Mac vs PC. Which is best for music with a Devialet

[completeluxury]

well i suppose your question begs another before a proper answer can start to be formed.

is your intention to run a basic desktop/tablet/laptop or do you intend to build a customised audio pc?

Personally, I have no intention of building a custom PC.  I'm guessing that the custom PC route is the optimum solution though, well, that and high end dedicated dac-less streamers for lots of cash.

i think my preference at this point will be to supply audio pcs instead of dac-less streamers.

i do home automation as well, and its easy to control a pc with event ghost. i prefer this because i can use a TV as a large monitor to display cover art etc of what the songs that im playing!
