Yep, very very pleased with AIR3 on my Mac Mini.
Mac Mini in one room wired via ethernet to switch downstairs in closet. ( Cheap $26 8 port gigabit switch from D-Link - DGS-10008G )
Devialet 400 in the music room with ethernet connection to switch downstairs.
NAS in another room with ethernet connection to switch downstairs ( or I can use the Mac Mini with just some USB and SDCards holding ~ 256 GB of music).
RoonServer running on the Mac Mini, also have Tidal subscription.
Playback via a Macbook Pro or iPad Mini.
Wonderful sound, equal to the sound I had when using the microRendu in my system.
I don't miss all the USB accessories, of course your mileage may vary and everyone's ears, rooms and software preferences are different.
That switch by the way is fed from a Apple Extreme which is upstairs and connected to my Motorola cable modem, with service from Comcast.
