Introducing the AQUILA X3 Streaming Media Processor
AURALiC has unveiled the AQUILA X3 Streaming Media Processor, an innovative addition to its high-performance audio lineup. The AQUILA X3 represents a leap forward in design and technology, blending cutting-edge streaming capabilities with a bold new aesthetic. Featuring a full-width enclosure, a vivid 14-inch touchscreen display, and a modular architecture, this processor is built to be both visually striking and future-proof. At its core lies the Tesla G3 streaming platform, enhanced by proprietary technologies such as Direct Data Recording (DDR) and Galvanic Isolation. Its advanced software interface and next-generation multi-room streaming protocol, LightningCast, ensure seamless integration with major streaming services like TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, and AirPlay II.

Customizable Design and Advanced Connectivity
The AQUILA X3 is designed with user flexibility in mind, offering a comprehensive range of connectivity options. Its base configuration includes Ethernet and WiFi, Toslink and Coaxial inputs, USB Audio ports, HDMI eARC, and USB 3.0 for external storage. A built-in CD transport further enhances its versatility. Users can tailor their setup with optional modules, including digital and analog output configurations. The analog module features AURALiC’s Fusion DAC Gen II, Integrated LEO Clock, ORFEO Class A output, and passive analog volume control for exceptional audio quality. Additionally, the processor offers up to 8TB of optional internal NVMe storage and an analog/phono input module for flexible signal processing.

State-of-the-Art Power Supply
The AQUILA X3 employs AURALiC’s Variable-Frequency External PSU, utilizing Class AB regeneration technology to provide a clean and stable power source. This power supply eliminates noise and contamination from modern renewable energy grids, ensuring a pristine audio experience. With a user-selectable regen frequency of up to 400Hz, listeners can fine-tune the sound to their preferences. The result is an exceptionally dark audio background and enhanced sound clarity.

Aesthetic Customization for Every Home
For the first time, AURALiC introduces a fully customizable aesthetic with the AQUILA X3. Users can select from trim colors such as Jet Black, Space Grey, and Titanium Gold, along with surface panel options that include aluminum plastic, solid walnut wood, natural slate, and marble. These panels are interchangeable, allowing the AQUILA X3 to complement any décor, from traditional to contemporary. This level of personalization ensures the processor is as unique as its owner.
