My 12 year old mac mini is slow and sometimes erratic in start up. It is also not able to talk to my ipad or iphone, so I am thinking to get either a new mac mini (M2 or M4?) But I keep thinking of the Blue sound node and the Roon nucleus as similarly priced alternatives.
Some basic questions
Is a streamer a better option than a mac mini if I use my (Chord Hugo) DAC?
What is the advantage of a NAS versus just streaming from apple music library?
Full disclosure not much of an interest in DSD, only use I tunes to Amarra right now.
