Has anyone experienced a difference in sound quality between various servers when playing over the network - specifically Roon's RAAT?

Many years ago I ran Roon Core on a Mac Mini. The endpoint was a microRendu via RAAT.

 

One of the most significant upgrades up to that point came from powering the Mac Mini off an Uptone JS-2.  
 

I think it’s important to consider what changed and what didn’t change when those moved to different servers and hear no difference.  If one server was equipped with a significantly better power supply I would expect that a difference would be heard.

The 2 box PSU is out of this world. In my setup I didn't find anything I liked better. 

Thanks for sharing the photos.  Impressive.
