New Mac Mini Outputs


I was thinking about a Mac Mini as a first step into PC Audio (24/96), but I see the new one has only USB, HDMI, and Firewire. Would it be better to buy a used Mini with S/PDIF, or not, and if so what model? Thanks.

The Mac Mini never included S/PDIF. You need to use optical (Toslink) or Firewire or USB. If you have an existing S/PDIF DAC that you want to keep, you can convert USB to S/PDIF with a product like the M2tech Hiface.
Ah, my mistake. I though Mcondo was thinking of a traditional RCA S/PDIF output. Is Toslink not included on the new Mini?
Don't forget wireless. I use Mac Mini - Airport Express - Toslink - Benchmark DAC1.
Yes, as I said, Toslink output is available on the new Mini, as it has been on all of the Minis.
