Some half random thoughts on this topic.

1. Can't be the same configuration. The MacBook Pro is running a different version of MacOS than the Mini and uses a power brick/battery whereas the Mini is using an internal power supply, no battery.

2. You have tried both USB A ports on the Mini and they both sound like stone doo-doo?

3. You have confirmed that the DAC is seeing the same sample frequency as before?

4. You have removed the Jitterbug from the chain and it still sounds like stone doo-doo on both USB A ports?

5. You have the tried the rotate the AC plug in the outlet trick with no sonic improvement?

6. You do or do not have the Mini plugged into a surge protector?

7. You have written to Craig Federighi and told him he f'ed up the audio handling between the OS on your MacBook Pro and the latest OS and he replied, bits is bits?
