Macbook Pro to Aurender


I am getting more comfortable with high resolution downloads as opposed to physical media (CD, SACD etc ) and am looking to expand my library primarily in that area. For this reason I am thinking of changing from a dedicated MacBook Pro that is used for audio only, ( 512 ssd, external 1TB lacie thunderbolt, running JRiver ) to a dedicated server such as the Aurender x100L or N100H. I would be running it via USB into an MSB Analog Dac. I will still use the MSB UMT+ transport for the occasional disc. Anybody have any thoughts about this move, positive/negative. Other suggestions or experience. thanks.

Glad you are enjoying your Aurender for a music server...do you have a NAS, or RAID interfaced for music back up? What do you use for back up? Did you dealer help with install and configuration? Was it easy to import your old JRiver library, with album art, etc? How do you rip and import a CD into  the AUrender's library? Do you miss access to a big monitor screen to see what you are doing?
Thanks,
Bob
