Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The timing is still good: the ARIES G2.2 remains AURALiC’s modern G2-generation streamer rather than an obsolete first-generation model. At €4,299, though, this is ambitious used pricing: it sits well above the recent comparable median of €3,168 and above the €3,644 75th percentile. Unless it includes desirable extras, patience or negotiation is warranted.

The G2.2 is a serious digital front end, with the fast Tesla G3 platform, quiet power supply, broad output options including AES/EBU and USB, and strong support for Roon, Qobuz, Tidal, AirPlay and local libraries. Optional internal NVMe storage can add genuine usefulness, but the listing should specify whether it is fitted and confirm the original remote, accessories and packaging. At a lower figure, this would be a compelling buy; at €4,299, it needs exceptional condition or a valuable storage option to make sense.

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.
