Save yourself and just buy an iMAC and the USB DAC. It will save space if all you will use this unit for is music and it comes with the monitor, remote, mouse, keyboard.
Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac
I have read many post on this issue, but am still utterly confused.
Current system Mini Mac will be hooked up to:
YBA stereo integrated amp
Oppo universal player
Madisound home made speaker system
1.) What exactly do I need to buy and how do I hook up a Mini Mac digital playback system to my current system for CD playback?
2.) How do I get CD's into it?
3.) Do I need external DAC and transport?
4.) How much memory in hard drive is needed?
5.) Can it operate with a remote?
6.) Will this system act like a music server?
7.) Is the sound quality as good as high end CD player?
Finally:
8.) I don't know what questions to ask, as I'm a real dummy on this issue, so please tell me what to buy (on a budget) and what to do?
