when you give the mac mini the edge is as a dac/headphone amp or as a stand alone dac out to the singlepower amp you have??
I think the headphone section in the mini was probably better but I like th sound of the dac in the duet.
While the mini can read 24/192 does it upsample? I thought the variable sample rates and word length was because people record with different settings?
