I missed that!...

Please continue updating us as you have more experience... I am checking out the computeraudiophile forum... but no Devialet related info there for Aries...

I would like to know more on comparisons with AIR on sound quality...

Thanks...

Hi Unclemonty

2 questions for you on the Aries+ Devialet combo:
- how do you compare sound quality versus AIR and spdif? Any difference?
- have you tried streaming Qobuz hifi thru the Aries? I heard it in Munich and it sounded great. If you have time would appreciate a comparison of Qobuz sound quality with and without the Aries

Thanks in advance. Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo, sorry I can't be too much help here - I haven't used Air for quite while so comparison would not be meaningful any more, and regarding Qobuz it isn't available where I live (Australia).

You mean something like an Aurender music server? Trouble is they are even more expensive!

Their cheapest model is the Aurender X100L Music Player which retails at £3,250. The top of the range model is the W20 which costs £13k!

Would be interesting to try one though... Idea

I did try Aurender but I could not justify getting one even though it was offered to me for half price. It was an impressive chunk of hifi, but like most times, the software was nowhere near ready, usable or even stable.

When was this? That's really surprising... or perhaps not! Rolleyes
