This is all great information guys, thanks. I’m still amazed how good this 2011 macmini sounds , it is a bit slow searching on occasion (honestly we’re talking a few seconds rather than instantaneous) on Roon . I have my macmini on the opposite side of the room connected to my dac with a wire world platinum 3m usb cable as I don’t have the bridge installed in my DirectStream, sound quality is excellent as I never hear any fan noise. When you compare the price of a nicely equipped Mac mini to a Roon Nucleus plus the Mac mini is a much better value as it has more hp , includes a ssd already installed and is less expensive .
