Aries G1 in great condition. Boxed with instructions, etc. Can provide more pictures if needed.
A few months ago I decided to investigate the recommendations in a few Auralic forums about the Hoer Wege power supply upgrade for the G1.
It's a significant investment (540 euros), and required an internal swap out, but it made a huge difference to the audio quality of the G1. The differences are not subtle - to me my streaming services (Quobuz) come across as much more analogue and luscious and its removed a slight harshness and grain to the HFs that were there in the standard G1. With my new DAC I've now been completely satisfied with a streaming audio subscription as my primary music source.
Selling this only as I've taken a punt on an ex-demo G2.1 Aries (which I plan to upgrade with the Hoer Wege G2.1 PSU).
Regards, John
Price has to reflect the money spent on this upgrade - £1700 firm
Please note - the 1 year warranty that Auralic provides is only available to the original owner, so any used/second hand Auralic devices are not covered by their warranty, as far as I know. Hoer Wege provides a 2 year warranty for their upgrade PSU (1.5 years remain remain on this). A lot of folks have now done this upgrade and I've personally never seen any testimonies of G1 or G2/G2.1 failure post upgrade, nor any feedback questioning the value of this upgrade.
