"I run a Mac Mini with firewire external drive and Audirvana+ feeding an M2Tech EVO full stack, then into my AN Kits 3.1 DAC SE. What can I say, it sounds fabulous on Redbook and 96K recordings. "
Astrostar59 or anyone:
I just bought a Mac Mini (i7 16GB RAM, USB 3.0) and have been using a CAL Sigma II DAC on my previous desktop- a W7 PC using optic cable output. But Mac Mini has no optic or S/PDIF co-ax output (right?), so I have to get a DAC with USB input, or get a USB>S/PDIF converter if I wanna still use the CAL Sigma II. I have been considering AudioNote DAC 2.1A kit with USB input option. I am listening to Pandora and TuneIn Radio on the computer. Will eventually expand my audio sources to whatever DAC I have.
Looking for any tips/advice. Was using native SoundBlaster program on motherboard of Windows 7 PC>optic cable>California Audio Labs Sigma II DAC>RCA cables to vacuum tube stereo setup. Have Linn Sondek for vinyl. Plan to use Mac Mini now for computer audio instead of W7 PC. Seeing if there is consensus on equipment that works well with Mac Mini. Is there a preferred connection technology for path between the Mac Mini and DAC's? Thanks, Kip..........
