Auralic Aries Mini vs Bluesound Node ll vs Sonos


Wondering if anyone has experience with either the node ll or the mini. Looking for a possible upgrade from Sonos for streaming Deezer Elite. I've read the interface on the mini only works with Ipad. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@jond Are you using the built-in DAC? If so, let me spend your money by saying that you have significant upgrade potential with most external DACs. That dac isn't really up to the quality of the server portion of the Mini, nor to the rest of your gear. So if it sounds great now using the built-in dac, even bluer skies are ahead. Cheers,

OP, are you stuck on Deezer Elite?
"Deezer Elite is only available on your Sonos system." So unless Deezer needs to update their website, there's that.

If not, I'd say Tidal opens up way more possibilities of compatible hardware. Cheers,
