Understanding the Technology

AURALiC streaming devices have the ability to work with different technologies and

control software. The most common way to operate your new streamer is in Lightning

mode. This is when you take full advantage of our Lightning Streaming Platform by

controlling it with our iOS App Lightning DS or another OpenHome protocol based

control software. When operating in Lightning mode, there are three fundamental

elements to the system: Renderer, Server, and Controller. The Renderer is the physical

device that plays the music, e.g. ARIES G2.2. The Server provides the music library. When

playing files stored locally on your network, the server can be our Lightning Server or

any other DLNA-based server. If you use an internet streaming service like Qobuz, Tidal,

or Amazon Music, that platform acts as the server as well.

The Controller is the software you use to browse and select music. With AURALiC

products, you have the freedom to choose from a number of different Controller

options. When operating in Lightning mode, you can use our Lightning DS App or any

OpenHome protocol based software such as BubbleUPnP or Kazoo as your controller.

Operating in this mode allows the Renderer to fetch the music data directly from the

Server without passing through the Controller. Since Lightning mode is an integral part

of our system, it allows us to apply some advanced technologies, like our memory cache,

to optimize the sound quality. This feature preloads the music data from the server into

the Renderer’s memory, allowing it to be played bit-perfect from the most pristine

environment possible.

Your AURALiC streamer can also work in many ways other than Lightning mode. If you

prefer the Roon ecosystem, the ARIES G2.2 will operate seamlessly as a certified

RoonReady endpoint. It also works directly with TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, and

provides the option of an AirPlay or Bluetooth connection. Each of these systems has its

own specific operating environment, which requires us to bypass our memory cache

system. Some of the other processing features available via Lightning mode may be

disabled as well. Your ARIES G2.2 will sound slightly different when using these software

options, but not necessarily worse. Each of these systems uses its own technology to

optimize for sound quality.

Network Requirements

Our Lightning streaming technology utilizes SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol), a

network package that facilitates communication between Lightning DS and your

streaming device. However, poorly designed routers and network switches often

mishandle SSDP, causing issues. We have encountered WiFi routers that fail to broadcast

SSDP messages effectively between Ethernet and WiFi connected devices or within the

same WiFi network. If you are using a low-cost WiFi router provided by your ISP, it is

likely to be insufficient for this task, resulting in difficulties finding the streaming

device within Lightning DS or experiencing significant delays in device detection.

The ability to stream Netflix or play Pandora on your smart speaker does not necessarily

guarantee that your router can handle specific multicasting (SSDP) messages without

dropouts or block certain (IGMP/ICMP) data packets that AURALiC Lightning devices rely

on for optimal performance. In many cases, lower-performing routers provided by your

Internet Service Provider may struggle with this type of traffic due to their firmware

limitations. Additionally, a weak WiFi connection can also impact the transmission of

these UDP discovery data packets, even if your other data connections appear to be

functioning as they should.

We recommend upgrading to a high-performance aftermarket router manufactured by

reputable brands like Netgear, ASUS, or Linksys to resolve these issues and ensure the

best streaming experience.

It's worth noting that some enterprise-level network routers and switches implement

additional security measures that require specific configuration to enable SSDP

messages, those security measures may also block IGMP/ICMP messages which are

essential for your AURALiC devices to join your network properly. If you are using this

type of equipment, we advise consulting an IT professional for assistance in setting up

the firewall policy correctly.
