Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini?


I'm looking for a streamer that cost around $2,000 to replace my Mac Mini. I'm torn between the Auralic S1, Lumen U2 Mini, and the Eversolo A8. Any suggestions out of those 3? Using the dac in my Macintosh MA9500. 

Thanks

@audiotroy It's about now where you begin to second guess whether you should have been overly generous...$150 would be a small price to pay today for the chance to unring the bell huh?

@audiotroy -- I was just offering info, not an opinion one way or the other. Your initial response to @brunomarcs gave the impression that you were not familiar with the situation.  His comment -- a sarcastic jab -- was perfectly clear to me in light of what had transpired.

I'd say check software that controls the unit first. Many streamers pretty much require Roon. I don't want to pay for sub, so I got Aurender. 

@mikhailark

site says it runs RTLinux, so what did take 5 years of development?

The software that runs on the OS.
