Hi Chungjh,
Realize the question was not directed to me, but my initial setup after acquiring my Dev was streaming from a slightly modified Mac Mini. I was quite happy with the constellation but was surprised what a step forward the SQ made when replacing the Mac with an Aries. From an SQ and value for the money perspective, I was more than impressed. The only thing which triggered my change later was the challenges I was having with the network protocol and the integration of additional streaming services. Something which they have probably overcome since then.
