Music Server - Baetis

Does anyone have any experience with Baetis as a music server?  I currently have a Emm Lab Dac 2X V2 with a Lumin A-1 acting as a transport.  I also have a Synology 4tb NAS where all of my music is stored and I subscribe to Tidal.  My system is strictly two channel....no vinyl, no cd's.  My amp is a Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 tube amp that generates around 68wpc.  My speakers are Sonus Faber Amati Homage Tradition.   I am very happy with my sound quality but am always looking to improve it if that is possible.  I really do like the ease of the Lumin App on my Ipad.  My budget for a music server if I were to go that route would be between $4-10k.  Thoughts please.

Wisnon....have you heard the Laufer?  I never heard of it until now and am doing research on it.  That item retailed for $57k.  Seems like a typo to me.  As I said I am not listening to any CD's nor do I plan on ripping any either.  Tidal is important to me so is ease of handling through my Ipad.  Do you think the Laufner fits that requirement?

Wow, this is an old thread.  I ended up getting an 8tb Lucas Audio LDMS music server.  It is the one component that made the biggest impact on my system.  It is a Roon Core run from my IPAD.  The clarity and detail of my digital are supreme.  I also considered Taiko.  I ended up with LDMS after talking to Lucas Domansky on multiple occasions.  I view him as a computer genius.  I get basically 24/7 customer service if I need it.  Lucas is out of Poland and the UK.  He remotely set up my server and everything has worked great.  Wadax is way above my affordability level.  My LDMS was less than Taiko but more than Baetis.  I am super happy with my LDMS.  My other source is a Lampi Pacific but I have the new Horizon on order.
