streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1

Hi @kingbarbuda, I have not modded power supply.

Bill at GTT has told me about doing it with a Sean Jacobs power supply which needs to be hard wired inside the Aries.  Pricey but he says it is amazing.

I just ordered the Aries G2.1 to go between my Nucleus and Tambaqui!

I have heard unmodded Aries G2.1 and it definitely enhances Nucleus.

I am also told modded with different power supply is another step up.  For now, I will see what the Aries can do for me, but I did get upgraded pc and usb cable.

Did not think I needed a separate streamer at all, but now that I have heard it....

Hello,  So I received my Aries G2.1 and inserted it between my Nucleus and DAC, with ethernet input and usb out to my Tambaqui DAC.  I got very nice cables, KS realization power cord and usb. The rest of my cables are KS Elation.  But, I installed it with stock power cable and usb cable to see what I got. 

Super easy to set up, using it as Roon Endpoint.  

Wow.  my wife and i were immediately impressed.  Much richer and organic sounding.  More lifelike, more palpable if that makes sense.  Bottom line, it sounds better and to me is worth it.  Can't wait to try the nice cables to see where it goes...

If bits are bits my new bits sound better. :)

So my Aries G2.1 has settled in nicely with the new cables.  It definately sounds better going form Aries (network attached) to Tambaqui via USB than prior with my Tambaqui connected to the network.
