Future of AURALiC Brand Uncertain After Shutdown

After months of uncertainty, AURALiC Ltd., known for its high-end streaming solutions, has shut down its business. Industry insiders point to falling sales, supply chain issues, and the withdrawal of its founder as key factors. Whether the company’s intellectual property will be acquired and preserved remains unclear.
AURALiC Ltd., renowned for its high-end streaming solutions since 2009, has ceased operations after major sales declines and market withdrawals. The brand’s future remains uncertain, though European distributors pledge ongoing service support.

I don´t post links to any other forums, but just google it

I have an Auralic Aries G1 streamer, I wonder: Will it suddenly stop working?
When there is no online Auralic accounts, you are not able to setup and use streamer without an Auralic account, will it stop working when it cannot connect to the cloud account?
will the Lightning DS app suddenly stop working with a new iOS version?
Will future changes to Tidal or Qobus suddenly leave the streaming functions non-workable?

I think it is hard to say. However, based on past situations, I would expect the units to become downgraded and increasingly useless over time.

I don't understand the popularity of streamers. I have never owned a brand streamer. However, I do a lot of streaming and with very high quality. I use computers, an HTPC on out living room system and an HTPC and DAW in the studio, both the latter are DIY. I can grab anything I want at the highest quality and don't have to worry about businesses failing or shutting down. Computers are the hassle free way to stream, and I think the most cost effective.


I use one of these in the living room and another in my wife's office.

In my opinion, that approach is the most versatile way to stream and delivers the highest SQ and video quality.

Same here - HTPC is my thing also.

I never got into streamers. That's why I never heard of Auralic.
