I have the Bluesound but I don't know much about the Aurender. The Bluesound has an ok DAC but sounds much better when I play it through external DACs that cost several times the price of the Vault. It sounds indistinguishable from any other digital source run through the same DACs.
I would imagine the Aurender must have a killer DAC if it costs that much. I don't know what other features it has vs the Bluesound. My advice would be to get the Bluesound and use it for a while. You can always upgrade the DAC for far less than the differential in price between these two products
