Okay, well then, put the Mac Mini on the opposite side of the room, and connect it to your network via Wifi.

Put an Apple Express that's on the same WiFi network in or near your audio rack and connect it to the microRendu with an Ethernet cable, and from the microRendu to the DAC with a USB cable.

The key thing here is that you really don't want to directly connect a Mac Mini to a DAC with a USB cable.
