Miles Dewey Davis
Orpheus thanks for that recollection it's nice to hear that sort of thing about one of my favorite musicians. Currently streaming the complete Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions my all time favorite Miles sessions.

No noise from my Aries Mini whatsoever. 
Auralic Aries
Congrats on your Aries! I've run an Aries Mini for 5 years now with no complaints. The only negative I've heard on the Aries is that some of them have needed their wireless cards replaced. The Auralic support forums are a great place to do some re... 
Help buying first analog rig - Clearaudio Concept or Rega P6
Based on my experience with Rega, a Planar 3, I would go Clearaudio. The Wood looks great and the fact that the plinth is Baltic Birch and not MDF is a big plus.

The Hungarian lands tomorrow.

Pre amp for Lamm!

Tidal hifi
Qobuz is better for my tastes but Tidal is still an excellent service do a free trial of both and see which you prefer. 
You mean someone buys this stuff?
I have to say that looks cool but it's an accident waiting to happen. Someone will buy it I'm sure. 
Considering an integrated
I just listened to the Synthesis A40 Virtus at Deja Vu Audio today it sounded phenomenal driving a pair of Audio Note AN-J's. 40 pushpull watts from a pair of KT66 tubes per channel. Plus a great sounding built in Dac, no phono stage however price... 
Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system?
If you have a good local dealer go there listen and put yourself in their hands if you like what you hear.
