That is not good.

Seems Auralic have ceased trading, and I thought they made good kit.

AURALiC Ceases Trading Effective Immediately

The rumour mill has been swirling for some months now about the long-term future of the high-end streaming brand, AURALiC.

Many more victims of tariffs to follow

The tariffs have significantly increased the cost of importing goods, making it economically unfeasible for AURALiC to continue shipping to the U.S.

Earlier this year, AURALiC suspended all shipments to US addresses, citing "US government tariff policy" as the reason. This decision effectively shut the company out of what was likely a crucial segment of the global high-end audio market, and the suspension has reportedly contributed to a dramatic decline in overall sales.

It seems that if a company cannot continue to function without US sales then perhaps many more will follow as you suggest.

AI just threw this up; Auralic's G2.2 and G3 product lines are designed in the USA, with components like the ARIES G3 and VEGA G3 being hand-built at their Oregon facility, making them a "US made" option within Auralic's own product range.

For sure. I guess adding to the retail price for US buyers would have been a no-go scenario. However, the world is a big place and surprised one nation could halt production.
Jaguar / Land Rover aren't producing anything at the moment but no sign of them shutting up shop.

Wedgewood as well. I think they have shut down production for 3 months.

I really hope there's a buyer for the Auralic brand, if it sinks, then expect prices to fall on their premium streamers.

But who is going to buy a streamer with zero support? Great while it works, but when it suddenly doesn't, you've got an expensive paperweight.
