streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1

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

You heard it before? I red that G2.1 can sound HI-FI compare to Lumin.

Are u planing to upgrade power supplay?

I added an Acopian linear power supply ($140 on ebay) with a power supply board ($115) to my Bluesound Node 2i streamer ($430) and it sounds incredible for $685, total.

I’m not sure why I’d pay $2100 for the Lumin or $5700 for the Aries G2, but perhaps you have certain needs for higher rez outputs that I don’t have.

Some of the best audiophiles I know in my area (Denver/Front Range) use Raspberry Pi with linear power supplies. I like the interface and ease of the Bluesound, but wanted to upgrade the sound, and the advice of these folks was, basically, "spend good money on a DAC and make sure you have a linear powersupply for your streamer."

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....
