Need help choosing a streamer

[Laura]

I have the original Auralic Aries streaming bridge and am mostly happy with it. The beauty for me was to get rid of having to use my OPPO disc player as a transport and instead I ripped all my CDs to a USB stick which plugs into the back of the Aries which I can control from my IOS devices via the Auralic Lightning app or now more often Kazoo, but I then also have the option to stream Airplay too if I want to. When I say I'm mostly happy with it, it's not sound quality but rather build quality that is the slight issue. The 'Auralic' logo on the top was disappointingly just stickers which when the unit got hot one time curled and peeled off of their own accord. The other issue I have had is that it went through a phase of losing its configuration for no apparent reason and I'd have to mess about setting it up again. Weirdly it fixed itself and has been stable ever since, but these are just minor annoyances from a product that when it works, works very well.
