Just to be clear - the system you described above is NOT a simple computer->USB->USB DAC->stereo setup that you alluded to in your earlier post. Rather it more like one of those "whole house" system from the days before the advent of wireless streaming. All you are doing is replacing the central tuner/CD player with a Mac Mini->USB DAC setup. That being said I will acknowledge that the Mac Mini setup can be remotely controlled via a laptop or tablet so it is step up from the older "whole house" audio system.
