New M1 Mac Mini as HTPC?

<< < (10/22) > >>

Fred1:
No problems with bitrates with my basic M1-Mac mini using the USB-output connected to my Devialet 220 amp.

The M1-Mac is very fast (even with Rosetta2) and cool.

bhampster:
I figured the 48Hz problem I was having was linked to using the HDMI output.

Do USB DACs support 5.1? The only USB DAC I have is a Dragonfly which is stereo, but I don't know much about USB DACs.

I guess when a lot of people think High Res Audio they think Stereo and that's fine but I can get stereo 24/96 from most things including my phone and my AVR USB and the network and so on. The reason my thoughts of 24/96 are linked to 5.1 is ALL of my high res stuff is Pink Floyd content and mostly sourced from Blu Rays.

There's also Display port ... something else I know nothing about but it could solve my current problem.

Patience is in order.

Apple hardly ever discounts their computers, yet Costco has the mini at 30% off.

DisplayPort is only video.
