I have recently "downsized" my system substantially, including selling off my [excellent] vinyl front-end and moving to a Mac Mini->Moore DAC-41 as my primary source.

All & all I'm quite thrilled as the sound is excellent - the best digital I've heard, better even than my previous digital reference, the Marantz SA-7.

My Mini has a hybrid SSD, 8 Gb of RAM, Pure Music, and all the software tweaks.

While I'm committed to staying quite practical (my new philosophy for the hobby is *excellent sound at a pricepoint* instead of *best sound possible*), I do think addressing the Mac's noise switching PS is a good idea.

I'm thinking of a couple possibilities:

- And aftermarket power cord + a passive conditioner - such as the BPT Power Center.

- A linear power supply such as the Core Tech offering.  (Batteries are not totally out of the question but probably something I don't want to mess with.)

I thought it would be good perhaps to have a thread dedicated to the general topic of Mac Mini conditioning/power supplies.  Can people who have experience in this area share experiences?

No offense but I would post this in the Apple Core circle, rather than here.  You'll get way more hits about Mac mini experiences.

Didn't know it existed - thanks.

Moderators, feel free to move.

(I'm kinda surprised there are both "discless" and Mac circles since there's lots of overlap there but whatever.)

Mac and PC don't get along.

I posted the same thread in Apple so this thread could be deleted..
