Aries G3 Streaming Processor

ARIES G3 goes beyond being just a simple transport or bridge, with its multiple inputs and a powerful co-processor.

Proteus X1 Co-Processor

Proteus X1 co-processor is built around a Xilinx XC7A200T FPGA chip with over 200,000 logic cells and 740 DSP slices. This chip shares the Tesla G3 system memory, enabling powerful data processing capabilities. With advanced processing techniques, Proteus X1 elevates the listening experience. Sub optimal and early digital recordings can benefit from Proteus X1's impressive processing power. The optimization process removes harshness and potentially improves the experience of listening to an inferior recording. Music gains substance, space, and extra dynamic range as a result.

Multiple Digital Inputs

The ARIES G3 offers a comprehensive range of digital inputs, including USB Audio, Coaxial (2), Toslink (2), AES/EBU, and HDMI eARC (to be added via a software update in the future). Incoming signals from these inputs are recorded as binary data into the Tesla G3's memory, which eliminates any potential for jitter. The data can then be processed and corrected using Proteus X1, based on the user's preferences, before being outputted either as processed or bit-perfectly, with a defined latency, to the desired output channel.

Dual 60fs Femto Clock

ARIES G3 aims to be the best possible digital audio source, achieved by the implementation of a dual 60fs Femto clocks - one for 44.1x and another for 48x sampling rate frequencies. These audio-optimized clocks have extremely low close-in phase noise and can greatly enhance sound quality, setting a new standard for signal timing. For the ultimate performance, adding LEO GX.1 will deliver a true state-of-the-art digital source experience. 

Tesla G3 - A New Era for Wireless Streaming

 Built on a 64-bit ARM architecture, this revolutionary streaming platform delivers eight times the processing capability of its predecessor. Equipped with 4GB of DDR4 system memory, the Tesla G3 can easily handle even the most demanding processing tasks, making it a future-proof solution which will accommodate the rapidly evolving digital audio landscape.

The Tesla G3 platform also employs Direct Memory Access (DMA) technology for its audio input and output channels, enabling all audio-related hardware and software to access the system memory directly. This significantly reduces latency and jitter by 90% compared to Tesla G2, giving us more flexibility to fine-tune the performance and sound quality of our products.

With these advancements, the Tesla G3 optimizes operations and enhances multitasking capabilities in all the new G2.2 and G3 series products, providing you with an unparalleled streaming experience.
