ATTENTION Current Mac mini/A+ users: Boot Mavericks from an SD card, load a RAMdisk, dismount your internal SATA drives, and pour a drink for the musicians walking out of your speakers!

Great, something new for me to try... I appreciate the creativity it took to come up with this idea and the time you spent doing it. I have a question though, how did you make a RAMDisk?

I have not personally compared the 2014 USB ports, but on the 2011 and 2012 models that came just before, the best sounding ports were clearly #1 and #3.

(#1 being the one furthest to the outside edge of the computer and #4 being the one closest to the center.)

Try it and hear--and let us know.  In my system (with a 2012 mini), I can say with certainty that ports 2 and 4 sound a lot worse than 1 and 3.

 

Now that is interesting.  I had only made sure that my DAC wasn't plugged into the same USB Controller as the Bluetooth Controller.
