Looks more like what the Aries should have been

Typical of these companies, they produce a product and then when sales are lukewarm they realize that it's grossly overpriced for all that it delivers. So they come out with their "mini" or "light" version and pretend that it's inferior in sound, hence the lower price point.

Like most of the devices in this product category, it's little more than an ARM microcomputer running Linux and open source software, with a DAC chip and a couple of full sized audio connectors. It's at least double or triple the price that it should be. Yet it will appeal to some audiophiles who think that a $600 component is suitable for background listening in the garage.
