fdiog Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hello, This is my first post after several months of reading the forum in the shadows and learning a lot from it. I'm planning to buy an Auralic Aries (hooked wirelessly to a QNAP) to substitute the MBP with Audirvana + that I'm currently using. I understand I would benefit from better SQ. But I have a small question that it's very important for me. I listen almost only to classical music and I buy a lot of Hi-Res digital music that comes with a digital booklet in .pdf which I like to read whenever I'm listening to new music or for archival purposes (interpreters, recording date, etc.) I was wondering if the Auralic DS app can show this files or if any other app available does it. I've never run a music server from a NAS and I would like to have this clarified beforehand. Thanks a lot, PS: English is not my native language. Excuse any mistakes. Link to comment
RolandGo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The only app I know that does this is JRemote. For that, you need to run JRiver on your computer. Link to comment
dummy Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 JRemote with JRiver is the only app I know of that is pdf friendly. I am 100% with you on the pdf booklets. I use them all the time and they are my #1 priority feature for a player which is why I haven't jump in the Roon bandwagon yet. Auralic use the OpenHome architecture I think which is compatible I believe with JRiver. So, although It somewhat negates the need for an Aries, there may be a way to use JRemote/JRiver to control the Aries through DLNA or something... I am not a 100% sure here tough. Someone with more knowledge could chime in here but I believe there is a possible run around way for you. Good luck! Arcam rDAC / Oppo BDP-83 / NAD 315BEE / Totem Arro Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I haven't done it myself, but I understand you can do this with mPad on the iPad controlling MPd. Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
wgscott Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 iTunes allow this as well. Link to comment
fdiog Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks for your answers. I know iTunes does show booklets and Audirvana + too. I read them with the latter. But from what I've been reading so far, if I set a upnp server the only option (not sure) would be JRemote controlling the Aries. Such a pity, as I believe even upnp standard doesn't support pdf. See this thread in minimserver forum. And the status of Roon in that regard: they will offer support for pdf as liner notes. Link to comment
