Auralic Aries and Devialet 200

[PhilP]

I'm sure that Twonky does work - otherwise QNAP and others wouldn't ship it.  I just haven't tried it myself because I read that many had problems with indexing etc.

I don't know how you have configured your system but JRMC includes a UPnP music server that can run on your PC (accessing music stored on your NAS if you wish). The Aries will work with JRMC. Again,  I haven't tried this myself as we've expelled all PCs from our house on the grounds that they're the work of the Devil 

If you want something really simple then an Aurender N100H with internal HDD (so no NAS involved) and a good control app with TIDAL integration and great SQ might be worth investigating but it's twice the price of an Aries.

Jriver access my NAS drive so I would assume it is using the software to access this. Truth is I have no idea. I control it with the jriver I pad app
The au render is one I was also considering, the Melco N1A the other but the Aries is the cheapest and could afford to get that now. The others will have to wait as in the process of buying some new HPs too

The Aries also has tidal and qoubuz but I doubt I will ever subscribe to them.

I had a home demo of the Aurender N100 (the version without an internal HDD) and the SQ was excellent. The N100H was introduced to keep things simple for people who didn't want to mess around with NASs etc. it's a great product but pricey.

If you don't want access to online streaming services or internet radio then the Melco would probably be a better and cheaper solution for you - check Rufus' posts as he has one.
