It not only accepts music from your home network, streaming providers, Bluetooth or Airplay. Thus, the Altair G1 can be operated without any difficulties – especially in view of its extensive range of functionalities: Every explanation appears directly where you need it – and only there. No questions remain unanswered thanks to this feature, and you save yourself the annoyance of having to flip through an instruction manual. This information is available via the display on the device, the app or the browser interface – the latter works on all types of devices and allows for settings to be changed after entering the Auralic‘s IP address in the browser address field. Every menu item and every option you can select is explained concisely and easy to understand.
AUDIRVANA PLUS VEGA G2 MANUAL
What we particularly liked in working with the Altair G1 is the integration of the user manual into the menu. To name an example: you cannot assign a button on the remote twice, as is standard on many models usually available – the "Okay" button, which often serves as "Play/Pause" at the same time, for example. Nevertheless, the controls never worked quite as smoothly as they would have with a pre-programmed remote. This worked perfectly well for us, and the Auralic reacted quickly and reliably to the inputs given to it by various models from other manufacturers, all of which we "trained" accordingly. To make up for that, you can program any infrared remote via the menu item "Smart IR settings". It should be mentioned that Auralic does not supply a remote (anymore). Like most other settings, these options are also easy to reach using the integrated display, while even their fine-tuning works well via manual control. Even an adaption to the speaker placement is available, including adjustable gain and compensation for differing distances. It features an extensively programmable parametric equalizer, for example. Technically speaking, however, the Auralic already has much more to offer on its own than most of its competitors.
AUDIRVANA PLUS VEGA G2 ANDROID
Both Android and Apple work when choosing that solution – plus you benefit from Roon‘s extensive processing of metadata and DSP features. Thanks to that, the Auralic can also be controlled flawlessly with apps that also run on Android, such as BubbleUPnP, for instance.Īs yet another option, the Altair can also be integrated into a Roon network as an output device thanks to its Roon Ready certification. Lightning DS is however based on the Open Home standard.
Android users are left empty-handed – at least as far as Auralic‘s own application is concerned. The disadvantage of the proprietary solution is that it is currently only available on iOS-based devices. We also never experienced any kind of problems during our time with the Auralic, but were completely satisfied with both performance and connection stability.
AUDIRVANA PLUS VEGA G2 SOFTWARE
This piece of software looks just stunning, operates smoothly and logically, and offers all the necessary functionalities.
In terms of apps, Auralic offers an excellent homemade solution with "Lightning DS". The manual control is also used to confirm a selection and – if activated – to control the volume. The Altair is operated either intuitively using the rotating button on the front, or via apps for tablet and smartphone.
