Auralic Aries

[ZincAlloy]

And let's not forget the persistent rumours of UPnP being planned by Devialet...

My dealer is adamant that they won't do it, saying that at the Devialet dealer training day recently they spoke of all the limitations of the UPnP approach and how AIR was much better.....

Hi - tried to get an Aries for home dem. Entry level model not available until September, the one with the upgraded power supply available now, according to my dealer. So, I guess I'll be staying with the SBT until Autumn...

Any comments on what benefits (if any) you get from the better PSU on the Aries into the Devialet.

I dealer I spoke to came up with some dramatic flowery language but little of substance to describe the potential impact!!

Hi Guillaume - I got exactly the same! Maybe there's a dealer handbook on the approved way to answer this question .... The only thing I got was that "it's much better, and they expect to sell more of them than the standard version". This concerns me slightly - £999 is a lot of money to pay for, essentially, a DAC-less streamer and I'd expect the sound quality to be stunning, improved power supply or not. Will try another route to try and get my hands on one and will keep you all posted.
