Default Aurender N100H vs MacBook Pro/Audirvana

I recently upgraded my Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC to a Twenty. So to complete my streaming upgrade I purchased an Aurender N100H used, hooked it up to the Ethernet (I had used WiFi on the MacBook), and connected it to the Ayre with a Kimber USB cable. Now I changed a bunch of things at once in the process, so I realize this is not scientific, but after running Tidal in HiFi DSD mode all I can say is that my streaming listening is completely transformed. It’s a revelation and now streaming is not the red headed stepchild of my system.
