I got to try out both an Aurender (new A30) streamer, as well as the new Ayre QX-5 - and though I never got to compare them to the Aries from a sound perspective - I got to compare the two from a usability perspective - Auralics Lightning app, server and "completeness" simply kills the other two. Auralic wins outright in usability (intuitive), speed, stability (both of the other two "broke down" all too often), logic, integration and presentation. I am most likely going to buy a Mini as well and start building a multi-room setup with the Aries family.
