Article: AURALiC ARIES MINI and Lightning DS Review

[Cornan]

Love that review Chris! I absolutely love my Aries Mini and think it is a a device that can grow with you for a very long time. Adding a better wireless router, better DAC, better cables and better PSU and you are in heaven! I personally use BubbleDS Next as a control point for Aries Mini and think it actually sounds slightly better (with Tidal as source in my setup) than LightningDS.

Can't believe how people can live with the restrictions of the LightningDS app.

Did they never use a full featured app like JRiver Mediacenter?

 

For me personally JRiver was one of the worst experiances ever..both in usabillity and SQ. Do yourself a favour and atleast try JplayStreamer with BubbleDS Next which is a major step-up in SQ IMO. Even the latest version of LigthingDS is better than JRiver to me.
