Auralic Aries to Roon

Not possible -  PC in the office Aries in the media room.

Of course, one alternative if close enough is to use a USB connection between the PC and Aries.  Suggest a USB isolator if you do this though.

My computer is the Roon core and iPhone the controller. The core just won't recognise the Aries. It recognises my phone and a borrowed Zen Stream . 

The Aries requires a separate Roon core server.  This is where connections to outside music, and your library happen. It is also where any DSP gets applied and what will talk to your phone/tablets. With multiple output devices, the Roon core would need enough CPU power to run them all, which is why it's not always incorporated in end-point devices.

Matt roon is more then a hub many people find Roons interface to be far superior to many native apps

You have to be running the lightning App for the Auralic , then open your streaming app and select your device it should see it no problem. I'm not sure that you need to be adding ROON for this setup, Roon is a HUB for all your devices, How many devices are you sending music to??

Wired connection?  I had issues with my network connecting to my Aries G2.1.

I needed to turn it off  and reboot quite a few times.  Does it boot up and play music?  Have you activated the Aries in the Roon Settings?  Can you see the Aries in Roon settings?
