My preferred input on the DS Sr. for the Aries G1 is AES/EBU. Not interested in devices like the Matrix 2 and all the necessary bits and pieces to get I2S. Tried the W4S Recovery and didn't hear any real improvement with this combo of gear.
Someone asked Ted last month about internal parts upgrades to the Directstream and I didn't get the impression that another PerfectWave style upgrade would happen again but rather a full replacement with a larger and newer FPGA module.
