In the past, you have stated a preference for Macmini with Amarra for computer based music.
According to Apple, the Macmini Server and the standard Macmini have exactly the same audio components. Looking only at the specifications below – would there be any reason to prefer one model over the other for sound quality/dedicated music, especially internet sourced music, use? The cost to replace the server software with the standard software I think makes the two units price equivalent. The only difference I see is the 2.0 Quad-Core vs the 2.7 Dual-Core.
Mac mini Server - $1599.00
• 2.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
• 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
• 256GB Solid State Drive
Mac mini - $1699.00
• 2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7
• 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
• 256GB Solid State Drive
