I'm setting up a Mac Mini as a music server and looking for suggestions on the best dac to partner with the mac for a smooth sound and big soundstage for around $500 to $1000.
I would avoid using the Toslink out on the Mac Mini. USB would be a better choice. You can get a DAC with USB support directly, or get a USB to spdif converter. That way you are not limited only to DACs with USB.
