Can you tell us a bit more about your requirements and related equipment? What are your priorities?
I don’t have experience with any dCS gear. However, I just purchased a G2 and am in the process of initial home audition. It’s too early to form strong opinions but so far, I think it’ll meet my needs. I also have experience with Aurender (I own the N100H), Bluesound Node 2 (I have 2 of them in simple systems, and I auditioned the Lumin U1 Mini - nice but was bested by my Aurender. All very good for their price points but all different flavors of a streamer. Their respective apps are also a consideration.
If money is really no consideration, then you should also be looking at the Aurender W20, Linn’s top of the line streamer, and pairing the Aries G2 w/ the outboard clock and/or the Vega G2 DAC to share resources (at least according to Auralic).
Best,
