Auralic introduced the Aquila X3 Streaming Media Processor, a groundbreaking addition to its product line. This release marks a significant step forward in both design and technology, showcasing a bold new design language and cutting-edge streaming innovations, the company says.
The Aquila X3 features full-width enclosure with a sleek, modern appearance, a 14-inch touchscreen display, and a modular architecture that allows users to customize and upgrade their device over time.
According to the press release, at the core of the Aquila is the company's proprietary Tesla G3 streaming platform supported by Direct Data Recording (DDR), Galvanic Isolation and many other unique technologies. Auralic developed an intuitive new software interface for Aquila X3, which seamlessly integrates with leading streaming services, including Lightning DS, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay2 and more.
The Aquila X3 provides a wide array of connectivity options in its base configuration. These include Ethernet and WiFi, two Toslink inputs, one Coaxial input, USB Audio ports (USB-B at the rear and USB-C on the front), HDMI eARC, USB 3.0 for external storage, and a built-in CD transport.
Users can tailor the device to their specific needs with optional modules, choosing between digital and analog output configurations or both. The analog output module incorporates Auralic’s latest proprietary Fusion DAC Gen II, Integrated LEO Clock, ORFEO Class A output module and ORFEO passive analog volume control, while an optional analog and phono input module allows for flexible signal processing, offering either an analog-only signal path or on-board ADC functionality for recording and processing via the Tesla G3 platform. For those seeking expansive storage, an 8TB of NVMe optional internal storage is also available.
Users can fully customize the aesthetic of their device. Available trim colors include Jet Black, Space Grey, and Titanium Gold, while surface panel options span aluminum plastic, solid walnut wood, natural slate and marble. These surface panels are designed to be easily interchangeable, allowing the Aquila X3 to seamlessly complement any home decor, from traditional to contemporary.
Starting at $14,999 USD (approximately €14,499 /£11,499, excluding VAT and taxes), the Aquila X3 is available through Auralic’s premium dealers starting in April.
