| Why a high end streamer with a high end dac? I replaced a Mac Mini with an Auralic Aries because It sounds surprisingly better and has a better user interface. | |
| Computer Audio..Stream or download? Just wanted to recommend checking out Tidal through an Auralic Aries music streamer which was a surprising leap in refinement and overall sound quality over the Mac Mini it replaced. | |
| HELP Mac-mini or Macbook Pro Just to throw out a different option I replaced a Mac Mini with an Aries Auralic, the sound quality is noticeably more refined and the tablet based interface is quick and easy to use. Works great with Synology networked storage and plays Tidal los... | |

| Computer Audio for Dummies A very simple solution would be to pick up a USB DAC and try tidalhifi.com lossless music streaming service. It will give you unlimited access to 25m tracks free with a 7 day trial then $20/month. | |
| SONOS CONNECT If I recall, only the initial set up requires a cabled connection | |
| Mac Mini as a Server You might also look into an Auralic Aries music streamer. In my system I found the combination of ease of use and more refined sound much better than the mini it replaced. | |
| TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service Yes, you need an iPad to run the auralic lightening ds application which configures the Aries and then is how you select music. Apparently other devices will be coming soon though. | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Glad you got it to work with your DAC. I think the iTunes cloud is 256k, I run lossless files from my Synology network storage, haven't tried WAV but it would probably work, and 320k files from Google music. I now find Tidal lossless to be a great... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? No problem. The lightening cable works with current/newer devices, the other one is for recent about 2 year old devices. If you aren't sure just get both and amazon will let you return the one you don't need. It may be DAC dependent but I have had... | |
| TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service Cymbop, hard to beat nearly unlimited access to lossless music. Aries makes it convenient to access and sound it's best. I really like this combination. | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? I'm very satisfied with tidalhifi.com 25M lossless files and my own lossless files and the sound quality through the Hugo is exceptional. I would expect similar through a Benchmark. Definitely worth checking out a $30 cable and free Tidalhifi tria... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Cwlondon, The adapter works with iPhones too but the USB DAC must not get power via USB, wall or battery should work just fine. I have been using this setup with a Chord Hugo no problems. | |
| TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service Just got an Auralic Aries which works with Tidal and sounds night and day better than the Mac Mini it replaced, not even close. "The ARIES serves as a bridge between music files on network storage or high quality online streaming services and th... |
