Of course the big problem with any Auralic product above the Aries in the range, is that if you are using it with a Devialet, you are paying for DAC / Pre-amp hardware that you do not need.
Yes and let's face it the Aries wasn't exactly brilliant on SQ, although I concede things may have changed with firmware updates etc.
The DAC thing always causes a bit of cognitive disarray, having said that if the end result is good... then why not?
