Distinctive Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 And the Aries hooked up to the AudioByte Hydra-Z might happen to be just what the doctor ordered compared with cost no object solutions. Link to comment
DanRubin Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The nw Aurender N100 and N10 look very intriguing and may be likely to fit the bill. The Sonore Sig Rendu is IMHO, a tad too geeky, for a simple hifi system. I agree with this and am very curious to get reports on SQ of the new Aurenders compared to, say, the SSR and Aries.

Jimmypowder Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I agree with this and am very curious to get reports on SQ of the new Aurenders compared to, say, the SSR and Aries. The one thing I wish the Aurender had was more digital outputs . Only usb . The Aries has multiple digital outputs which helps If you have some Dacs that sound better using spdif then USB .

fritzg Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Are there serious deficiencies in the Aries LE for those of us a bit more budget minded? Also, could you compare this to a Mac Mini setup? What do you see as the advantage of the Aries over a Mac Mini? Link to comment
fritzg Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Also, does a Synology NAS need minimserver to work with the Auralic Aries? The standard DLNA server doesn't work? Link to comment

Hi fritzg, Minimserver is free and comes standard with the Synology NAS. It is better than Synology's MediaServer as it handles more formats. Link to comment

You come to this forum and do nothing but complain about the Aries. Please do us a favor and buy a new streamer, get rid of the Aries. I'm tired of your rants that have been going on for months now. The rants are serving no purpose anymore. Link to comment

Jimmypowder Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Oh jimmy sweetie... If only I could point to a post of yours with more than zero content... Your posts on the Aries are just a repeat of the same rants you posted over a month ago. Thus your continual negative posts about the Aries make you sound like a parrot . Just get rid of the Aries and buy something else . Geez . Link to comment
Jimmypowder Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Oh jimmy sweetie... If only I could point to a post of yours with more than zero content... By the way , many forums would have banned you by now for your continual never ending repeating of the same complaints about a product . Link to comment
