eltee00 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Considering how expensive the digital streamer's are getting with Aurender costing as much as $5k+, could this Auralic unit challenge other brands to put out high quality unit that is more cost friendly? AURALiC formally launch Aries digital audio streamers | Digital Audio Review by John Darko One question I'm unsure about is whether it has any benefits to have a femto clock on the streamer side. I thought that with async usb, it will only benefit from having a clock on the DAC side. Link to comment
firedog Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think it has benefits if you are using the other interfaces - not USB. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +_iFi AC iPurifiers >Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Conditioning+Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment
eltee00 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 That's what I thought too but press release is saying that it has a femto clock for USB output as well. "...ARIES (with two individual Femto clocks for both USB audio host and digital outputs" Link to comment
