  1. Agreed, an update would be appreciated, given that the average review time is 9 to 10 days. Mine is working just fine at the moment,but the additional functionality would be interesting to have a look at Cheers
  2. Hi Wang, I must say that i had plenty of difficulty getting this to work, but the functions you pointed out are working on my Ipad with IOS8. Go figure, I am glad you are addressing this issue but from the view of my front porch all is fine Cheers R
  3. Hi ted_b The funny thing is that the app is now working on IOS 8 I have nothing to compare it to, but it appears be functioning as it was designed. I will do the downgrade when V1.4 shows up to see how much more the app presents Cheers
  4. Are you trying to suggest we put an Arias in an Aries and then create a playlist ,,,,, Thanks for the analogy it is understood and appreciated Cheers
  5. Thanks to all that offered advise , it was greatly appreciated, Even we did not share the same opinion, I am not sold that this was ready for prime time yet, but we will all have to see where it ends up ..The Car did have a motor just needed to push the key in .. PS sounds great bring on the refreshments
  6. Did you put money on that 50/50 bet you should have ....tunes playing as type this something so simple ...Cheers mate Now we just have to allow for a color change . That white is blinding me
  7. Yes my app looks the same as yours with the exception of the name of the adapter mine states Auralic USB Adapter all else looks the same Question if i reset the aries should it not also reset the app ?
  8. Thanks for the reply . I will take your concerns one at time 1) As i stated this issue was present before I did the Ipad IOS update and nothing has changed, the update was prompted to find a solution to this issue 2) Yes it is set to USB, I did make that mistake the first night and when I changed the out put it worked for a couple of hours 3) Yes I have tried both COAX outputs with no change,same issue 4) No its a pretty stable network , my issue with CA appears to be a timed log out function, The Lumin as stated keeps telling me to pick a Lumin, I have not had time to research this further because my priority has been to have the Lighting App functioning, thus the request for info from other people using it 5) The Vega does nothing, the display simply states 384Ks , I did figure out the que aspect the other night, but this function is now greyed out and non-functioning and will not allow me to add anything to a que, , I do have this configured as OpenHome and the sidebar is empty, again this was also present the other night. I have systemically shut down all the items suggested by bplexico still to no avail It is not that I do not want this to work, I do ,this why I have I have spent the last 3 days working through as many possible solutions posted in this thread and others. (some what sleep deprived at this time) Your defense of the App is understood as a beta tester you have a relationship with the developers most of us do not, or need to have. But when a product goes to market it should have most of the bugs corrected, or advertised, and not on this forum, that it is still in development . Keep in mind this is being sold around the world as a ready to use product. Beta is just that Beta As to what group I fall in, that is purely speculation and does appear as veiled elitism, Do think they they Auralic has been responsive to the findings of those that were early adopters, yes and I do believe that they want to create a product that has all the functionality advertised ,fact is this is not the case yet ,but the product is being shipped world wide with a still in developing app. You dont buy a car and get the motor later . I am not trying to argue with you ,its obvious we have a difference of opinion, and I respect that. Your feedback is greatly appreciated as I look to a resolution to the ongoing issue with my Aries. So any more light you may be able to shed will be greeted with enthusiasm And Yes bplexico I have contacted support and await their reply
  9. Let's try this again. All pertinent components have the latest firmware installed, and or have been updated to the current versions. Aries has been reset, lightning app has been uninstalled and installed numerous times and the issue persists. At this point in time it appears I have a rather expensive plastic brick, and I would like to see this issue resolved. Attached components: Qnap TS112 / Asus RT-AC68U (hardwired via CAT6 ethernet cable to Aries displaying firmware version 1.7) / Aries connected via USB to Aurlic Vega / Lightning App displaying version 1.3 / Minum server 8.2A / Ipad Mini (completely updated with IOS 8, please be aware this issued was ongoing before the update to IOS 8) And now to describe the issue. It appears that the app successfully scans my music folders and are displayed within the app itself. I use folder view under Minum server as my means of interacting with my music files. Again the app appears to find all the music and display the artwork but when I try to play a song with a simple tap all I get is a blink on the screen and nothing else. The Aries does not appear to be running nor will the music play throughout the application. In addition to this when using it as "Open Home" there are no side bar functions displayed such as the internet radio function. I have tried both wired, and wireless, but there appears to be no communication between the app and Aries itself. Also in regards to the Lumin app. I have downloaded and installed this but it continues to ask for a Lumin. This was a much anticipated purchase and so far it has been extremely disappointing. I have used a Squeezebox Touch, and a Sim Audio Moonmind 180 without anything resembling the difficulties this product has presented. I am not a beta tester, I am a computer audiophile that simply wants to enjoy my music on the finished product I supposedly bought. At this time I am willing, as stated before, to give this product a try until the new and revised app is released. If the current app continues to be sub-standard I will be returning the product. I find it very irresponsible for an organization to release a product that is so far from complete that it fills up 11 pages on an independent forum. There is no greater way to "kill the buzz" generated by this product than to have potential customers view this many issues on the forum. Again, I am not a beta tester but it appears that Aurlic has decided to "employ" it's paying customers to troubleshoot and refine this poorly executed application. It is not without expectation that software will have glitches and many products reach the general public in need of small tweaks. These issues are not small tweaks. When I purchased the Sim Audio Moonmind 180 it too was a new release but still employed a stable app and functioning user interface, (I could actually listen to my music). Please keep in mind that this app was functioning for a brief period of time shortly after purchasing. Any help with the current state of my Aries and the use of the Lumin as a control point would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
  10. Its obvious from the amount of issues posted in this form ,that the Lighting App was far from ready. What better way to improve your product at no cost, is to have those that purchased it sort out all the issues. (Spend Good Money and do the Work) I just purchased my Aries and the App is still far from user friendly, as it stands it wont even play any of my files, it will recognize them on my network, show me albums complete with artwork, but will only sorta blink if I tap the song. It played last night, but refuses to do so today. I have deleted the app,updated minimserver, re-scanned ,cycled my router and the Ipad mini. But still the same issue. I sold a Moon Mind 180 that is a similar product that was far easier to use than this the Moon app integrated seamlessly with Minimserver and for the most part was very stable and easy to use. Mr. Wang states he wants a simple interface, but as of yet, has created a mess as evidenced by all the posts. I myself bought this to listen to the music on my NaS and not spend hours trying to get it to work, less we forget ,given that this a Computer Audiophile form, its still about the music, I will try to use the Lumin App if some one can explain how to set it up with the Aries, and wait until the next firmware upgrade and then make my decision as to wether I keep it or take it back. I run minumserver on a Qnap NAS hooked up to a Asus RT-AC68U , the Aries feeds a Vega Dac ( very nice piece of kit) So any help regarding the Lumin and my current problem will be appreciated Cheers
