Did you change from GG to Premier? If so, what drove this presumable upgrade for you? Was it the sound quality, convenience (i.e. no tubes, renderer input simplicity) or a combination of both? How are they different in sound quality?
I was considering upgrading to the GG2, but the comments from many recent MSB converts has me pausing before making a decision. Would any of you with knowledge of both lend your insights? Thanks!
Background: I upgraded from a Luxman DA6 to the GG a few years ago. It was the most significant upgrade in my 30 some years in this hobby. I’m using the Taktsuki 274B rectifier and KR 300B Balloon tubes. Prior to the Luxman I had an LIO-8 pro audio DAC, Berkeley original, and an Esoteric UX3 upgraded by Steve Huntley, among many others.
Audiopath starts with Roon and HQPlayer on my office PC, upsampling everything to DSD256, then sending to a CAPsv3 silent computer (NAA) powered by an Uptone Linear PS in my 23’x28’x10’ dedicated room. From there it goes to my GG via Lightspeed USB, then to ARC Ref5SE, then to ARC 75SE, then to Zu Definition Mk4.
