Awful software. Stick to cds or get another streamer
This software is dreadful. It stops works continually. I have wasted hours on this rubbish. This morning the software has stopped working yet again. I have been totally unable to get it work again after almost two hairs of hair pulling frustrations. The company who makes this software are as incompetent as the software. They take your money and run. I have contacted them time after time and they never respond. Do yourself a favour and totally avoid Aurelic, if you are foolish enough to get one then don’t throw your cds away. I guarantee this rubbish will stop working.

Terrible Software
Constantly crashes cannot connect reliably to Auralic Hardware. Very sorry for the 4 figures I spent on their hardware.
Great App as it Serves its Purpose
In my opinion, Lightning DS is a great app from an audio company that actually listens to its users. Every time I contacted Auralic with questions/issues/suggestions. I was always cordially greeted back by the company’s CEO who is always making an effort to improve the application. For example, I pointed out that the Tidal desktop app displayed a small “M” on the album covers that were offered in Masters/MQA format, and that it would be a nice touch doing the same on the Lightning DS’ Tidal interface. Auralic listened and did just that! On their next update, they added “MQA” at the bottom of the Tidal albums that offered the format. That feature alone made me want to use the app more! The WiFi connection also improved greatly! I think Auralic nails is with the Lightning DS, when it could simply just tell users to pay $500 for a Roon license. Even then, I would still invest in their great products.

Great app, love the redesign
Great app, love the new interface, very slick
Awesome App
I just purchased an Aries Mini to replace an Apple TV for streaming music, and it has been a huge difference. The setup through the app was a breeze. If you're an audiophile or just like great sounding music, buy the Aries, and download the app. If you use Tidal, it has Tidal built into the app. For the money, it is just such a great purchase. Very happy. Five stars all the way.

Unstable & buggy
Don't make the mistake of updating to this version. It's now unstable & also forces you into setting up an Auralic account. Avoid until they sort out the problems & give you an opt out on setting up an account.
Love the iPhone app!
Love that you guys developed the iPhone app. Much more convenient than the iPad app as I always have my phone on me.
Great app with aeries min
Keep up the good work
Finally it comes on iPhone!!!
All I can say is, I cannot live without Lightening DS!
I have been using Auralic Vega and Aries for a while. No need to say how amazing,awesome, or fabulous of the sounds they deliver. One of the biggest reason I chose them is simply because the Lightening DS GUI!
If you are downloading this app, definitely you understand what I say - you must be owner of Auralic products.
So, I don't need comment more about the details. Just try it.
The best music player GUI ever, that's it.
