SD card after DSD kit. Input always shows PCM 44.1k (Maybe the 2nd topic is: Setting up jRiver)

wingsounds13 said I too prefer an Open system like UPnP/DLNA/OpenHome where I can mix and match selecting the equipment that I prefer . . . . . . I would jump in on Shiloh's Aries buy . . .
Unfortunately, as I understand it, the Aries is closed, accessible only through its own Lightning app. This app currently is iOS only and restricted to the iPad. Control client support for more iThings, Android, OS X and Windows are promised, but will remain proprietary and closed.

Aries is not closed.

Accessible via e.g. the Lumin app and Kinsky and Android is in the making.

Actually even more control points are currently available and for android as well

True, but in this case the OHnet setting in the Aries needs to be set to uPnP.

Although, as I understand it, settings can only be accessed through Lightening for the iPad - yes?

Is the Aries uPnP compliant?

Yes to both questions, however the LDS will be available on other platforms than IOS as Gordon pointed out.

Thanks
