Aurender N100h vs. SOtM sms-200 Ultra


In your opinions, which is a better sounding file player, the Aurender N100h or the SOtM sms-200 Ultra? I realize the Aurender is over twice as much, but the fancy Conductor app is not really a big deal to me. I'm just interested in the best USB output to my DAC from an attached SSD.

Thank you.

Which DAC are you using with your N100h.
I am also considering replacing my Mac/Audirvana combo feeding a Weiss DAC2 via FireWire.
I would likely have to use a N100c since my DAC does not have a USB input but has an S/Pdif input. 

Also, where I live the internet signal (cellular based) is very unstable so I would likely not be able to use the streaming option of an Aurender but I could still (I suppose) connect my HDD to it (or load up its internal drive) and play music with the Conductor app using my iPad could I not? Or must it be connected to a network via Ethernet?
Thanks
