Mini or Laptop


If I buy a computer just for music, should I buy a Mac Mini or Mac LapTop? I'm thinking of using an Off Ramp 4 between the USB port of the computer and the XLR digital input of my Cary 11a, assuming the 24/192 DACs in the Cary will do a fine job. Does that seem like the way to go?

Buy a used 2010 Mini. Run Snow Leopard. Tweak according to this website:

Use Pure Music software. Upgrade to 8 MB RAM and replace the internal hard drive with an SSD to run the operating system. You can do each of these upgrades incrementally. You won't be sorry.
