Jagged edges for converted .ai files

Using IM 6.6.6-3 Q16, Mac, through Terminal

When I convert an .ai file, I get super aliased lines.
Original:
http://cl.ly/0a2343181E0d2s0W1V2s
Converted:
http://cl.ly/2W0k0A1o322U0s1V3x1B

I have tried high -density and then resizing it, as well as a couple of random option, but I always get these jagged lines.

Is it possible to get these smoothed out, or is it just a product of the conversion that I will have to deal with?

Thanks!

post your ai file and the exact command line.

you may also want to upgrade as your output is PNG and there have been many changes to PNG processing over the last number of release. see the changelog http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php

Yeah, I have tried both png and jpeg with the same problem. I will update anyway.

The file is here:

It's a single artboard file.

Thanks.

Set density BEFORE reading the AI file.
