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.

Yes, as I said, Toslink output is available on the new Mini, as it has been on all of the Minis.
I'd use USB output with an asynchronous USB based DAC (if you can afford one).
Wow, thanks for the responses. I guess I was mistaken about the Toslink. I want to do 24/96 without the need for an adaptor. Thinking about a YBA Design wd 202 DAC for among other things, the headphone output. Have been running various YBA products over the past 10 years and have always been impressed by their many unique design features.
I just bought a Mac mini and so far I love it,I am typing on it now.

anyone have thoughts on the sound quality of toslink over usb. i am buying a used maci mini as a dedicated server. found an old msb link dac in my basements 24/96 pre usb of coarse but it does have toslink which I always was not the connection of choice. I'd run it into my Mcintosh mx132.
Have been buying hdtrack hi-rez files.
