Is anyone using a 2018 Mac Mini to connect to their Devialet via USB? Or thinking of doing so?
There is a serious problem in this scenario and I currently would not advise anyone to buy a 2018 Mini for use with their Devialet.
Basically, Apple's implementation of USB2 is currently flawed and audio glitches occur.
It is currently not completely clear whether this is a hardware or software problem but in my opinion it is software.
There is a hardware workaround involving an (expensive) Thunderbolt 3 HUB.
I will post more information if anyone is interested.

mac mini (2018, Latest MacOS, plain old iTunes) > no name USB cable or AIR3 over ethernet -> Devialet 200 -> Kimber 8TC -> KEF LS50
