AURALiC Aries G1 Music Streamer I’m going down a much simpler route and selling my black Auralic Aries G1. This needs no introduction. Works via wifi or wired connection, the Aries G1 connects directly to Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify Connect and as a Roon endpoint I purchased this new from Audio Influence in May 2022. I’ve loved the sound but I’m simplifying things and going down the single box (actually two boxes), route. Also included is genuine Auralic remote which is a separate, optional purchase. It’s in perfect working order and excellent condition. I have the original double-box packing so it
At A$2,000, this is a fair-to-good ask for an Aries G1 in excellent condition, sitting a bit under the common used zone I’d expect for a clean unit; new pricing has historically been around A$5,000, and good used examples tend to cluster roughly A$1,800–A$3,500 depending on condition and inclusions. That puts this listing closer to the sensible end of the market than the ambitious end, though not quite a standout bargain unless it includes the box, remote, and full original accessories.
The Aries G1 is well regarded because it’s a serious streaming transport: quiet, solidly built, and strong as a digital front end feeding a good DAC. Buyers like it for its stable network performance, broad format support, and the fact that it can still feel “high-end” in a modern setup without paying new retail. For this one, the main upside is a clean, well-kept sample at a sane ask; I’d confirm included cables, antennas, remote, and packaging, since those add real resale value and make life easier if you ever move it on.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
