Hi Guys,
Thanks for the encouragement. To answer a few questions , I didn't directly compare aes from Aries and Mac mini with amarra but for what my memory is worth, I think I'd give the thumbs up to Aes from Aries . ( you can guess I'm tired of the Mac mini solution).
Qobuz works very well on the Aries, no need for a computer for daily operation, the desktop however does have better visuals and more options, for example it seems to connect to information about a particular album online very easily.Maybe this can be done on the Aries but I havent found it.
I also compared tidal to qobuz on Aries and found them the same sonically but prefer qobuz because of genre searching .
I'd love to try the totaldac usb cable !
