Honest we can understand your pain and confusion.
We sell all the servers you have enquired about and each has its weakness.
We are very big on computer audio and we sell five different server lines:
1:Innous
2:Baetis
3:Naim
4:Aurender
5:NAD
The product we are selling the most of is the Innuous Zen and Zenith.
Why?
1: These devices are designed to Roon Roon as a Roon core, (Roon’s music management software is fantastic and it integrates Tidal and Internet radio into one easy to use compreshensive interface, therefore the box will output MQA as well.
2: Built for music reproduction, Innous builds their onw motherboard, and propreitary USB soundcard. add in an ethernet filter shock mounted hard drives and custom designed operating system you have a box designed specifically to derive a clean data stream to your dac.
3: Excellent reliablity and customer support
4: Burns CD
5: Reasonable pricing from $1,250-$4,200.00 for their most popular models.
Cons:
1: Requires an ethernet connection which can be overcome with a $69 wireless bridge
2: Higher end models only USB again overcome by a usb to spdif adapter if required.
The Naim doesn’t do Tidal or add any other streaming services
The NAD 50.2 is very good as a hard drive server with Raid but sound quality is not as good as the Innous.
Baetis is very good but expensive.
Aurender doesn’t do Roon and does not have a CD ripper.
Computer audio is are speciality along with a great selection of Dacs, Lumin, Mytek, Naim, Nad, Nuprime, LH Labs, Aqua Hifi, and a few others, we are a shop that although we love vinyl we really roll with high end digital.
