I just switched from using AIR ETH and USB with a Mac Mini to a Moon Mind 180 streamer and the sound quality difference is noticeable. The streamer sounds better. It just seems a little smoother on the top end, a little less harsh and simply conveys music in a more natural sounding manner. After three days of listening and going back to my top 20-30 tracks as reference, vocals seems more natural sounding with a wider more spatial sound.
Perhaps once the AIR software issue is resolved, I may decide to revisit using AIR but for the time being I am happy to be able to get better quality sound from a streamer, removing the computer from the equation and reintroducing UPnP to the mix.
