Dolphy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 You can use Buble PNP to play music. It also allows for music services like Tidal, Spotify etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) A reasonably up to date IPad will also do the trick, in may respects its better as the album art is on a bigger screen. iPad could be had for very reasonable amount, thus negating the need for the iPhone.

I have one of these units and I do not intend on selling it anytime soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandpkumar Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I too have one of these devices - it's definitely a keeper! I use an older iPad that does not support the Auralic app, but am quite happy with third party applications such as Linn Kinsky. You can also use BubbleUpnp on Android devices - which I tried, but prefer the Linn to that. I did have to use my wife's iPad (which supports the auralic app) to set up the device - you could borrow one from family/friends 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH1 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Forgive my ignorance, but if you were just using it as a Roon endpoint, would you be able to control it via the Roon app? Can't see your signature, so not sure what gear you're running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't found the reason why do I need this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought exactly the same model of Aries and LPSU and I love its sound quality, ease of use (with iPhone or iPad) and streaming from Tidal or networked music. Lightning DS would not work on my old iPad 1st gen, but worked fine on an old iPhone 6S. Seeking a larger screen, I bought an iPad Air 2 with a slightly sticky 'home' button, for $250 on local eBay. It's a bargain. The Aries is worth it for the minimal cost of a suitable used iPhone or iPad of which there are many choices at reasonable cost on eBay etc. Edited October 14, 2019 by lenticularis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
