Thanks Guillaume! Sorry about the misspelling. The Aries looks to be one of the most 'complete' streamers at the moment with Tidal/Wimp and Qobuz support plus DSD and DXD. I've yet to try one as the Andriod version of the app is not available, but some comments say the Aries (or maybe the Lightning DS app) is not quite reliable. And we do not know what DIALOG will do or how it sounds.
The ARIES is a great package and my experience with the Lightning DS app was positive. I certainly didn't experience any reliability issues. With Dialog being imminently available it probably makes sense to wait and see how it measures up to other standalone streamers.
On the other hand it will probably be some time before Dialog becomes fully functional and no doubt the early versions of SPARK will have issues.
So no easy answer really, I suppose it depends on how long you're willing to wait!
