Lightning DS is playlist-based you can view your library by Library, Folder, Collection (think Favorites), or Playlist.
#CLEAR PLAYLIST MINIMSERVER SYNOLOGY ANDROID#
I see lossless streaming as a big part of our musical future.Īuralic's app for controlling the Aries, called Lightning DS (v.1.3), is currently available for iOS devices an Android version is in the works. Norway's Tidal service, based in Oslo, came to the US at the end of 2014 (for about $20/month)and while I'm on the subject, Deezer, another lossless-streaming service, announced a deal with Sonos to deliver CD-quality streaming to the Sonos system. I covered Qobuz in detail in the September 2014 " Audio Streams" here I'll say only that the notion of buying a hi-fi component and getting immediate access to a multi-million-album library in CD-quality sound lights my fire.

It also supports the lossless streaming services Qobuz and WiMP/Tidal, and my time with it coincided with my trial subscription to Qobuz. The Aries supports Songcast, which allows you to stream content like Spotify from your computer to the Aries. The Aries had no trouble finding my NAS devices. In the meantime, users can disable the display entirely, and thus the noise. Auralic reports that this noise will be lessened with a future firmware upgrade. The review sample's display made a slight buzzing sound that was audible only when my ears were within a few inches of it. Up front is a display that shows limited information, including the number of the track currently playing and the number of tracks in the current playlist. The Aries's curvaceous body is made of injected-molded plastic, partly because Auralic wanted to do away with WiFi antennasthey're built into the body. Its digital outputs are USB, TosLink, coax S/PDIF, and AES/EBU. Like the Simaudio MiND, the Aries has no DAC. The Aries also supports gapless playback. Supported file formats include AAC, AIFF, ALAC, APE, DIFF, DSF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAV, WV, and WMA. The Aries supports PCM formats up to 24/384, DXD, and DSD64 and 128. Inputs include dual-band WiFi, Ethernet, and USB that Auralic says will, with a soon-to-arrive firmware upgrade, accommodate reading from USB storage. The Aries supports the OpenHome standard as well as UPnP, the former permitting more ambitious multiroom options, including shared on-device playlists. The Auralic Aries houses a Quad-Core ARM Coretex-A9 processor running at 1GHz with 1GB DDR3 onboard memory and 4GB of internal storage.

And because the NAS also must support DSD, I loaded the MinimServer software on my Synology DS412+ NAS.
#CLEAR PLAYLIST MINIMSERVER SYNOLOGY UPDATE#
I use an ASUS RT-AT66U, and it worked without a hitch with Aries's most recent firmware update (v.1.6). To stream DSD64 and DSD128 over WiFi, Auralic recommends using a router with 802.11n MIMO supportand if you plan to run multiple Arieses around your home, they recommend bumping up to an high-end router such as the Netgear R6300 or Nighthawk R7000, or the ASUS RT-AC68U.

There was simply more there there.Īuralic Aries Wireless Streaming Bridge ($1599)Īt its debut, at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, the Auralic Aries caused a stir by showing off its ability to stream up to double DSD (DSD128) via WiFi. Even relatively simple fare, like Muddy Waters's Folk Singer (24/192 from HDtracks, Chess), revealed and reveled in the MiND's greater sense of physicality and detail over the MacBook Pro. The MiND delivered my music with a nice sense of body. But WiFi performance is notoriously site specific your mileage may vary. Because 24/176.4 and 24/192 files are part of my regular playlist, that makes the Simaudio MiND a wired device for my purposes. When I tried the MiND's WiFi connection, I found that I could play without problem files of resolutions up to 24/88.2, but higher resolutions had frequent dropouts. There was a newfound purity to the sound of my NAS-based music that made possible a more musically engaging experience.

Compared to my stock MacBook Pro running Pure Music 2 or Audirvana, the MiND appeared to offer a lower noise floorthere were greater senses of microdetail and dynamic contrast in Tom Waits's Alice (CD rip, Anti-). The Vega was in turn connected to my Pass INT-30A integrated amp, which powered a pair of DeVore Fidelity The Nines speakers. I connected it to my network switch with a length of AudioQuest Diamond Ethernet cable, and to the Auralic Vega digital audio processor via AES/EBU. Listening to the MiND was pretty much pure pleasure.
