Experience with Mach2 Music Server?

Thanks for the fan info, Darrell.

We all have different hearing acuity, and tolerance for ambient noise. I'm sensitive to it.

I simply cannot take a $1495 flyer (actually several hundred higher after add-ons) on a unit that may be unacceptably noisy due to its proximity to my listening position.

Tvad,

Hopefully other unbiased folks will give you feedback in this (and other areas).

Happy Listening,

Darrell

Tvad,

I have a hard time imagining that you would hear it. I am not sure what you would expect though, the mini is almost silent, probably quieter than a laptop. I can hear my external drive, but not my mini. Otherwise buy a mini, and if you like it, send it to them for their mods.

That's an option, 4est.

4est, do you also have a monitor and keyboard? I assume so, otherwise how can you configure your Mini (preferences changes, etc)?

I own only a MacBook Pro, and therefore the question about how to configure the Mini arises without also purchasing a monitor and keyboard. For example, to use a VNC app on my iPod Touch, I would need to turn on screen sharing on the Mini, and this would require a monitor and keyboard.

Perhaps, I can borrow these from a friend...
