Mind app on my iPad, but it works with an DNLA control point software. The older app (Mind HD) used to crash, but thats all fixed now.

How many Aries Mini's can you buy for the cost of the Moon ?
Maybe start a new thread for it.

Just curious here as to why you think there would be an issue with a particular broadband supplier and a manufacturer?
Apologies, I was deliberately vague as my knowledge of all things wifi/network etc is sorely lacking and I thought there might be a well known SKY issue with all things streaming !
The app is unable to find selected device and suggests to ensure router can handle UDP Multicast. A quick google of this and Sky together brings up various references that Sky doesn't facilitate UDP Multicast. But tbh honest I am quoting things I really don't understand.
A quick call to the dealer tomorrow is in order but thought I might be able to nip in the bud now !
Thanks, Steve

I have a 2Qute with Aries Mini, and there is a noticeable improvement in sound compared to my MacBook Pro with Audirvana +. I am wondering whether an LPS would be beneficial with the external DAC.
Hi folks,
I've seen that the Aries Mini can be used as a Musicserver (with internal harddisk fitted). Is it straightforward to add new music to it, please? (A shame that the Aries Mini has no ripping function, otherwise it would be an even more complete system).
Thanks,
Stefan

I'm assuming the Aries Mini internal ESS sabre DAC is seriously trounced by the Chord 2Qute!?

Yes, very easy. Aries Mini will be seen on your network by your Mac/PC. Copy files over in batches rather then trying to do the whole thing in one go. After initial transfer then just add new music as you get it.
As promised feedback on my Mini with 2Qute (after 7 days running-in). The sound is better than the internal dac in the following ways.... more detail, more body and fullness to the sound and better dynamics. That said the sound with the internal dac is very good in its own right.

So the 2Qute isn't 'significantly' better than the DAC in the Mini ?
Most have said the internal Aries Mini DAC, sounds exactly like a few 100 quid ESS Sabre dac should sound = shit.

New Firmware 3.1 arrived.
UPNP now working.
I'm now streaming wirelessly from my laptop/JRiver !
Seems counter intuitive to not have a library connected physically (to me) but initial impression is that it sounds even better.
Auralic have stated that the best SQ is from wireless.
JRiver has always been my favourite, all these mobile/tablet apps have always seemed poor and limited in comparison.
Happy Monday.
