Mac Mini vs WDTV as a Music Server ??


Has anyone tried both the WDTV Live and the Mac Mini as a music server?

The WDTV is super cheap, simple, and easy to use without requiring
all the "computer admin" efforts of the Mac Mini route.

With a Mac Mini one would use an external USB DAC. With the
Western Digital TV live one would use Toslink to an external DAC.

Has anyone tried both of these out and could discuss the PROS/CONS of
the WDTV vs the Mac Mini? Would the sound quality be better with a
Mac Mini?

The Apple TV does 1080i which you probably won't be able to tell the difference from 1080p. I think one thing that I would keep on the lookout for would be the Boxee unit that is supposed to come out later this year.
