"Pretty Dramatic" Instant Upgrade for AURALiC S1 VEGA and S1 ARIES
You haven't heard your AURALiC S1-series gear until you've heard them with the AURALiC S1 External Purer-Power Supply. Both the ARIES S1 and VEGA S1 have piled up major awards from the audiophile press, and the optional Purer-Power Supply is a deciding factor in their global success.
This easy, must-have upgrade significantly enhances sound quality, offering an unparalleled audio experience for anyone who demands the utmost in performance and fidelity. According to Jason Kennedy at the-ear.net, adding the Purer-Power Supply to the VEGA S1 "was not unlike going from regular video to 4k with a good source. The amount of perceived information seemed to double."
The ARIES S1 benefits just as much. And upgrading is as simple as plugging your S1 into the Purer-Power Supply. You'll be thrilled by the big leap forward in performance.
"The Sound Stage Expanded… and More Beautiful Sound"
In his HiFi Huff channel on YouTube, Steve Huff praises the AURALiC VEGA S1 to the hilt "The AURALiC S1 VEGA without the PSU, first I'll say, was sounding really, really, really, good."
"When I added the dedicated power supply that comes in at an extra grand, things really got more refined. Smoother. The sound stage expanded – and more beautiful sound..."
"This Did Spectacular Things for Imaging"
"Adding the S1 Purer-Power supply and removing the power lead from the VEGA S1 proved to be pretty dramatic," reports Jason Kennedy, the-ear.net, April 22, 2024.
"Now every note had depth and shape, this did spectacular things for imaging which expanded in every dimension and filled the room in a way that made the self-powered streamer seem inhibited. It also felt like the level had increased and the quality of recording likewise, if you like the colours and shapes of stereo sound then this power supply is less of an option and more of a necessity. Detail that had previously been hinted at became solid and real and the presentation relaxed in the process."
Thrill to a Big Leap in Performance
As the reviewers note, the AURALiC ARIES S1 Streaming Processor and VEGA S1 Streaming DAC sound superb right out of the box. But you'll be impressed at the big leap in performance you can achieve by upgrading to the AURALiC S1 External Purer-Power Supply. Both the VEGA and ARIES S1 come with internal linear power supplies, but the Purer-Power has double the capacity and enhanced circuitry for effortlessly running their processors.
The Purer-Power linear power supply reduces DC current noise by as much as 90dB with its power purification module. Using a specially designed transformer and unique wiring that minimizes vibration, noise from Purer-Power is kept below 1uV across the audible spectrum, leaving you to discover the details in your music, down to the last bit.
Doubles the Power Capacity for Enhanced Performance
This optional upgrade unit bypasses the internal power supply of the ARIES S1 and VEGA S1, doubling the power capacity for enhanced performance. Featuring two dedicated transformers and Purer-Power low noise power supply circuits, the upgraded unit ensures a total galvanic isolation between the Tesla G3 processing circuit and audio circuits. This separation eliminates interference and minimizes noise, resulting in superior sonic performance that elevates your listening experience to new heights.
Award-Winning Sound
"The new ARIES S1 is one of Auralic's best-ever products – and that's really saying something," notes David Price in his review for stereonet.com, which honored the ARIES S1 with the Purer-Power Supply with an Applause Award.
"The add-on power supply adds even more confidence and naturalness to the sound… The pair make a formidable combination, and it's hard to imagine how the sound could really be further improved – until you start spending mega money on super-fi streaming DACs. Even flying solo, the ARIES S1 is, to a very large extent, limited only by the sound of the digital-to-analogue converter you attach it to – and, of course, the quality of the music files you're streaming."
Don't Wait to Upgrade
Don't wait to upgrade your AURALiC S1 gear. You will be thrilled by the performance enhancement as you hear details in your music you've never experienced before.
The Purer-Power Supply is fuse protected and has an on/off switch and a ground lug. It comes with a jumper cable for connection to the AURALiC ARIES S1 Streaming Processor or VEGA S1 Streaming DAC. It requires an AC power cable with IEC end (not included).
"Outstanding Price-Performance Ratio"
Michael Holzinger in his hifi.blog review for November 22, 2024, gave the ARIES S1 with the Purer-Power Supply an "Excellent" rating.
"What you get here is nothing less than a flexible solution for streaming at a remarkable level of quality, in which AURALiC Ltd. already brings a lot to the table that makes its products so unique. Here you get it at an outstanding price-performance ratio."
