gingerbeer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 SOLD SOLD Item Condition: Used, excellent condition Shipping Options: Pickup available and you can audition.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Perth State: WA Payment Method: Paypal, Cash, Bank Transfer Reason for selling: Not using it - time for a new home! Further information: great little Roon endpoint or high quality streamer. Updated to the latest software and ready to go. I bought this as a combo from @Raffinator a couple of years ago who sourced the low noise Geiseler linear power supply and (I think) had the Aries from new. works flawlessly, just with kids and life in general I don’t use this very often, so it’s time to pass it on to someone who can make the most of it. Happy to audition to anyone in Perth now that the restrictions have been lifted, or can post it (linear power supply is heavy though!)

Mickstuh Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Great combo. Great price. That power supply really improves the analog output of the Aries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my Mini. Wish I could have got it for this price. Auralic don’t make streamers at this price anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandpkumar Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Great little unit, the Aries mini. As an owner of another Auralic streamer model, can highly recommend this brand! GLWTS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_F Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I bought a similar combo from a member a year back and it hasn't skipped a beat with Roon; it's just solid as a rock. Cannot say that for my Bluesound endpoints, which are far flakier. If you're looking for a Bluesound Node 2i, I would grab this instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it with Android through BubbleUPnP, though you will need an apple device to set it up the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niktech Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yeah, I read that. I don't have access to any Apple devices unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 I see you’re in Perth - I have an old iPhone 5 in a drawer which you’re welcome to use for as long as required 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want to use Lightning DS fulltime if I bought it from you and that would mean forking out for an Apple "something" device, which probably wouldn't make it viable. If I already had an Apple it would be a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandpkumar Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Surprised that this unit is still around - a very viable alternative to the Bluesound Node 2/2i at a lower price 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anandpkumar Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 A lot of people seem to be put off because of the 'official' support from Auralic only for iOS. I wouldn't call this a major issue. Even though I have an iPad around the house, I tend to use BubbleUPnP loaded on my Android phone more, and am pretty satisfied. Plays well for Tidal and Flac files from USB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
