Auralic Aries Mini


Recommended Posts

just bought an Aries mini for my girlfriend's house

she works for the largest italian internet provider but... she has no network/internet connection at home O.o

(... females! 9_9)

 

question: will it work with just a USB HD?

(setup will be done at my house *with* an internet connection ;))

a web interface, still limited to device settings only, is already there and working under firmware 5.x (beta for Aries and Aries mini)

tried sorting by last modification date?

I keep my albums sorted by date added, in Roon, and found the above gives quite similar results in Lightning DS that, btw, now and then reloads everything from scrath 9_9

Any thoughts about getting something like that done?

 

no idea why but... at some point Auralic changed the way sorting works (and I immediately reported, and complained, about it) >:(

 

up to Lightning DS 3.x changing sort criteria did just rearrange albums (all of them) accordingly

then (in v4.x, I believe) all these damn' folders came out 9_9

at the very top of the list of folders is one folder named 'View All Dates'

 

oh, wow: thank you so much :)

never noticed before as, as I wrote, I'm using Roon for my local files and Lightning DS just to stream Qobuz ;)
