ale76 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I received 2 different replies from Auralic, one from Xuanqian Wang himself :-) It could be a display refresh issue or a file reading error. I ddi a reboot and all works fine now. pl_svn 1 Link to comment
pl_svn Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 the question "why is there another *possible but usually hidden* number" remains Qnap HS-264 NAS (powered by an HD-Plex 100w LPS) > Cirrus7 Nimbini v2.5 Media Edition i7-8559U/32/512 running Roon ROCK (powered by a Keces P8 LPS) > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio NOS digital preamplifier > First Watt SIT 3 power amplifier (or Don Garber Fi "Y" 6922 tube preamplifier + Don Garber Fi "X" 2A3 SET power amplifier, both powered from an Alpha-Core BP-30 Isolated Symmetrical Power Transformer) > Klipsch Cornwall III headphones system: Cirrus 7 > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio > Pathos Aurium amplifier (powered by an UpTone Audio JS-2 LPS) > Focal Clear headphones Link to comment

Blade1001 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Quick question - is anyone in this thread successfully using an Auralic Aries with a Mark Levinson No585 via the USB connection? Link to comment
Guido Del Giudice Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I would like to know if there is any reason to upsample the Qobuz 16/44k resolution files to 384kin the Aties Femto to be input into my DSD DAC, .... could I expect the sound quality to improve?

FIndingit Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I really think Aries is not up to any extra processing and the sq degrades. Say NO to ROON Link to comment

As it is Minimserver & Lightning DS give me two slightly different presentations - LDS is slightly drier? I can only assume it is because of the processing? Interestingly, I have run both Lightning DS & Minimserver for prolonged periods (months at a time). Using LDS the Aries runs flawlessly but with Minimserver it tends to freeze once every couple of weeks on average. Not a big deal but I wonder why that would be?

Me too, I have no urge at all to change. I now have nothing but linear power supplies in my setup including the NAS & router and any switch mode power supplies in my place are switched off at the wall when I listen to music. It is amazing what a difference there is compared to when I first bought the Aries some 3.5 years ago - the sound is as smooth as silk. Doak 1 Link to comment
intensemojo Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Well I didn't see much on the Aries G1. If there is a thread, could someone point me to it? Took the leap and am replacing the AF with a G1. Should have it this Wednesday. Wanted the screen and hopefully better wifi. If its sounds better, bonus. Link to comment

It'll be interesting to hear your impressions. I'm curious about your wifi comment. I use wifi with my AF and it has been rock solid using 5G from a Netgear Nighthawk from day one, in fact I don't recall having a dropout - ever. Link to comment
intensemojo Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I wish that were the case for me. If paused for 30 minutes or so the AF would lock up, requiring a hard on/off/on. I think I had the affected WiFi chip in some earlier production models. I also have a netgear x6 with Xfinity gig Anyway looking forward to the new arrival. Link to comment
intensemojo Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 So far so good with G1. Impressions to come. Link to comment

Since your receive your new G1, have you find a sound improvement quality compared to the Femto ? I actually have a Aries LE but after see this tread : https://community.auralic.com/t/aries-and-vega-g1-discussion-and-questions/1718/12 Mr Wang write about improve digital output sound quality between all range and quote the G1 10% better than the femto arie. I can't beleive this poor difference thanks for your feedback Link to comment
Doak Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The Aries G1 has been in my system for about 3 hours now. I have used the Aries (Femto) for over 3 years. IMO Mr. Wang is “sandbagging” on the G1 for whatever reason. It’s better and substantially so in every conceivable way - and I'm referring mainly to its sound quality. At this point the G1 can only get better. I will put the original Aries back in the system eventually, but I doubt that my ears are deceiving me. I’ve listened to/through my “old” Aries for many hundreds if not thousands of hours and it’s sound is pretty much ingrained in my brain ?..... ? Doghos 1 Doak's Audio System Link to comment
