Auralic Aries

[octaviars]

Still, I can hardly understand why it took them 4 CES days to realize that the big Aries can't do Mqa...
Who's to blame on this one: Meridian for their implementation strategy, or Auralic for their on a long-sight loosing marketing strategy?

As I understand Auralic already hade the code implemented in firmware 3.00 to do MQA when they (Meridian) changed their mind on how MQA is going to only for now be implemented in the DAC so I dont think Auralic is to blame for this.

But ROON ready works now with the new firmware.

Thanks Octaviars,
looks like a sound argument; the timing was just strange to me, meridian announced mqa implementation since more than a year already, it took them another 4 days at the CES to realize they can't do it for nondac streamers?
As you can see in my earlier post I needed a suggestion if the Aries is worth investing for the sound quality diffenence, considering that I now own a sqbox touch (lazy, bugy, annoying).

The Aries is a nice piece of equipment and I find it performing very well.

I have an Android tablet and Auralic dont support their platform anymore so with the latest firmware Tidal and some other things is gone in their Lightning App bur if you use iOS the app is what I have heard very good and the version that is coming out in a couple of days is supposed to be really nice after what I saw from CES.

I currently is using Bubble UPnP app to control it and today I started a trial period of ROON on my computer so right now I am using ROON ready to connect to my Aries and that works flawless.
