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!

I got both and like them .
The Sonos is reliable sounds very good and is easy to use.I got the Sonos CR-200 controller,and I sit down with it and choose what to play ,it responds in an instant.Of cource when you add new music you need to update the library which takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the size.
Sometimes for reasons unknown to me some albums appear in the Sonos as jiberish and not proper names so I have to rename the files .Also with large files it gets harder to scroll down and find what your are looking for.
So I just set up a mac mini ans it sounds real good.
USB out to M2Tech Hiface out to my DAC with JRiver music player.
Now I can see my entire library on the big screen and find songs easier.
But I love both systems.
