New M1 Mac Mini as HTPC?
bhampster:
Today I'm going to rebuild my 2010 (intel obviously) Mac mini music server.
The lack of surround sound 24/96 playback from my 2020 M1 Mac mini has encouraged me to keep my 2010 MM as a dedicated music server using JRiver of course.
I have a particular need for a music only server that can operate without a display (aside from it's remote) because I use a projector for my display and it makes fan noises when in use.
I love the high res surround mixes I have from Pink Floyd and trying to access them from blu rays directly without turning on the PJ for navigation is for the birds. Also, my Panasonic UB420 claims to support HR Audio but it is very un-usable for that.

I'm hoping Apple gets enough feedback on the audio issues on the M1 Mini that they decide to fix some of them (assuming the chipset can handle it).

Have to say, all went well putting my old system back into play.
I'm happy though to have easy access to my high res audio again! !!
All is well that ends well.

They did correct one of the major shortcomings to the new Mac Mini.
One thing I had hoped it would do is stream iTunes 4K content and now it does so they corrected one of the slip ups.

As a comparison, my late 2020 iMac (with Intel) is only 4560
