I was researching these units today and was wondering how good the Ethernet direct into the Vega G2 is. Aurilac seems to prefer wireless, so I was wondering if the Vega's Ethernet is the best connection option?
Aurilac Vega G2 vs Aries G2
Folks,
Anyone have the Vega G2?
For $3,800 you get the streamer. for Another $2k the vega g2, which is a DAC and has the older aries streaming in it. Seems like getting the vega is a bet on the DAC is amazing.
Alternatively, one could get the aries g1 streamer and any dac you like. thoughts?

@yyzsantabarbara In case you haven't seen this, John Darko addresses your question with respect to AURALiC. https://darko.audio/2018/08/ethernet-or-wifi-which-is-better-for-high-end-audio-streaming/ |
Xuanqian Wang may seem to be a lone voice of reason to Darko but I think many engineers feel the same:-
Darko however makes a great point - if you are at all worried about electrical noise than you could use Toslink - it elegantly solves the problem as there is no electrical connection - it has been around a lot longer than wifi (not its first rodeo) and most modern DACs completely reject all the higher jitter that tends to be present on a Toslink interface. So why try something new when there is a better mousetrap designed years ago and thoroughly debugged? There is is very little original stereo music that cannot be transferred bit perfect over optical... just a thought - why not let others blaze a trail and debug a new interface... |
