Sonos or Mac Mini?

Hello all,

Fed up with the controller Kinsky, I've decided to sell my Linn Majik DSI. I want a stable and reactive control software. Sonos with reclocker and good DAC seems the way to go but is is possible to get better sound from a Mac Mini without losing on the ergonomics? I don't want to wait everytime I want to change the music that the system scans the network or whatever. Is is also possible to embed services like Spotify as with Sonos?
Thank you for your inputs!

If the UI matters to you more than sound quality then Sonos is certainly a viable alternative.

I own a Sonos, and am saving up for a Linn DSI. I use the Phonos UI to control it. The sound is okay but nothing special. Sound-wise, the Linn DSIs are superior, but the UIs are clunky.

Before you bail on the Linn, have you tried an alternative to Kinsky? I've heard Twonky and it is a pretty good alternative.
