RE: Audiostream: Simaudio MIND Ethernet Streamer Beats Mac Book Pro

I'm sure this is a nice sounding server, however too many variables here to conclude that the server is fundamentally better than a fully tweaked Macbook.

AES compared to a USB interface on some DAC. Not apples to apples. USB interfaces on most DACs are junk. This is why so many people use external USB converters, even with USB DACs.

The playback software used on the Mac is also critical, as is the ripper. These could easily skew the results.

Did he do all of the S/W tweaks to the MacBook? Is he using the stock wall-wart?
