Aires Mini and Tidal SQ

I was wondering if anyone was using the Aires Mini to receive Tidal and how satisfied they were with the HD SQ please? I don't intend to use an accompanying DAC right away with the Mini.

I bought an Aries Mini specifically to stream Tidal via wifi in a secondary system and really like it. The sound quality, even with the stock wall-wart power supply, competed favorably with my Marantz SA-11S2. Adding a linear PS (I bought SBooster) improves it dramatically. Now I'm thinking about getting an Altair to stream Tidal in my main system.

I have an Aries Mini and stream Tidal Hifi. I use the Aries Mini to drive an outdoor sound system on my patio, so sound quality wasn't priority #1 and I'm happy using it's built-in DAC. Out of curiosity, I did try the Mini in my main system and its analog output is on par with my Oppo but not at the level of my Linn streamers. I can't speak to the quality of its digital output.

  Thanks for the response. Very much appreciated! I think the Aires Mini will allow me to upgrade in the future with a much better DAC in the mix.
