To reclock or not to reclock
Hi falconquest it was probably me who you read saying that I went from Sonos>W4S to just an Aries Mini. Keep in mind though I do have a very good Dac, a Yamamoto YDA-1 and also I upgraded the power supply of the Aries Mini with the SBooster uni...

Bluesound products to add to hifi satisfaction?
I'm the one who recommended the Aries Mini to Ghosthouse, glad your still enjoying it so much, and agree with what he says, with a few of my own observations. I never had an issue going straight to my DAC via the coax spdif output, obviously total...
