Just remembered this solution this morning. I actually implemented this solution in my system to very good effect.
1) Get an Apple Airport Express. Put it near or on your audio rack.
2) Connect it to your network via Wifi.
3) Run an Ethernet cable from the Apple Airport Express to a Sonore microRendu with the one of the Ethernet cables I recommended.
4) Connect a good quality USB cable from the microRendu to your Schiit Modi 3 DAC
5) This is key....move your Mac Mini somewhere else. Preferably to another room. Connect to it to your network via Wifi.
6) You can use Roon or MinimServer, etc, to stream from your Mac Mini functioning as a server to the microRendu.
This will sound considerably better than connecting a USB cable directly from your Mac Mini to the Schiit Modi 3.
