Why does the aurender N100h sound so bright and edgy

Yes knghifi ive ordered the bridge ll , is that what your using 

I'm going to go with ps audio bridge ll , I have transparent ref mm2 interconnects 
plus I have  dedicated ac, must be a flaw in the aurender,

Thanks everyone for there comments being an audio file since 1970 , I know if something sounds right or it doesn't, 5 min listening to the aurender , sounded like everything played was MP3 quality,and I immediately checked this out ,as it was a borrowed unit from a friend with music on it, so my only conclusion must be fawlty unit, when aurender is out of system everything is glorious

Using a nas with Mac mini 

I have the direct stream dac as well , using jr, with Mac mini, will purchase bridge || as well , aurender what a disappointment
