Using Mac Mini as streamer plus music server

[PeppaPig]

I started streaming to my Devialet using a Mac Mini USB and then changed to Ethernet.
I found Ethernet to be my best choice.
Then I changed to an Aurender N100H USB connection to my Devialet, I liked the change a lot
more clarity in the mids.
Next I changed to an Auralic G2 steamer, I installed a 2GB hard drive, the Auralic G2 is a Roon End Point
and not a Roon Server, so I do not use Roon. The lighting app that comes with the Auralic works fine.
Now for sound, where as the Aurender cleared up the mids, the Auralic G2 cleans up the highs and adds more bass punch.
As you have a Devialet Oda, I would suggest that you look at one of the better streaming options, rather than a Mac Mini.

Thanks @BrianT  I like the design of G2 too, its in my list.

Would you say the G2 is so much better than mac mini in every aspect? like significantly better? Thanks!
