Noise theory...Internal SSD, USB HD, or DNLA

I am weary of the chase. Are you guys sure about DNLA?

Oh and I just busted my good sounding portable HD

all dang Sorry Bruce.
myself I still really liking the internal SSD 1 TB drive i have in my Mini and have no plans to switch to external or NAS at this time!
As I started a song on my mini and my SACD at the same time and use the source button on my preamp to switch between them and my Hi-Rz files sounded just as good as the SACD for the most part depending on which album I was playing.2 ch- Polk CRS+ * Vincent SA-31MK Preamp * Vincent Sp-331 Amp * Marantz SA8005 SACD * Project Xperience Classic TT * Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge

"IMO USB is the best choice for Aries Mini, though it can be further helped by adding galvanic isolation. I use Intona USB Isolator (industrial edition) for this.
Also, as with the Aries Femto & Aries LE, the sound of the Mini can be improved as follows:
* Avoid adding local storage (increases electrical noise)
* Stream in WAV (PCM) instead of FLAC/ALAC/MP3 etc. to remove the stream decompression workload from Mini's processor
* I take advantage of MinimStreamer to do FLAC-to-WAV decoding on the NAS
* Use good linear power supply to replace the included SMPS"
From some other bb -
My internal SSD maybe adding some noise?
but it is so kənˈvēnyənt to use the SSD with the Lightning app that I could never go back to external or using a NAS/PC setup
