Six months ago I traded in a Marantz NA11 for an Auralic Aries G1, which I traded in again two weeks ago for a G2.1.
That's one of the nicest upgrades I've made in the past ten years!
A streamer or renderer from Aurender had been on my wish list for years, precisely because of its sounding, but the G2.1 in my set offers at least equivalent performance in combination with a more user-friendly operation. I experience the Lightning DS app as clear and stable.
In short, I am very happy with it. Recommended
