Servers: Are we there yet?

@hcalland Im' also using Lumin T1 and A1 before. and now getting a U1 to improve the system. 
And i believe you already updated your power supply from your T1 correct? if not this is the step ONE to improve.

@ben2300 Actually I started out with a Lumin D-1, and upgraded to the A-1. It of course has the external power supply, and I used a Synology NAS. Need to choose a backup option now.  Loving the convenience and sound quality. 

I will ill be interested in your thoughts on the U-1.

jrun, Let us know how your setup sounds after you've had some time to listen to it.

For the last 18 months or so I've had an MMS-5A media server from Autonomic Controls.  It needs to be connected via a wired ethernet connection to the home network.  It also has an iPad/Android app to use content.  But it also has a Windows app, that can be used instead of the iPad/Android app.
I use iTunes to manage my library of digital content (AIFF files), and Autonomic has an app you can install on your Windows machine to "automagically" sync content to the server. It also connects to all my streaming services (Tidal, Spotify & Tunein).  It also has a wonderful app that "automagically" backs up the content to my Google Drive account.
I've been very happy with the unit.  The iPad app is not great, but it gets the job done.
The unit has a built in DAC, which I have never used, as I have an external DAC, using the coax connection (my Windows laptop uses the USB input on the DAC).

I am replacing my Mac mini. The Aurender N100H was nice but the N10 was amazingly better, IMO, with a larger soundstage and natural bass. I am interested to know if anyone has compared the Aurender N10 to the Melco?
