This is why I think we in Oz (and other similar countries) are better off because we have 230V or 240V standard supply voltage. Same power draws less amps than in 110V countries. What's next?...

Same for me, its a keeper

I think that streaming with the Aries G2.1 to the Tambaqui is better than direct to the Tambaqui and using it as a Roon end point. Not much in it though. I have ethernet to the Aries, I don't find...

Was also thinking the same thing in terms of the heart of a simple high quality system. However, I recently purchased a Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC, although it has less of a preamp function in terms of...

Well, 2 1/2 yrs ago, Roon lifetime was AUD900, I just took a deep breath and jumped on

I jumped straight to lifetime 2 1/2 yrs ago, it was a no-brainer

Couple of things:

It's not as if its 50% better, changes like this are always more subtle than that at this level of equipment and take a bit of time to discern. The Vega G2.1 is no slouch I must...

As I foreshadowed, my XP22 arrived a week ago and I was able to unpack and install it last weekend. I have provided a couple of happy snaps for that process. Have had a short time so far to evaluate...

Peter,

Yes the Aries G2.1 is a digital transport only. I have a couple of options for control. I generally use the Auralic app Lightning DS. Contrary to your intel, it is actually an excellent...

Peter,
Thanks for your comments. I guess at the time of my original post I was looking for potential “one box” solutions to simplify my setup. I had committed to the Pass Labs X260.8 which I’ve had...

OK, have an XP22 coming in the next couple of days. also swapped out an Auralic Vega G2.1/Leo GX.1 for a Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC. Should be good to set the XP22 up with the Tambaqui and my analog...

I am pleased to advise that my XP22 preamp has arrived in Melbourne and will be sent to Adelaide in the next couple of days. One other major change that has happened in the last couple of weeks is...

The Tambaqui DAC arrived yesterday, it replaces an Auralic Vega G2.1 DAC and a Leo GX.1 master clock. I was surprised by how small it is, very easy to set up, the app is very straightforward and it...

Mola Mola is the name of the bony Ocean Sunfish

Tambaqui is the name of a fresh water South American fish

All very fishy! LOL

Thanks for your extensive comments. Will be interesting to compare the Aries via USB to the MM with Roon through the MM. don’t have an abundance of input sources! 🤣

Just about to take delivery of a Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC in a couple of days. Will post some observations in due course, but just wondering whether any other users would care to share any experiences...

I will also add that the Lumin app will control Auralic devices and play files as well. Not that I need it, as Lightning DS is very good, but it’s an option

I have actually sold my Leo GX.1 and about to sell the Vega G2.1 Now looking at replacing with a Mola Mola Tambaqui. dcs Bartok undoubtedly good, but probably a few too many $$$

The Auralic Lightning DS control app is very good

OK, that's good. I'm thinking of Mola Mola or EMM Labs, without breaking the bank too much :rolleyes:

Hi SRC666

Apologies for the double post, but I didn't quote the context. I'm interested to know if you upgraded for the Vega G2 and to what?

cheers
Malcolm

Hi,

Just wondering whether you upgraded from the Vega G2 and what with? I'm in a similar situation myself

cheers, Malcolm

It's a little bit out of the quoted price range, but just wondering if there is any love for the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC in this thread

I certainly hope so. I waited four months for the X260.8’s. The XP22 was allegedly going to be 3-4 weeks in mid-June, it’s now been over three months. Maybe it’s on a slow boat to Oz! 🤣🤣
