Music server


I am considering acquiring a music server. Looking at the Innous  statement, baetis reference , wolf red wolf and the aurender w-20. I recognize this is new territory with many variables and nuances such as internal vs external storage, internal cooling fans, Emi  noise, etc etc. my dac is an Ayre qx5 20, so I have aes/ebu in as well as usb and would also appreciate comments as to which is the better output from the server into the dac.  Thanks so much

I have the Innuos Zenith MKIII.  Looked at several other bands before purchasing the Innuos, even models costing significantly more.  After a few months of ownership, I continue to be highly impressed.  It was an easy decision to go with Innuos (functionality, sound quality, build quality, ease of use).  The Statement was above my budget.  Good luck with your search!
I did a Roon trial with my Innuos Zenith.  Really liked it.  Great interface, intuitive, rich feature-set...... I decided to hold off purchasing the lifetime subscription for now and switched to iPeng.  It is not in the same category but works.  Innuos is coming out with their own player app.  I heard talk that it will rival Roon.  Thus, I am holding off with purchasing Roon until I see what the Innuos player app has to offer.
