Auralic Support


About two years ago I bought  an Auralic Aries G1.1 Wireless Streaming Transporter from Audio Advisor.  I understand that Auralic is no longer in business.  Their support site no longer exists.  What, if any, support can I get on this product? 

Perhaps one of you can answer my question.  The G1.1 sounds great, but lately it has quit streaming on Tidal after playing six or eight songs.  Then it displays an error msg" Unable to play selected streaming track.  I have determined that if I go to the Tidal setting (in the Arualic Lightning app) that I can clear the cache and the streamer will play again for six or eight songs and then the same error message appears.

I do not believe this is a Tidal issue. I havs deleted and signed into Tidal a couple of times with the result.  As well, I have a Cambridge MXN10 streamer on my desktop that is plugged into the same ethernet switch as my G1.1 and it has no problems.  Cambridge uses the same smart device interface associated with Auralic.

I suspect that the G1.1 has a firmware issue because Auralic no longer updates.  Whatever the issue, it is a damned shame that an expensive piece of gear can be so quickly consigned to the scrap heap because the manufacturer no longer supports it.  I have written to Audio Advisor for advice but haven't received an answer yet.

Any suggestions?

I came close to buying the top Auralic streamer at one point. Went with Innuos instead, which feels lucky at this point. I don't think there was any signs at the time that Auralic was anything other than a very well established competitor at the top of that category, so it is surprising they folded.

What about using Roon? It has a monthy cost so maybe not a perfect solution, but you could at least try for a month and see if their Tidal playback engine solves the problem for you. That would buy you more time until you eventually figure out what device you want to move to.
