Audiostream just put their Auralic Aries review.Some surprising findings.
More than a few bugs in the review sample...and
-The reviewer preferred the sonics of the Simaudio MiND.
"Compared to the Simaudio Moon MiND (see review) connected to the Vega DAC via AES/EBU, I felt the MiND offered an even lower noise floor as compared to the Aries. Music just sounded more full bodied, more colorful. Bass also appeared to be deeper and more robust. The MiND is limited to PCM data up to 24/192 but on a purely sound quality basis, I preferred its presentation to the Aries as it drew me into the music more."
The reviwer preferred the Aries over his Mac Book Pro.
"In terms of sound quality, I found the Aries to better my MacBook Pro in terms of apparent noise floor, dynamics, and resolution."
