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 :)

I have a Mac Mini 2011 with 500GB SSD burned with all my favorite CD and Linear PSU. Itune and Amarra updates (free) make my system sound better each time.
I have reservations about the server ($2K +) concept. Large financial outlay, minimal flexibility. It may sound great TODAY, but there is tomorrow. Digital is progressing at the blink of an eye.
