The Aries is high on my list of potential purchases. Hence I have spent some time looking into its cpabilites. So, the answer to your query about streaming from your PC music is yes. It has a USB2 input so you can connect your PC via this or use an external hard disk that has the music stored on it.
The question then is how is the music navigated? As I understand it you need the Auralic Lightning app which installed on an i-pad.There is an Android version either to be released soon or which has come out in the past couple of weeks.
The question for me is how does the Lightning app handle the metadata (tagging) that is presumably linked with your FLAC files on your PC? I am particulalry interested in this and how it performs with classical tags which require more fields than I see in the Auralic screenshots of the app. Perhaps you could let me know?
