Hi all.
I'm looking at picking up a Mac Mini again as a semi-HTPC to host MC and some other home-automation stuff. It would have to do the following:
- Play stereo and multi-channel audio via HDMI into my Marantz receiver and 7.1 speakers. Source files mostly flac with some DSF
- Serve / stream / resample audio to JRemote on iPhones and MC on other Macs and PCs
- Play movies via HDMI into Marantz receiver and Sony 4K TV
What's the minimum processor/RAM to do this well? The media files are on a Drobo 5N NAS on my LAN. Does MC need or can use multiple cores and/or GPUs? The new Mac Mini starts with these specs:
3.6GHz quad-core 8th-generation Intel Core i3 processor
8GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
Intel UHD Graphics 630
128GB PCIe-based SSD
Thanks!
