Auralic Aries - Giant Killer?


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

I think it has benefits if you are using the other interfaces - not USB.

Main listening (small home office):

Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >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 :)
