Angeboten wird „Altair G2.1“ von Auralic als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Streamer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5256034499 endet am 25.07.2026 um 09:34 Uhr.
Is this one priced like a smart buy? At €1,999, it lands well below the €2,304 25th percentile and far under the €2,591 median for recent used EUR listings, so this looks like a genuine bargain rather than just “reasonable.” For a current-gen AURALiC streamer/DAC, that’s the kind of gap that usually deserves quick attention if the unit is clean and complete.
That matters because the Altair G2.1 has the sort of polished, low-fatigue sound and flexible digital hub functionality that keeps it relevant in serious systems, not just as a box to flip. The best upside here is simple: a strong product at a clearly favorable price, with no real pricing caveat needed unless the listing is missing accessories, shows heavy use, or lacks proof of careful ownership.
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.
