I've heart that the law of diminishing returns is into play when you use high res streaming and compare to devices half of the price. So although the G2 is the best the difference in high res streaming is subtle. Can you confirm this? Perhaps you had the opportunity to compare with the G1 (which does not have the opportunity to link an external master clock)?
Stino
You are correct with the law of diminishing returns like all hi end audio, the G2 is nearly
twice the price of the Aurender N100H but I do not get twice the sound from it, but what I get to me its worth it.
No I did not have a chance to check out the G1, but it sound like it could be a real winner.
The G2 is already a Roon end point, could it become a Roon Core Server lets hope so.

Thanks for posting the link, I had already checked that page out.
The problem I am having is trying to select a single track, if I tap on the track I want
it will play that track and add all the files below to the playlist.
I have to find an simple way of add only one track

It takes a 2.5" drive, no limitations on the size.
Yes the USB input sounding better than the AES/EBU is a big surprise to me as well.

Interesting about the USB.

Yes it is beautiful inside, looks like it was made with care.
I can not believe that the USB sounded better than the AES/EBU but not just to me
but to 3 other people as well.

Did you manger to find the price point of the G1, as I am sure it will be a winner.
Thanks all Brian
