Auralic Aries S1 streamer

Not sure where you are located, but according to those on the Auralic forum who have ordered them in the USA, they just started to ship from the distributor in the last few days. They listed their new products for sale on their website quite in advance of actual availability. I had to wait a month after ordering and payment to get my new Altair G2.2.

This steamer could be a killer unit. A shame it does not have fibre input. However, I did have a streamer from Playback Designs, Stream-IF, that was able to compete against 2 fibre based streamers that I also had. The Lumin X1 and the Sonore OpticaRendu. The Stream-IF did not support fibre input, only fibre output, which I was not able to use.

Point is that maybe the newer streamers can compete against fibre based streamers.

Never cared to ever try Auralic since it does not support android.
