You can also create On-Device Playlists, listen to Internet Radio, or stream music sto
The Aries G1 is a well-regarded streamer/transport, but this asking price is far above the local used market anchor: at A$13,387, it sits well past the A$4,640 75th percentile and is roughly 7.7× the median A$1,730. On the supplied comparables, that makes it ambitious rather than fair, and it would need something exceptional to justify the premium.
What buyers value here is the Aries G1’s reputation for clean digital playback, strong app control, and a genuinely audiophile-focused feature set; it’s the kind of box that can slot into a serious system without sounding like a compromise. If it’s truly in excellent condition with original packaging, remote, and power supply, that helps, but at this price the upside is mostly for a collector or someone chasing a very specific package, not a value buyer.

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.
