問題是Streamer 能否變成主流。

樣子和理念都不錯 x2
I am quite confident of Xuanqian Wang of Auralic.
And the price is so low!  Even the top model ARIES which has two individual Femto clocks and external linear PSU is just US$1,599.

Whether streamer is 主流 or not is not crucial because setting up a NAS to feed it is easy & cheap.  All audiophiles can set up such a NAS-based system as their secondary system.

This Auralic Aries will be a big success & KO many other brands/models of streamer for sure!

周sir應該係看多個零頭以為萬幾美金遮，千幾就真係抵買來試試喇。

這個跟cubox-i4 pro 加ddc加靚鐘仔 加線牛加靚箱同做晒軟件果部分（最困難、最痛苦的部分）
一個字：「抵」

多年前 Logitech 的 Transporter 都是這價，但它沒有靚clock, 速度上這個也應該較快。這價位真的好吸引

個樣好吸引，但唔知有冇一套連DAC？

I agree whether it is a streamer is not important, but it opens up another door not unlike what Squeezebox has introduced thousands of audiophile the possibility of network based music streamer, even before there was the word CAS !

This should be the one to watch.

no 'matching' DAC, but Auralic's own DAC.

I was planning to save up to get an Aurender. Looks like I can save some money by going for the Auralic.

Is there any official dealer of Auralic in HK?

t1174

Auralic 的DAC 也叫出名了(抵吧), 可惜外觀冇咁形. 可能等下出台MATCH 的先.

另外是, 比 MAN 301 同 Aurender 有一方面"可能" 比較好, 就是說會有 ANDROID APP.

breadvan

Both MAN 301 同 Aurender no doubt are top-tiered product, just note the price difference however.

The Auralic Aries is supposed to have both Android and iOS app.

No Auralic agent in HK and Taiwan, you can direct email Auralic, they sell direct.

Note "Hard Disk Playback function will come on Q3/2014" for those whose prefer not to stream.

Seems like Auralis has a solid support behind this product and we will see constant improvements and new features from firmware updates.

Aries' specification sheet seems to be the "want list" of every CAS/NAS audiophiles!
The pricing & specifications are near-perfect.
If the sonic performance is good too, Aries will be invincible!
