Apple Mac Mini as a music server

Looking to see if anyone has used a mac mini as a music server? If so please respond on how and what your set is. Also are you using a external DAC and how you have the mini hooked into your system.

Thanks
Mikel

I currently have a set of MAC ipod cables that I was going to try but sounds like the DAC is the way to go.
