What's wrong with your Mac mini? Is it slow to load or skipping?
I have a Mac mini with Nas SSD drives with roon server running on it. You can get a external CD drive (79$) and burn via iTunes directly to your Nas/external drive in a lossless format.
All in, I probably spent a 1000 dollars on my Mac mini with the Nas and CD drive...
The aurender may be much easier to use though (and u pay for that) but I couldn't hear a difference in my setup when I tried it and I am really comfortable rolling my own configurations so I didn't buy it. Ymmv
