Transport, Touch or Mac Mini to Dac??

I have a PW Dac that I am running straight to my amps.
I have a Touch as a transport now, but am contemplating running a 2010 Mac Mini as a transport/server connected direct USB or converter to the PW Dac. I tried the Bridge but didn't find a lot of difference in comparison to the Touch and the server software is not ready yet.
I also still think that CDs through a high end player sound resolving and good.
Which transport route for maximum performance into the Dac?
Has anyone else tried the 2010 Mac Mini route?

Mr. Bill,

I can't comment on the Touch, but my business partner here at Mach2Music uses the Hi-Face with his 2010 Mach2 Mac Mini and it sounds very good. He enjoys its ability to output hires.

Regards,
Mach2Music

Tvad is right. I may be hopelessly old-fashioned but I bought or was given every one of the 900 or so cds I have ripped to my server. No free lunch!!!
