G2.2 For Auralic Altair
Tesla G3 Rollout Reaches Networked Dac/Preamp
Having previously introduced the 64-bit Tesla G3 processing platform to its Vega G2.2 DAC/streamer and Aries G2.2 digital server/player , Auralic has now turned its focus to the Altair range. The new Altair G2.2 DAC/preamp (£5299) marries its boosted processing base to hardware upgrades including a 'Fusion DAC', Direct Data Recording (DDR) reclocking, and galvanic isolation of audio and processing circuits. The Class A output, with resistor ladder volume control, claims an increased 4.4V to 6V output.
The Altair G2.2's black alloy chassis has a full-colour display and headphone output; with USB, network, coax/opt and HDMI eARC digital ins; balanced and unbalanced analogue outs.
