Munchoba Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi, Just got a new Mini, replacing a 2011 version. I'll be getting a streamer, have a NAS, now wondering what are the advantages of running the new Mac headless? I use Audirvana, Roon, Amarra Luxe. Thanks You two men go that way... QNAP TS-131P->2019 Mac Mini-> -> dCS BArtok -> balanced XLR -> Nagra MPA ->Shunyata Research cables and Hydra 6 -> Acapella La Campanella 2 horn speakers and REL R-328 SubBase.

Ralf11 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 you can turn off some internal processes related to video (if you are a bit-infestation believer) Link to comment
Munchoba Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Thanks. Not certain I'll be able to hear the difference however. You two men go that way...

Paul R Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Well, one advantage is you don’t need the streamer, if you mean a streaming server. Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat DAC. Robert A. Heinlein Link to comment
