Ladder Resistor Volume Control
The Auralic ALTAIR G2.2 incorporates a high-performance analogue ladder resistor volume control, recognised for its ability to preserve dynamic range while reducing both signal level and noise floor, unlike digital volume control. It uses eight coil-latch relays that consume no power or emit EMI noise when inactive, ensuring a noise-free and distortion-free experience. Once set, the system remains electronically transparent, enhancing the audio performance.
Unmatched Audio Quality
To achieve exceptional dynamic range, the ALTAIR G2.2 employs high-speed galvanic isolators between the Tesla G3 processing platform and the sensitive audio circuit. These isolators provide complete separation, protecting the DAC from noise interference while enabling flawless data transfer. As a result, the ALTAIR G2.2 delivers unmatched audio clarity, revealing the finest details in your music.
