I have found that Innous changes the sound of the music (waveforms), even when it's used purely as a network streamer. They do some smoothing or modification of the waveforms using DSP.
The Auralic has been described as sounding "dryer" than the Innous, but I really think it means that Auralic is more neutral and uncolored. The Innous definitely has a sonic signature. Many people love the Innous, but it depends on what kind of sound you want.
