I find the sound to be very analog, if not better without the clicks and pops, and the background noise is not there.
I do have a VPI Classic 1 with a great cartridge, and I prefer the Auralic Aries G2
I connect to my 220PRO by USB.

Thanks for the reply, Brian!
That's exactly what attracts me with the Auralic: the analog-like sound. Having listened to the Aries Femto for a few days, I was totally taken by the smooth and clean sound. Now that you mention it to be a feature of the G2, I guess it is can also be heard with the G1, even though the G2 is a step higher than the G1.
I never suffered from pops and clicks in any of the streamers I tested, but I mostly disliked bright and flat sound (except the Aurender N100H).
It looks like nothing can go wrong when choosing the G1 as the streamer.
