This is the Audiophile section of the forum and the macmini -> USB DAC seems to be the "official" audiophile way to play (NOT stream) digital files (except for flac files) so I guess that it is the way to go provided you don't mind: 1) iTunes and its terrible music library management capabilities (I'm really stretching the meaning of "capabilities" here since iTunes has basically no coherent music library management ability) 2) Having to manually manage iTunes when switching between digital audio files with different bit rates or 2a) buying a third party to manage the playback of different bit rates Other than these few issues the audiophile approved macmini -> USB DAC setup is the way to go!
