Good question - I was careful in setting up the A/B tests. All same settings on both iTunes and Spotify, same volume, same power supply, etc.
I tested using both direct USB and wifi optical when using my dac. I then also tested using headphones connected to Macbook and Mini directly via 3.5mm jack. I chose two small pieces of music that I've been using for many years. The difference was noticeable.
I'm planning to take my IEM's to an Apple store to see if I can test using display models.
