I will opt for a level playground to try as much as possible to have a fair comparison. having said that, i will avoid the direct mode setup and will rely on the USB connection to have an apple to apple comparison mainly to my Aurender. Also in my comparison i will play exact tracks from internal storage to rule out any impact from the local network, of course the exception here would Auralic Aries as it has no built in storage.
the thing that bugs me is that i can't get the Aries >> USB >> D400 connection to work (currently only relying on digital coax). my understanding is that there was a firmware update for Aries that enables that. Any idea how to sort this. Ideally I want all three streamers on the same USB port using the same USB cable
Hi Ambrok,
You said "Any idea how to sort this." Was this a question? If so, found this on the auralic site:
"Does my ARIES support USB playback function?
Yes, all ARIES including ARIES LE supports USB playback function. To use this function, you need to update your ARIES to latest firmware
version, which is V1.11. It is also requested to have a Lighting DS, the control App, with version V1.6 and above.
My ARIES firmware is not up to date, how can I get updated?
Please connect ARIES to your home network with wired or wireless connection and make sure you have a stable Internet connection.
ARIES will check for latest firmware then downloads automatically when it power up or every 2 hours while it is running. You will receive
a notice in Lightning DS to proceed the firmware update after the download is finished. It is highly recommended to connect your ARIES
with Internet connection while you use it so ARIES can receive all necessary updates immediately after they are available."

Hope this is helpful and not "teaching Granny to suck eggs"!
