Thank you. I am currently using AES/EBU connection from the Berkeley into my 800. Mac Mini with Audirvana has been the source. Using the Berkeley solved all of the Audirvana air issues. I found this combination to be preferable to Air ethernet but am still breaking in a new USB and AES/EBU cable. Noting, I was very happy with the Air ethernet. To my ears, the new set-up is a bit more natural sounding with some added width/depth to the soundstage.
I will post some thoughts on the Aurender with this combo when it arrives.

I hope you enjoy it! I must admit to being slightly jealous! Are you using AIR at the moment? If so I am sure many people on here would be interested how the Aurender souds in comparison.
Any observations regarding ease of use and functionality would obviously be of much interest also.
