Angeboten wird „Auralic Vega S1Streamer/DAC“ von Auralic als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Streamer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5778539376 endet am 02.08.2026 um 08:34 Uhr.
This is ambitious: at €1,350 it sits above the 75th percentile (€1,168) of your recent comparable EUR listings, so it’s priced at a premium rather than as a typical-market buy. Against a €980 median and €792–€1,168 interquartile range, I’d want either exceptional cosmetics, very low use, or a notably complete package to justify the spread.
That said, the VEGA has a strong reputation as a clean, resolving DAC with a polished, spacious presentation, so it’s the kind of piece worth paying up for if the condition is genuinely as advertised. A well-kept example with original packaging, remote, and documented ownership has real upside for a buyer who wants to plug in and be done, but at this price I’d still want proof that everything is fully working and cosmetically tight before moving fast.
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.
