"My reasoning is, we've all noticed Shrinkflation; a form of inflation, most common in food and beverage, that consists of reducing a product's size while maintaining its retail price. I've also noticed this in other products, everything is thinner, cheaper, weaker...than before."The size of the Mac Mini hasn't changed in 15 years so I doubt there's any shrinkflation going on here. On the other hand, the performance has increased substantially and prices have actually gone down.
Not that any of that has much of an impact on sound. The DAC is where the rubber meets the road in terms of sound quality. The computer, not so much.... assuming the system is properly setup.
