Also included are AES/EBU, coaxial, Toslink, USB device to computer and two USB host ports for attaching storage or an external DAC.

    Altair is based on AURALiC’s award-winning VEGA digital audio processor and Lightning streaming platform. Launched in 2014, Lightning is the first streaming solution to support quad-rate DSD and PCM up to 32 bit/384kHz over a WiFi network. Lightning streaming offers several innovative and unique features such as gapless playback, on-device playlist, memory cache and bit-perfect multi-room functions. The platform is maintained and continually developed by AURALiC’s in-house software R&D team, to ensure customers are regularly updated with new features through the product’s automatic software update system.
