Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a strong deal: €1,750 sits below the recent comparable range’s €1,869 25th percentile and well under the €1,988 median. Even allowing for the listing’s unspecified condition, it is priced like a genuine buying opportunity rather than merely a fair ask.

The Aries G2.1 is a serious digital transport, offering flexible Ethernet/Wi‑Fi streaming, Roon, Qobuz, Tidal, USB storage and extensive outputs including USB, AES/EBU, coaxial and optical. It supports high-resolution PCM and DSD, with memory caching and gapless playback contributing to its polished, stable presentation. Remember that it has no analogue outputs, so a separate DAC is required; otherwise, at €1,750, a clean example with its remote, power supply and accessories is especially attractive.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About AURALiC

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.
