You lot are the ones who 'beat' up inmates who don't agree with you, especially the vendors.
Some of the statements about what makes MACs sound best have little basis in fact, such as notebooks have 'less' electrical interference than other models. No such generalised statments can be made other than perhaps specific attributes in specific versions of hardware.
Most PC audio inmates go the opposite way to you guys, who prefer fanned systems, large RAID hdds with blowers in them, and inferior built-in switching power supplies, run with wonder software that somehow ameliorate hardware deficiencies. Some are even happy with Max Mini optical outputs and promote them over electrical usb/spdif transfer.
