@fastfreight How do you modify the power supply on the Auralic Aries G2.1?

I have a Tambaqui on order. Looking forward to seeing the differences in my system. 
 

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.

 

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

 

If one thought Tidal was bad UX, Qobuz takes the cake. The sound quality is OK - it's loud, not necessarily better. Tidal sends higher resolution, and has nearly 96% of Spotify's library now. Qobuz has about 50%.
