I want to use the Tidal music service but my dac

When I spoke to Wyred they said if I was only using the Connect that the internal upgrade would sound better, and to only purchase the external reclocker if I was going to use it on other units. I have had no issues with wifi signals, which are not particularly good here either.

HI Grannyring,

Since you want to avoid a computer and enjoy streaming
TIDAL, you are definitely on the right track with the
Auralic Aries, Aries LE or Aries Mini. $1500, $1000, $500.

Of course they are capable of much more and at some point
can and possibly will explore and take advantage of them.

I am simply amazed at the sound quality of TIDAL through my
system. IMO it's better than any disc player I've ever had.

There will be a bit of a learning curve, though a good
dealer will help keep frustrations to a minimum.

Yes, I am a pleased Aries user and I recommend it highly.
BEST thing is: The sound quality is BETTER than using a
computer - by a long ways.

Thanks Doak

BTW this thread got me considering my Sonos and wifi situation and looking on Sonos' website I found they have a product called Boost which is a much more robust wireless networking product than the original Bridge I'm using. Sonos says that should fix dropouts in dodgy wifi spots. At $99 its my next "upgrade". Anyway Grannyring very curious to hear your impressions of Tidal through a Yammy DAC so please do update this thread. Cheers!

I use a bluesound pod ...sounds great for the money..no kidding!
