Is it possible to connect a Mac Mini to the Puccini (to utilise the Puccini DAC) for playing back music files from a hard disc?
Yes. It is possible in two ways; Using a Toslink to SPDIF adapter you can connect the Mac mini from the single mini plug (3.5mm) optical / audio output connection direct to the additional digital inputs on the rear of Puccini. Alternatively, using the patent pending (GB0817141.5) Puccini U-Clock, you can connect the Mac mini to Puccini Player using USB.
