RE: Core Audio Mac mini

It kind of depends on whether you want to learn the Mac and do some easy tweeking yourself to get started... or you just want an 'appliance'.

The potential problem I see in getting a completely turnkey system is that you won't know how the basic Mac environment works let alone how the custom tweeks work. If something ever goes wrong you'll be at the mercy of Core Audio to fix it.... and possibly their specific OS load as well.

I've seen some other guys get hosed with MOJO Audio tweeks. The system gets corrupt and the user has no clue where to start looking.

You could get a basic Mini, learn a bit about Mac OS, software installation, backup / restore strategy, disabling unneeded processes, etc. If you still feel the need for a custom Mini, you will at least know a little bit about what's going on under the hood.

Just my 2-cents worth.
