Suburb or Town: Adelaide State: South Australia Payment Method: PayPal Reason for selling: NLR Further information: Hi I’m selling a Auralic Aries Femto Streamer with seperate Auralic Ultra Low Noise Linear PSU. Complete with original packaging so interstate courier is welcome. The player functions perfectly - it has a few small cosmetic marks which are hardly noticeable once in the Audio Rack. Auralic Aries Femto serves as a ‘bridge’ between music files on network storage or high quality online streaming services and the consumers’ DAC — enabling DACs for the first time to stream high-resolution music quickly and wirelessly in virtually any sampling rate, including DSD, Double-Rate DSD and DXD. The inputs of ARIES include Dual-Band high-speed WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 port. The outputs are USB audio host buffered by Auralics patented ActiveUSB™ technology; low jitter digital audio outputs: AES/EBU, Coaxial and Toslink. The USB audio host can deliver PCM from 44.1 to 384 KHz at 16-, 24- and 32-bit resolutions as well as DSD, Double-Rate DSD for compatible USB DAC. The other digital outputs are limited to 192 KHz at 24-bit in maximum according to S/PDIF standard. Auralic Aries Femto is bundled with Auralic's Lightning DS App. The App has the capability to fully control Aries Femto to browse your music libraries on your network-attached storage (NAS), to stream high quality music content from service providers like Tidal, Qobuz and WiMP, to control the playback and to select the hardware settings such as output channel and WiFi network, etc. The App also supports Songcast, a music distribution service that allows users to map computer’s sound to any Lightning-equipped system and to map sound between different Lightning systems in the house and streaming sound though Apple AirPlay and Roon.

Pebbles Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Fantastic streamer for not a lot money. With good USB chain to the dac it will perform at a high level. Wifi is Auralics recommended connection to the network which suits my setup perfectly, and the Lightning DS UI is one of the best going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbles Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 ...and the latest couple of firmware upgrades have introduced upsampling and a 5 band parametric equaliser. Either effective or just fun to fiddle with but certainly gives you an idea of the potential of DSP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenticularis Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 ...also latest firmware has the added functionality of playing and/or ripping CDs through the Aries, using a simple computer CD/DVD drive, either self-powered, or using a USB hub. Rips to 44.1/16 FLAC format, with metadata. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
