Anyone here who has tried a Aries with the AES input on their Devialet?
I have Aries with Devialet 200. I used to use AES, but quickly moved to USB. Didn't try Tidal though.
But if you're going with AES, try some other XLR cable than TaraLabs just for fun. I tried Aries -> TaraLabs -> Audio Research CD9 and it wasn't that good. Don't know if the problem was with Aries or ARC, but I would check it just to be sure.
Why did you move on to USB? I asume it had something to do with the sound?
Intresting everyone tells me to use AES because it is the best input. I will certanly test both AES and USB with the Aries. Bought a secondhand Taralabs cable so it isnt a big deal if I have to sell it and get a nice USB cable.
