Dude the geek in me would love a Mac Pro. Or even the Core I9 I Mac
even. As the IMac pro goes though I would love the 18 Core 1. I'm such a
geek. Dain how is the audio of a Mac Mini? you keep saying that if 1 is
into audio to get 1. How is the stereo imaging how crisp is it? How's
the bass?

You know of course that you can purchase an iMac Pro? - That’s an iMac machine
with nearly the same specs as the Mac Pro itself -.
The new model Mac mini also if you like is a Mac Pro in Mini form, in the same
case as the late 2012 Mac mini but one hell of a lot more powerful.
I did think about getting a new Mac mini model but the cost of upgrading
accessories made the idea impractical.
Unlike the 2012 Mac mini models the newer Mac mini does not have USB ports
rather it has USB-C/Thunderbolt ports.
Nothing wrong with that but I’d have to change all my USB, Thunderbolt 2 and
Firewire hardware to match the new standard.
The great thing if you want to think of it like this is that the Mac mini 2012
machines can now be purchased at bargain basement prices.
Not long ago a top of the line late 2012 Mac mini unit would be worth around
$2000 or even more.
Now you can buy these things for $500 or so and - as I have done many times - I
would recommend anyone who is seriously into audio to get hold of one of these
machines.

Emne: Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
I can’t have one of those Mac Pro machines either but boy! Do I wish I could
<smile>.
In the meantime I’m perfectly happy with my 4 Mac mini machines, 2 iMac
machines and my MacBook Pro.
1 Mac mini machine runs the Plex Media Server here, another manages the Twonky
Media server and is used to record from the Cable box, another manages Radio
Archives and the forth is a server machine.
All these Mac mini machines are late 2012 models and still going strong.

Hi!
Well, one can have different thoughts.
I guess this will just be more Ios like on the mac as they split things.
I was sadly missing the event but i will listen to it later.
THe new Mac Pro which of course is out of my money range was interesting even
though its nothing i will spend money on.

I’m sure many of you on list were following along and what an event it was,
certainly far better than the other session Apple held a few months back.
The highlight for me was the announcement that iTunes is to be split into 3
different Apps and not before time too I hear you all say.
Apple Music App will handle all your music. Apple Podcasts your podcasts etc
and Apple TV for the rest, sound familiar? It certainly does so if you’re using
an IOS device.
