Had the same issue but once I took the ribbon cable off on both sides and re-seated it everything came on. One side is easier to get on than the other. So do the more difficult side first.
I am going to bring my Aries in to a technician for repair. The power supply is good. I believe that the computer ribbon connector at the display end to be faulty. I am having difficulty finding a local technician to do the repair. I will research further in the morning.
I’m having an old friend who is good with this type of stuff come over tomorrow to help me out. He is very talented with this type of stuff and he should be able to help me out.

My streamer works! The computer ribbon was loose. The sound is nice. The only thing and it’s not too bad is that the display has a bit of a green tinge to it. Does anyone else notice this with the upgraded power supply.

My display crapped out but the streamer still works. No display on the Aries.
It’s gotta be “their” fault.
I upgraded mine a few months ago and the screen works fine. Check to see if the connectors are not loose from the cable. Contacting Aries for a replacement cable might be an option.
It’s obviously the ribbon connector or the clip the ribbon connector hooks onto. The streamer sounds good already but I will check out fixing the display.
The sound is very nice 
Happy cake day!

The new power supply sounds awesome. It likes at least 100 hours play to sound really good. I found the sound a bit dull but good before burn in on the power supply.

My Hoer-Wege power supply for my Aries G2 is with US Customs. This thread has been enlightening on what to expect and what to watch out for. Thanks all, I am looking forward to joining the club!

My Aries G2.1 sounds awesome but the display needs to be replaced or repaired. It is the clip which holds the ribbon cable which is broken. Not the end of the world but I will one day have it repaired. The main thing is that the streamer sounds good. It rivals my PST with Dragon HDMI I2S cable. The Aries is connected to my DSD with a Wel Signature AES/EBU cable which is top of the line Audioquest digital cable. My streamer and PST are very close in sound quality. The Hoer-Wege likes burn in.

Hi, can I ask how many hours the H-W PSU takes to reach its potential? I just powered up my Aries G2 with a newly installed H-W PSU and I want to resist the temptation to form impressions too soon. Thanks.

I noticed a slight difference immediately but things improved a bit over the first 100 hours or so and then stabilized. Nothing outrageous.

I’m floored on just how much better my sound is. I don’t even bother with my PST as they both sound so similar.My PST may have the edge but it is close.

Five minutes in, I was thinking, “Uh oh, what have I done?”
At six hours of continuous playing time, I thought, “It sounds different – in some ways better and in some ways worse than stock, but overall it is worse than stock.”
I am now at fourteen hours of continuous play, and the grating treble edge at which I winced at the outset and which was still lingering at six hours appears to be gone. The soundstage is noticeably wider than with the stock PSU, and instruments sound more natural. Hopefully, the H-W PSU continues to burn in / settle in over the next few days. At this point, though, I am satisfied with the upgrade.

I had a similar reaction to the H-W power supply when I first got it going. It will sound quite a bit better than stock after around 140 hours or so. It will improve over the next few hundred hours. I must admit that although the upgraded Aries sounds good that my PST still sounds better but it is pretty close. It depends on the recording I play.
