Auralic Aries and Devialet 200

[GuillaumeB]

To bad that your Melco was dead when you were in Sweden, would be great to have heard it and compared it to my Aries. By the way witch Melco is it that you have?

What App are you using to control the Melco? I tried Bubble UPnP yeasterday with my Aries and they support playback of Tidal so that is something I would like to have.

Do you know if someone have tried a UpTone Regen with their Melco?

Yes! The unit I had with me in Sweden was the N1Z which is even better and by and far the best digital transport I have ever heard. 

I don't actually own the Melco. I bought a d1 totaldac server before the Melcos came out in the UK. It has since been upgraded by the manufacturer, free of charge I might add! The incredible support I get from totaldac combined with sound quality of the device are such that I simply can't justify selling up and buying the Melco. The updated d1 server is now knocking on the door of the N1Z, sound quality wise!

But the totaldac costs €5k (+ totaldac USB which is recommended to connect cubox to reclocker) compared to under €1.8k for the N1A... that's why I recommend the Melco!
