Commercial AURALiC ALTAIR G1.1 Streamer (Music) The new ALTAIR G1.1 Digital Audio Streamer, with its robust Wi-Fi connectivity and analog output, is a clean one-box solution for all your digital music. It offers a vast number of features and functions, allowing you to stream music from virtually any source. Play from locally stored files on your network, a USB drive, an optional integrated hard drive, as well as AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth sources. Our Lightning Streaming Platform integrates natively with services like Amazon Music, Qobuz, Tidal, KKBOX, Internet Radio, and Spotify Connect. The G1.1
Condition unknown, but at A$13,387 this is well above the typical used market anchor of A$2,994 and even the A$5,961 upper quartile, so it’s clearly ambitious for a used unit. Unless there’s something exceptional here, the price asks a lot versus recent comparables.
That said, the Altair G1.1 is a genuinely strong all-in-one source: refined streaming, solid DAC performance, and the kind of polished digital front end AURALiC is known for. If it’s complete, well cared for, and includes the original box, remote, and any extras, it could still suit a buyer who wants a premium network source and values condition over bargain hunting—but at this figure I’d expect near-new provenance or compelling inclusions.
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.
