What???? Oh boy don't agree but to each their own. I used a Mac a while and thought it was pretty good until I tried some other options. The computer's background processes create a ton of noise and so do the power supplies which feed back into your electrical grid. Why does Taiko Extreme sell like hotcakes for $20,000 or the Innuous Statement for $15k? Because they sound better. To OP: Lumin U1 Mini. Love mine! Versatile and quiet which is way better than the Mac I used to use - its more settled and quiet. More of a high end source than a computer.
