Sounds great and the Lightning DS app is a pleasure to use.

The Aries Mini was a real bargain but has been discontinued. If you had your own DAC it did everything you would need including the ability to add internal storage. While it did have it's own DAC it was from listening to it in my system only for "emergencies."
