Music Serviers: Wyred 4 Sound MS-2 or Aurender N100H

I'm looking to replace my Mac Mini music server, potentially with Wyred 4 Sound MS-2 or Aurender N100H

Which sounds best and is easiest to use?

It removes the leanness and digital hash from my previous PC set-up with JRiver. To optimise its performance, you can add the $400 iFi USB 3.0 for better timing/pace/rhythm, which makes my system sound right and musical every single time. J. :) :) :)
