Auralic Aries Mini

I don't believe these come up for sale often. I am selling because I have 2 in the house and this one is in my secondary deck/living room system....and want to try a Marantz 6006. I am second owner and have box and related stuff. Pics coming soon. 360.00 shipped via PP friend option for Polkies.

    Question. Control is by iOS devices only, yes?

    I guess since it's UPnP device, many apps can render to it. What would I be missing out on by not using the Auralic app? No iOS in this house and no plans to have any.

    It looks like no per the Auralic support page....they go on to say you can use other apps, but you will lose some functionality such as internet radio.

    I'm not a fan of Apple but a Huge Fan of Auralic and with a simple iPad the app with my Auralic is very user friendly and much better than any app I have used. If all That's hanging someone up is not liking or wanting to use a iOS device ..Id say get over it as this mini will probably put anything in this price range to shame.

    360 IS A GIVE AWAY PRICE AND should be listed as instant karma.

    I am still running a mini. On the USB side, i added a w4s recovery. This adds a femto clock to it and to me sounds even better.

    I actually already have an Aries Mini in white but I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a good deal on a black one.

    So I will most likely be selling my white one for a equally great deal soon.
