streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1

I have an Auralic Aries G2.1 and it sounds great. I also have a LUMIN U1 mini that is currently sitting on the side lines. But may put it back in to compare. I have sold the Sonore UltraRendus that I used to own. 

Thank you all.

I am going with Aries G2.1 and will upgrade power suplly later..

I own the ARIES G2.1 and absolutely love it. The app is superb and the connection to wifi has never failed me, which was a big part of my streaming needs. It’s built like a tank, and does everything I need from it with no fuss, which again is a major part of what you want from a streamer. Very much a fit and forget product, other than how nice it is to look at.

I too was looking at the Vega G2.1 because of its superior connection to the ARIES, however the Chord TT2 is much better value and provides all the sound quality through USB, despite some peoples assertion it’s a terrible connection. Speak to any dealer, I speak to plenty, none of them state USB isn’t a good connection. 

If you have a link to the power supply upgrade I’m interested in that, I haven’t seen anything on it before.

In addition to the Lumin and Auralic products, also have a look at Matrix Audio's line.  The Matrix Element X and X Sabre Pro get excellent reviews (as Lumin products do). FWIW, the Element X measured a little better in ASR testing than the Auralic Vega. I don't know if ASR has tested Lumin products.  However, the Element X does use the more advanced ES9038PRO chip than the ES9028 chips used in the  $10K Lumin P1. I'd expect all these devices to sound good, so you might want to focus on price and the specific features that matter (or don't matter) to you.  Then there's the warranty plus after-purchase service/support.  

Gerrie- I agree, why Tidal?  Spending all that money to use an inferior streaming service when Qobuz is available almost everywhere.
