Which should I do between Mac Mini or Auralic Mini

@brianportugal  Yes, a good linear power supply will make a big difference on any streamer/network player. That's a big part of the cost difference(~$300 worth) in the various Aurelic models. 


@eddy1 , Spotify sound quality is mediocre, not even CD quality. Tidal will sound better regardless of your hardware choices. Cheers,

brian, here's a link to the specific model. I also got the Ultra upgrade, which is essentially an additional filter.

If you're in the US, you must buy from a dealer. I used TweakGeek for the Auralic and SBooster.

As sbank says, an upgrade PSU makes a big difference, and this one seems more robust than Auralic's own, though in all fairness I've never heard that one. Of course, the SBooster doubles the cost of the Mini (plus Tidal), but it's worth the money, IMO.
