I'm interested in an Aries as well though its disappointing that prices are so much higher in the UK and Europe than the US (e.g. £999 rather than $999 for the LE).
There are some positive early user comments on the Computer Audiophile forum
My shortlist to demo is:
Simaudio Moon MiND 180
Auralic Aries
NAD M50
I've recently been given a very strong recommendation for the NAD so I'm keen to at least try it. It comes with tight integration to Qobuz which is very appealing and includes an optical drive for ripping hence simplifying the overall process and helping to keep box-count down. I will try to get one to home demo but probably not until after the summer vacation. Has anyone else on here tried a NAD?
