The 2nd generation of AURALiC’s Flexible Filter Mode makes an appearance in the
VEGA G2 for a nuanced level of user-selected control over audio output. It includes
four filter modes developed using a combination of objective data models and
subjective testing, with each mode assembling a unique array of filters to match the
sonic qualities of the source. Precise Mode maximizes in-band ripple and out-band
attenuation performance for example, while Smooth Mode eliminates pre-ringing.
Dynamic and Balance Modes round out the available options that provide an extra
level of control over your listening.

Dual Linear Purer-Power
AURALiC’s Purer-Power technology already re-examined every detail of power
delivery with innovative wiring and circuit designs based on the concepts of isolation
and purification. The VEGA G2 takes that approach a step further by including
two
internal Purer-Power linear power supplies, separating and protecting distinct power
circuits from interference. The first Purer-Power supply feeds the VEGA G2’s
processing circuit, LCD display, and network interface. The second Purer-Power
pathway is dedicated to sensitive audio components such as the D/A converter, the
Femto clock, and the analog circuit. Both power supplies are galvanically isolated
from each other to ensure zero EMI interference between them.

Lightning Link
Lightning Link is a low-jitter, bi-directional 18Gbps coupling that takes advantage of
high-speed HDMI-type hardware connectors to provide a superior level of
transmission control, making today’s ultra-high resolution digital music shine like
never before. Different from the other HDMI-based I2S connections, the bi-
directional Lightning Link opens the door to jitter-free operation of
all
the devices in
your system.
Clocking information from VEGA G2 can drive the timing of other G2
devices such as ARIES G2, for perfect data synchronization. Lightning Link also carries
system control data for everything from volume control to processor engine setup,
allowing all linked AURALiC devices to appear in a single, unified control interface.

Unity Chassis
The VEGA G2 is housed in a completely redesigned enclosure – the
Unity Chassis
. It’s
machined from a single billet of aluminum and specifically designed for the premium
lineup of AURALiC G Series products, right down to mass balancing and the shape of
its foot spikes. The Unity Chassis excels at shielding the inner workings of the VEGA
G2 from EMI and providing superior dampening and absorption, reflecting the
obsessive attention to noise reduction throughout the G Series.
