Streamers

This is a useful device that gives any amp or device with a USB input Bluetooth capability. For many of our clients this is a simple little upgrade to an amp to get some wireless functionality.

Bluetooth is never as good as getting a streamer and using a Wi-Fi or internet connection for your Wireless music needs. If you're a bit more particular with sound quality or getting high resolution files, check out our range of streamers.

Having said that, this is a useful device for filling a purpose.

Our Impressions

Every time we think we've got this Hi-Fi thing figured out, something comes along that forces us to reassess the conventions.

The Phantom is a genuine rethink of the transducer using all that's available in 21st century technology.

You only have to hear one once to know how different this is and how simply much more capable as a loudspeaker than anything else that is available that pretends to be a wireless loudspeaker speaker with built instreaming.

This is what other wireless loudspeakers want to be when they grow up. However they can only ever aspire to the beauty and performance endemic to the Devialet Phantom

The Auralic Aries G1 is a new addition to the stable here at Carlton Audio Visual and it's been an impressive one!

It is 'only' a transport so you'll need to pair it with a high quality DAC. But as with everything in the Hi-Fi world when you can separate out the components, you can maximise the sound quality. Separate power supplies and separate chassis, so individual circuits don't inadvertently interfere with one another, are crucial.

This unit is the successor to the original Auralic Aries and it has big boots to fill. Many consider that unit to be what brought Hi-res network streaming to the discerning world of the everyday Audiophile. But the Aries G1 is certainly up to the job.

So how to describe how this streaming transport sounds. The best way to describe it is resolving. A cleaness and a delicacy in the music is revealed.

A truly stunning piece of kit and will be the unit of choice for those passionate about their music and needing an excellent quality streaming device that's not up at the $10K mark.

Vega in the Auralic range was once purely a DAC, it is now a streamer and DAC built into one chassis. And it's an all-encompassing front end, if there ever was one. This unit is perfect for people who maybe have a stand alone CD player and/or a Turntable but want to delve into the world of streaming.

If you already have an excellent DAC or your CD player has digital ins, then the Aries series may be the way to go. Otherwise Vega has you covered with a superior DAC and overall exceptional build quality.

This attention to detail in the build equates to a sound that is highly resolving and uniquely musical!
