I would agree that the G1 sounds slightly better but look at the cost of the G1 ! I have one.
Heres my list in order of best sounding streamers ,best being no 1 that i have listened to:
- Auralic G1
- Auralic Femto with a Sbooster
- Ifi Zen Stream,really close to the Auralic Femto)
- Ultrarendu with Sbooster
- Volumio Primo(very good for the money ) stock power .Probably tied with Ultrarendu
- Cambridge CXN v2 (overhyped)
- Pro-ject Ultra tied with Cambridge
