Auralic vs Aurender


I'm trying to decide between these two companies for my next purchase. I have been using Bluesound for a few years now. Bluesound Vault 1 and node2 and a node1. Was looking at the Aurender A or N series and the Auralic Aries G1--any thoughts and thanks--

Thanks for that info-- Not really a Roon user- I have it, tried it, not for me. I may try the Aurender then Auralic. Thanks again for the responses!!!
Ps Audio Direct Stream--  I just thought Roon was toooo much of a good thing. I've liked the Bluesound app. I think I like the Aurender app better.

They both have dual usb ports.  One is an output for a DAC and the other is an input for an external HD.  In addition the G2 has an HDMI/I2S output for the Vega 2
