@PeppaPig -Have you ever tried AIR? If you would like some idea as to what a Mutec MC3+USB sounds like via AES/EBU, why not try your Mac Mini via Devialet AIR? The Mutec is arguably a fraction better, but with the Pro models I have found that feeding the Devialet via a Mutec MC3+USB and feeding a Devialet via AIR do actually sound very similar. AIR could very well sound quite a bit better than USB direct from a Mac Mini, this will be system dependent, but it is something you can try for little or no cost.
