New M1 Mac Mini as HTPC?
bob:
Just in general, it's easier for a risc machine to emulate a cisc machine then visa-versa so I'd expect Rosetta2 to be more efficient than Rosetta was.

Hi,
I have the 8GB version of the M1 Mac Mini and had a few moments to test it yesterday.
I should have a lot more tinker time today but my initial discovery is it isn’t simply plug and play.
As soon as I booted it, I loaded JRiver 27 Mac current beta and it asked to to download Rosetta to translate the app, it opened fine and looked normal,
My first frustration came with the MIDI setup as only 48Khz options were available. There were 176Khz options grayed out and nothing about 96Khz to be found.I’m not sure if this is an issue with my equipment. Will have to look more into it.
If I can’t play my 24/96 audio then that’s huge for me as that’s the only thing I used my Previous Mac Mini to do. So far I’ve only found support for high res from optical which is not useful to me because it’s limited to stereo.

Can you share what your audio path is?
Fred1:
My first impression about MC on my new M1 Mini with 8GB and 250GB SSD:
Installs without problems and runs fine as i can see it in the short time i own the Mini.
But analyzing audio is very disappointing and as lame as before with only 3 tasks at a time.
Edit:
I made a mistake. I analyzed the files over WiFi.
After copying these files to the internal SSD, i analyzed again with 16 concurrent tasks in an amazing speed.
The machine is indeed as fast as reported in the tests.
And this is the smallest possible Mac Mini in Rosetta2 emulation mode.

The audio path is
