Thanks for the comment as I have follow your system and knowledge for some time. You were one of the first to use the Aries as your mains. I am still working as everyone else is on these site on getting things together.

update : added the Ayre QB-9 DSD Flagship USB DAC for just streaming from the Salk USB output. It is a great DSD which the Salk handles.
