You can also use the rear USB input to connect a flash drive or external hard drive loaded with music files. The Aries has various digital outputs to feed your DAC.

http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/619-auralic-aries-review/Selling because my family just doesn't like using an iPad to control our stereo music so I went back to my Logitech Transporter despite the fact that it doesnt sound as good as the Aries.
Comes with original box and remote control. Auralic only provides the manual online and does not provide a power cord (strange?!).
$1100 shipped to US addresses. Paypal adds 3% but personal checks accepted after money clears.
The following information is from the Auralic website:
“The ARIES serves as a ‘bridge’ between music files on network storage or high quality online streaming services and the consumers’ DAC — enabling DACs for the first time to stream high-resolution music quickly and wirelessly in virtually any sampling rate, including DSD, Double-Rate DSD and DXD.
The inputs of ARIES include Dual-Band high-speed WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 port. The outputs are USB audio host buffered by AURALiC’s patented ActiveUSB™ technology; low jitter digital audio outputs: AES/EBU, Coaxial and TOSLINK. The USB audio host can deliver PCM from 44.1 to 384 KHz at 16-, 24- and 32-bit resolutions as well as DSD, Double-Rate DSD for compatible USB DAC. The other digital outputs are limited to 192 KHz at 24-bit in maximum according to S/PDIF standard.”
