In Reply to: Mac Mini M2 USB-out Sounds Horrible . . . posted by Jim A. on October 26, 2024 at 07:57:27:
My previous Mac Mini music server was the 2012 Intel i7 quad core. I ran it on its stock internal power supply and an external 12v linear power supply. Not much difference in sound quality.Today I'm running a stock Mac Mini M1 which sounds the same.
One thing to consider is to ensure that the USB DAC is on a dedicated Mac USB bus / controller. You can see the USB tree in System Information -> USB. And of course make sure your software is setup properly. If you can't find the System Information icon just do a spotlight search (the magnifying glass) and input "System Information" [Enter] which will launch it.
P.S. What does this mean? It makes no sense to me: "My largish outboard NAS storage threatened to overwhelm the MacBook Pro OS.". If I'm not running my Mac Mini as the music server (for Roon), I'm running Roon on the Synology NAS.
