• Digital source upgrades (not inc DAC) are some seriously bad science and seemingly misunderstand the USB standard. Unless you’ve got a problem with RF noise on the earth connection, there aren’t audio upgrades to be had. Aesthetics/usability/etc are another matter!

  • most music is produced on a Mac

    Define "produced". And probably "most" and "music" while you're at it 🙂

  • I mean, most music is produced on a Mac mini / iMac, so... 🤷🏽

    Unsure where you have got this info from.

    Ableton on a MacBook Pro is good for a DIY mobile setup. But most studios I know use Pro Tools on Windows workstations racked in another room along with a tonne of storage and a shedload of audio interfaces.

    And most music does come from studios.

    Why not use a Mac mini or laptop? Word clocks and low noise circuitry, speed and latency, software and driver range (not just the DAW but all the things that drive the audio interfaces).

    You can even look up deadmaus on twitch and see him work, there's no Mac mini in sight, or a Mac... It's racks of Windows machines.

    Maybe you mean something else by produced, but most music you hear is produced on racks of Windows machines.
