I'm using the Innuos with a Gustard R26 r2r dac which is paired with a LHY ock-2 clock. I suspect your Aero is it's equal, or more likely better. I had mostly been using my Denon DCD-1700NE sacd player and preferred it to streaming with a Node or with the Gustard renderer. After purchasing the Innuos, my preference changed to streaming. Innuos makes more expensive streamers, but I don't feel the need to spend more to potentially get something better. I was fortunate to find a like new Innuos that still had a year of warranty remaining.
I did some cable swapping to get things where I really like them. I'm pretty happy with where I've ended up.
I'm in my 6th decade, so I'm also thinking of things in terms of a final step.
