you can't build a "reference" system with a MAC mini IMO.
Seems to me that making an assumption that digital file playback with a commercial computer is somehow equal to SOTA TTs and SOTA CD/Universal players or transports/DACs is just silly.
I've never heard of anyone who owns an APL, DCS, Meitner, or Audio Aero say that they can get computer/digital file playback to get anywhere near them spinning CDs. Some of these people have the distinct advantage of running a highly modified and upgraded commercial PC directly into their transport/DAC creating an excellent and easy A/B test.
