@arafiq the wolf server does not need anything but a keyboard, a mouse and a nice usb audio cable. If someone is looking to stream dsd they need the usb anyway so i dont count that in the cost.
The u1 is $6100
the used aurender was 16g
As far as sound quality.... the stage is incredible. You can mentally zoom in on the individual performers just like at a real concert. The detail is staggering, and ill say i have improved dynamics, air, and tonal accuracy.
I grew up in a studio and have been critical about sound my whole life. The op asked for opinions... i just went through the same thing as the op and this is where i landed. Take it or leave it.
