The Auralic Vega S1 is a full-featured, high-end Hi-Fi device capable of performing a variety of functions as a streamer, DAC and preamplifier. Its integrated proprietary Fusion DAC and analog preamplifier stage enable it to be directly coupled to a power amplifier to get the best out of your music source. The custom converter, based on Delta-Sigma and R2R technologies, can handle sampling rates up to PCM 32bit 384kHz and native DSD512.
This network player benefits from a Tesla G3 processor coupled with DMA (Direct Memory Access) technology. It provides access to streaming services such as Amazon Music, Qobuz, Tidal and Spotify, and is Roon Ready certified for intuitive, convenient access to files hosted on a local network. Additional functions such as tone control, CD ripping via USB and a beautiful color display will bring great satisfaction to every user.
Furthermore, the Auralic Vega S1's connector interface offers a wealth of possibilities. Inputs include a USB-B input, a coaxial SPDIF input, two Toslink optical inputs, and a USB-A port (USB Host). Signal output is via balanced XLR or single-ended RCA.
The functionalities of the Vega S1 network player are based on the Tesla G3 platform, featuring a Quad-core 64bit processor with 2GB of memory and Direct Access Memory (DMA) technology for a considerable reduction in jitter and latency when the various components of the Vega S1 need to access its memory. This network player, which supports UPnP and DLNA protocols, not only provides access to a local network, but also to numerous streaming platforms: Amazon music, Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, TuneIn. It also works with Airplay and is Roon Ready certified.
Auralic's proprietary Fusion DAC combines the best of the R2R and Delta Sigma discrete DACs. Fusion DAC consists in part of bypassing certain functionalities of a manufacturer's high-performance DAC chip by developing its own technologies. This allows only the DAC chip to be used for the final conversion process, for unrivalled sound quality.
The Vega S1 features a Class A ORFEO preamplifier module, allowing the Vega S1 to be directly coupled to a power amplifier. However, the preamplifier function can be deactivated by Software to lower the output level to 2V and couple the device to another preamplifier. In addition, R2R volume control via a resistor network incorporating 8 relays eliminates noise and distortion when volume is changed.
The Vega S1 can read and rip a CD at the same time, or simply perform one of the two operations. Metadata is directly recognized, whether for ripping or simple playback.
Pure DAC mode allows you to disable the functionality of the network player section, allowing all power to be used for digital-to-analog conversion. This function also enables you to use the DDR (Direct Data Recording) function to record the last hour of playback directly into the Tesla G3 system.
Several filters and a tone control allow you to adjust the sound rendering and give it a specific character according to the user's taste or the style of music being played.
The Vega S1 can be controlled remotely using Auralic's proprietary Lightning DS application. This iOS-exclusive app lets you play your music from multiple sources, including local files, simply, thanks to an elegant, ergonomic interface.
