Yes, it is a little confusing. Basically each different box has a different number of grounding terminals on the back, each terminal able to support up to 2 grounding leads ie ground up to 2 components.
So, the Minimus has 1 terminal which means that your integrated amp AND cdp/dac can be connected (if cdp and dac are separate, then obv. not all 3 can be connected to Minimus). Silver Minimus will also support 2 max, but with better results due to higher quality of unit.
The only issue here is that analog and digital components are best connected to separate ground terminals, which means that Tellus (6 components max on 3 terminals) or Silver Tellus (8 max on 4) will still be most practical choice. Minimus will always restrict you to max 2, and those are best both analog or both digital.
Quite a few customers start off however with a Minimus/Silver Minimus, usu. just to preamp to get the biggest idea of grounding positives, and add on extra Minimus/Silver Minimus at later date if they want to extend the grounding options, or onto Tellus/Silver Tellus.
