Brand new for 2023, The AURALiC VEGA G2.2 streaming DAC represents the latest evolution in high-end DAC performance and cutting-edge analogue circuitry. AURALiC is at the forefront of digital audio technology, continuously pushing the boundaries with innovative new technologies.
Both the AURALiC VEGA G2.2 and G3 build upon the already impressive foundation of their predecessor, the G2.1, retaining key features such as the AURALiC’s proprietary Fusion DAC structure, Direct Data Recording (DDR), Galvanic Isolation, passive analogue volume control, and analogue pre-amplifier. The unique architecture of VEGA G2.2 and G3 avoids using a PLL circuit as it cannot fully remove the distortion and jitter present in the original clock signal. Instead, it records the audio data directly into the Tesla G3 processing platform’s system memory in binary format, bypassing the original clock signal entirely. As a result of these cutting-edge technologies, the VEGA G2.2 and G3 are immune to the input signal’s distortion and jitter, delivering the highest level of sound quality possible.
The G2.2 and G3 models from AURALiC are due for official release at the 2023 Munich High-End show in May and demonstration stock will be with us very soon after that, so please get in touch if you’d like to arrange an audition.
Both VEGA G2.2 and G3 now incorporate the advanced Tesla G3 platform, providing a significant boost to their processing power and capabilities.
Additionally, new dual 60fs Femto Clocks powers the DAC operation and time the Tesla G3’s data output to the DAC. The result is an unparalleled listening experience, with stunning detail, clarity, and precision that is free from any distortion or jitter.
VEGA G2.2 and G3 represent a significant upgrade to already impressive benchmarks, offering advanced features and exceptional performance that will satisfy even the most demanding listener.
• Proteus X1 Co-Processor
The Proteus X1 in the VEGA G3 is an advanced technology built around a Xilinx XC7A200T FPGA chip,
featuring over 200,000 logic cells and 740 DSP slices. This chip shares the Tesla G3’s 4GB DDR4 system
memory, allowing for powerful data processing capabilities. Unlike in the ARIES G3, the Proteus in the
VEGA G3 exclusively processes the signal with advanced digital filter and oversampling, ensuring that all
input signals work at the DAC’s optimal sampling frequency.
The algorithm running inside Proteus X1 of VEGA G3 is specially optimised processing the music signal
from online sources, whether it is through the built-in streamer or the digital inputs. This optimisation
significantly improves the listening experience for music that may not be available in highest resolution
format.
• Better DAC, Higher Performance
The VEGA G3 incorporates the same Fusion DAC design as the VEGA 2.2, but with an important upgrade:
a final output switch network for analogue conversion at an even higher level of precision. This advancement results in a significant 30% reduction in distortion and noise and a 50% improvement in dynamic range, making the VEGA G3 an exceptional choice for even the most discerning listeners seeking
unparalleled audio performance.
• Pure DAC Mode
Pure DAC mode in the VEGA G3 allows for an optimised signal path by disabling the streaming capabilities of the device. This feature is especially beneficial for users who prefer to rely on other methods for streaming their audio content. With Pure DAC mode, the VEGA G3 provides the cleanest possible signal path, resulting in a high-quality audio playback experience.
