Article: Computer Audiophile Pocket Server - C.A.P.S.

[bmckenney]

I have a serious question. Is there any benefit to this type of server over a Mac Mini with some tweaks like a SSD? It seems to me a Mac Mini (headless) would be cheaper and simpler and still meet all the requirements. Add in an async USB or FW DAC. Anyway, just curious what your thoughts are on the pro's and con's of a custom server like the Pocket Server verus a Mac Mini. Especially interested in sound quality differences but I understand the player software won't be the same.<br />
