Which should I do between Mac Mini or Auralic Mini


Need some suggestions please.  Will be doing wi-fi streaming musics due to no ethernet cable in this room.  Main concern is sound quality and other pros and cons.  Will mostly do Spotify and Tidal.

Regards,
Eddy

WiFi makes anything on the computer side unimportant.  Sound will be affected by the jitter on the receiving end.  Use low jitter receiver or/and jitter rejecting DAC (or any DAC + Reclocker).  Use power supply filtering/conditioner for receiver and DAC to minimize noise induced jitter.

Jitter in digital stream will convert to noise affecting clarity, timbre, imaging etc.
