Upgradimg the power supply to the Aurlic Aries for a big improvement sound right on the mark!
 

I owned a Aurlic Aries G2 for about a year… while it was clearly better than computers and MACs… it did not have a dead quiet background.
 

I traded it in for a Aurender,  the background quieted significantly… I now own a Aurender N100 and W20SE. One of the things that really differentiate them from their competition is their relentless work on power supplies. My W20SE performs at the level of my really great analog end but with a lower noise floor. 

@roxy54 which  canary preamplifier  did you get? They are really wonderful  no magazine reviews so they are the unknown  great preamplifier s made in the USA with no pree! Glad you are enjoying  it. Don't let To many people.know lol or the price will go up! 

My system for the last few months consisted of the following.

FLAC files on SSD -->> Bryston BDP-1 streamer -->> Bryston BDA-1 DAC -->> Schiit Freya+ Preamp ->> Pass XA60.5 monoblocks -->> Wilson WP 6

I decided to remove the Bryston BDA-1 and Schiit Freya+ and replace them with a Wadia 15 DAC. I am only a few days since the change, but it is very clear that the bass is tighter with the Wadia and everything just seems more relaxed. Time will tell though.

I was a little leery about using a DAC/Preamp combo (Wadia 15) since I have tried this before with a much newer Wadia 321. The experiment with the 321 did not end well., but things seem to be working out fine with the 15.

Marvin Gaye has never sounded better in my house.

Antipodes S30 server/streamer and S20 reclocker, including upgraded power supply for each, fiber network, and good quality AES digital cable. This setup replaced my Win10 PC interface via USB and I could not be more pleased with the sonic improvements.

Aurender W20SE

replaces Chord 2go/2yu
