AURALiC Aries G1 Streamer (Music) As with all of my gear, this presents and performs as new in all original packaging and double box. A beautiful quality streamer at this price and plenty of reviews online. Thanks. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, PayID, Cash on Pickup, PayPal (can incur extra fees) Region/State: (QLD) Queensland/Australia By audiophile_501 2 Comments Secure Ad AUD $1,650 Date: March 21Mar 21
At A$1,650, this sits below the comparable market median of A$1,739 and just under the 25th percentile of A$1,720, so it reads as a strong buy rather than merely fair. For a like-new unit, that’s a tidy entry point in a small sample where most asking prices are clearly higher.
The appeal of this model is its reputation as a clean, refined digital transport: silent operation, strong network handling, and a presentation that tends to sound composed and effortless in a resolving system. In like_new condition, the upside is getting a well-regarded streamer/transport at a price that leaves room for cabling or a better power supply if you want to tune the last few percent.
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.
