Based on comments/reviews posted on here and elsewhere I'll attempt a rough ranking of streamers/music players in terms of SQ - best first 
You're very welcome to shoot me down in flames for posting this because I havent heard all/many of these Has anyone? [EDIT: I believe that Guillaume and Rufus have ]
Melco N1Z
(Antipodes DX - reportedly very good)
TotalDAC D1 Server
Melco N1A
Aurender X100L/N100/N100H
Linn Akurate DSM
Naim NDX (I would rate the Naim NDX and by implication the models rated higher in the list as good as or better than AIR)
Auralic Aries/Aries LE
Simaudio Moon Mind
Others that fit in somewhere in the list: Aurender N10/W20, Antipodes DS, NAD M50, Wadia M330, Bryston BDP-2 etc
Given that we're talking about fairly small differences in SQ between some models the ranking will be system, environment and connection dependent...
