In Reply to: MacMini vs Bryston BDP-1 Compared posted by Dynobot on April 10, 2012 at 07:13:56:
Nowhere in the thread did I find evidence of his old eBay Mac Mini being "highly modded". Where did you get that snippet?
He also mentions that newer 2011 era Mini's have been reported to "sound better". AND... it is not clear that he has set up a true A/B Apples to Apples comparison (no pun intended). He has a mix cables, converters, and DACs as best I can tell.
Not to question what he is hearing and the BDP-1 setup my indeed sound better, but again, it is not clear to me exactly what he is comparing. He also lists the disadvantages of the BDP-1 not being able to access music files from his NAS. The setup in his environment is about as confusing, veiled, and smeared as the text excerpt you chose to post.
