I've tested the exact same Software as you on the exact same setup running iTunes via Devialet AIR 3 (public beta). And I also came to the exact same conclusion as you. Audirvana+ outperformed the other ones easily and by far. Crystal clear without sounding clinical or mechanic. Also the easiest to handle (in iTunes mode) together with BitPerfect. So I invested the 70€ and bought it and I am very happy with it.
+ No dropouts whatsoever even in 24/192 while surfing Safari on Mac OS Sierra on a MacBook Air mid 2014.
+ The only one (concerning my experience) with an integer mode
+ very easy to handle.
+ sound is crystal clear and warm while not sounding cold or clinical or mechanical.
Conclusion: Go for it!
