About Auralic
AURALiC is a Chinese-American high-end digital audio company founded in 2009 by Xuanqian Wang and Yuan Wang following their inspiration at a Berliner Philharmoniker concert in 2008. Originating in Beijing with additional operations in Portland, Oregon, AURALiC has pioneered streaming audio technology for over a decade. The company introduced the world's first asynchronous USB DAC (ARK MX, 2010), first DSD128-capable USB DAC (VEGA, 2012), and first streaming bridge (ARIES, 2014). With G2.2 and G3 products designed in the USA and hand-built in Oregon, AURALiC's Lightning streaming platform represents the most advanced ecosystem for high-resolution music streaming, serving over 300 authorized global reselling partners while maintaining focus on bringing audiophiles closer to the heart of music.
