Back For More, Back For You As a premium digital hub for any high-performance system, the ALTAIR Gl software and hardware functions in much the same way as the original ALTAIR, able to act as a preamp, a DAC, a streamer, and an all-in-one digital source. ALTAIR Gl is now fitted with Gl chassis, providing a matching color display and Smart IR feature. Also worthy of note, the new ES 9038Q2M conversion chip providing the user with more detail and perceived resolution than ever before.
