RE: Aurilic is clearly not understanding the product category


Sticking a DAC in the product cannot be described in any other way but stupid.

Maybe but that depends on what you're looking for. Auralic is not the only streamer maker that includes a DAC in some of their streamers. The Mini also includes the ability to install a local disk. Again, Auralic is not the only manufacturer that makes streamers with internal disk.

I think they're just trying to cover a broader range of users and what they want.

Oh, I wouldn't expect any reviewer to claim that the Aries Mini sounds as good as the Aries LE or the Aries with femto clocks. These devices ALWAYS sound better as you go up the price ladder, even if they don't.

I refuse to consider the Squeezebox Touch in the equation for any shootout or comparison not because it wasn't a great product but because it is dead, obsolete, gone, history, etc. Get over it people! It is no longer relevant to the conversation. ;-)
