At €950, this AURALiC ARIES S1 is a clear bargain compared to the obvious alternative of buying new, where the unit still costs €1,498 on offer and €1,999 full retail. The asking price sits well below the 25th percentile of €981 from our database of three recent EUR listings, making the median €1,010 and 75th percentile €1,255 feel like a distant reality for this deal.
This streaming processor earns its reputation on the quad-core 64-bit Tesla G3 platform, which delivers eight times the processing power of the older G2 and includes 2GB DDR4 memory for flawless DMA audio handling. It’s Roon Ready, supports high-res formats like DSF and FLAC, and offers extensive connectivity including USB Audio, AirPlay, and Tidal Connect. At this price in good EUR condition, you’re getting a top-tier network streamer with genuine performance upside for system integration—no caveats needed, just a smart buy.

AURALiC was founded in 2009 by Xuanqian Wang and operated as a Hong Kong-based digital-audio specialist. The company built its reputation around the philosophy that high-fidelity audio should be accessible to serious listeners rather than confined to ultra-luxury markets. Though headquartered in Asia, AURALiC maintained a global distribution network and cultivated a dedicated following among audiophiles worldwide.
The brand specialized in digital streaming components and high-resolution audio sources, with their product lineup centered on network streamers such as the Altair, Aries, and Vega models, alongside digital-to-analog converters and integrated streaming solutions. AURALiC positioned itself in the premium mid-to-high-end segment, offering feature-rich, sonically accomplished products that combined innovative technology with thoughtful industrial design. Their ecosystem approach—pairing hardware with mobile control applications—appealed to listeners seeking convenience without compromising sound quality.
AURALiC ceased operations in September 2025 following an 80% sales collapse in that year. The company's decline resulted from converging pressures: US tariff barriers that suspended American sales, intensifying competition from budget streaming alternatives, economic contraction in China, and mounting software-development costs. Founder Wang's departure in January 2025 preceded the company's final dissolution, leaving owners of its premium products without ongoing support or software updates—a cautionary reminder of the vulnerabilities facing even well-regarded independent audio brands.
