streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1

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%. 

Even though you are responding to a 1-year-old thread I thought I would respond. I've had both Qobuz and Tidal off and on for a year now and just canceled Qobuz for the last time. Honestly despite what many are saying Qobuz does not sound better than Tidal to me. Also, many if not most of the music I listen to is only 44K CD Quality at Qobuz. I could care a less about the whole MQA discussion and just go on what sounds best to me.
