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.

I also used to have a MacBook Pro as my source and also moved onto a server. I ended up with the Salk server and have been very pleased with the improvement in sonics and ease of use. I've never heard the Aurender or Antipodes, but would love it if someone did a shoot out with all three.
