Auralic ARIES G2 Streaming Transporter

Posted by: nbpf on 31 May 2017

An intriguing upcoming device along the lines of Raspberry Pi & HifiBerry DIGI+ Pro, Sonore microRendu, Auralic Aries, Melco, etc. It comes with comprehensive outputs and local storage and could be all what one needs to directly feed an SPDIF DAC and to serve music over the LAN to UPnP clients. It can also act as a Roon endpoint.

Any experiences with the Lightning Server and, more generally, with interoperability (or lack thereof) between Naim and Auralic products?

Thanks, nbpf

Thanks audio1946! Do you know which UPnP server is Lightning based upon? Is this flexible enough for classical music collections? How does it compare to MinimServer? Does it allow users to define user-specific indexes like, for instance "Work", "Period", "Ensemble", etc.? Does the platform work well with Naim DACs and streamers? Thanks, nbpf
