“What I really like about the software is when you have it installed on a PC or windows tablet it will stream whatever you are playing on your computer to any system (s) you choose. No USB cables, no hassle it just works.“

I have a similar setup in my entire house except my ManCave. I have been using SONOS for last 15 years for causal listening + home theater.
If you like being in DTS Play-Fi ecosystem then it’s perfectly ok to pursue a hardware that offers the best SQ within their ecosystem. I only brought up Aurender cause you were raving about DSD in your post which in my opinion requires a very high quality streamer or transport. When I think of high quality streaming or DSD playback, the Paradigm Link or MB50 is not what I think or consider to be in same realm as Aurender or Innuos and Lumin (no offense). The only way for you to access if it is worth pursuing Aurender or something similar is by comparing them in your system. You may end up liking MB50 more than Aurender cause MB50 simply gels better in your system, cost less and sound close enough to Aurender.
PS: I didn’t build my system overnight, it took lots of trial and error over the last 5 years.
