As the article in bill_k's link, there was also a great deal of preliminary discussion about the software options going forward in the Auralic owners forum that disappeared. Most unfortunate that the forum was removed as there was lots of useful information about alternative software options. The lack of transparency and communication on Auralic's part is quite disappointing.
Auralic out of business?
My apologies if this is old new but I didn't find anything in the forum. I watched the recent British Audiophile video review of the Lumin U2 Mini and he mentioned that Auralic was no longer "trading" which I take to mean out of business.
Has anyone seen something on this?

@kofibaffour I have done a shoot out between a Wiim Ultra and an Aries 2.1 with Hoer-Wege psu upgrade. They are not even remotely in the same universe sound wise. Wiim is a decent entry level streamer and that's as much praise as it deserves. I have compared my upgraded Aries to top end Aurender units and it slightly bested the Aurender. It also sounded much better than Grimm which I will be putting up for sale shortly. The problem with Grimm is Roon, while having the best software in the business it sounds mediocre.

Seemed like they had a good thing going with their streamers, dacs, amps, preamps.... I've had them all. Still do. Excellent quality streamers, but compared to the competition it seemed to me only a matter of time. Their Streamers were priced VERY high, and the competition is just too good to be offering a black box with 2000's html interface. I bought my G1 and G2 for sound quality and they are still in used today, and I'll hold onto them as long as they last. |
