Mac mini v server

After lurking these threads for some time I decided to post as I need so e advice. Currently using a Mac mini 2012 with ssd and 8gb ram running audirvana plus as a server and with the outlay of a linear PSU the next logical step in that journey I've read a few articles by John Darko and the like stating a significant difference in sound quality with an entry level Antipodes server v a modded mini. I guess I'm at a crossroads on this and wondering what you guys have experienced?

I'm currently running a lampizator big 5 with dueland caps into a New Audio Frontiers 300b supreme limited edition into sierra 1 speakers(to be replaced by bastanis matterhorns) shortly.

Any advice or personal experience greatly appreciated :)

Its hard to beat the Antipodes. I have used it at shows. I use a Mac Mini at home, but it has a lot of tweaks and a $1K Hynes power supply. For compressed file, the Antipodes is better. For .wav, about the same with my Mini.
