Tesla Platform
The AURALiC Tesla Platform is at the heart of the VEGA G2’s processing power. Built
around a Quad-Core A9 chip, with 1GB DDR3 memory and 4GB of storage, the VEGA
G2 runs at a whopping 25,000 MIPS – 25 times faster than the processor found in
the original VEGA. That allows for the introduction of more sophisticated filter
algorithms and oversampling techniques than ever before. As always, automatic
updates keep the VEGA G2 up to date with the latest feature set and support,
continually expanding its functionality and ensuring peak performance.

Digital Audio Galvanic Isolation
Physically separating electrical circuits while allowing data to flow between them,
Digital Audio Galvanic Isolation in the VEGA G2 offers a new level of protection
against electromagnetic interference. We’ve designed a high speed galvanic isolator
that’s configured between primary circuits in the VEGA G2. The noise-sensitive D/A
converter, Femto Clock and analog circuit are isolated from the central processing
circuit, eliminating EMI noise and contributing to unparalleled sound quality.

Full Passive Volume Control
Years of development at AURALiC have resulted in yet another brand-new feature
appearing in the VEGA G2 – a high-performance, low power, fully passive volume
control. The fact that most relays need to draw power whether their status is ‘closed’
or ‘open’ is not only inefficient, but their always-energized coils also generate
significant levels of EMI noise, adversely affecting sound quality. The eight coil-latch
relays driving the VEGA G2’s R-2R resistor ladder attenuator network draw no
current once set. That fully passive, zero-current system means…zero noise. It’s an
expensive solution to construct, but when the goal is precise control and
uncompromising sound quality, it’s worth every penny.

ORFEO Class-A Output Module
Inspired by the classic Neve 8078 analog console circuit design, the ORFEO Class-A
Output Module found in the VEGA G2 is capable of driving various loads, matching
the characteristics of different power amplifiers. ORFEO uses small signal
components with excellent linear characteristics, thermally balanced and biased into
Class-A to achieve open loop distortion of less than 0.001%. In the VEGA G2, ORFEO
has been optimized for lower noise while maintaining the ability to drive 600ohm
loads without increasing distortion.
