Personally as of now I'd rather listen to the Moon MiND. The development of the MiND firmware-wise has been a little slow though and I suspect the Aries has more potential on that front. The Aries is more impressive to me - bigger soundstage, depth, but just a bit flat dynamically (to me anyhow). We'll try it with a good USB cable in the next few days - could be very different...
patcam - we were told at one point that Simaudio would bring out an improved power supply but this seems to have fallen by the wayside. I understand there are one or two third-party linear PSUs available but you have to be wary! The PSU with the MiND, even though it looks like a wall-wart SMPS, is apparently a linear power supply and is maybe not as bad as people might think.
