I have a trackpad and wireless keyboard (both Apple) to control it, although for music I generally leave the TV off and use the remote app, or if using Audirvana in classic mode, screenshare from my MacBook Pro or iMacвЂ¦.or iTeleport on the iPhone. I will be switching to USB to the DAC as soon as I get an asynchronous USB/SPDIF converter for coax, which is why I donвЂ™t load down the USB bus with peripherals.(My DACвЂ™s USB is 16/44.1) I donвЂ™t have cable, so I watch iTunes movies, NetFlix and Amazon Prime, but I mostly listen to my LossLess/HiRes music library that is stored on an external FireWire drive, with another external FireWire for SuperDuper and Time Machine. It goes HDMI for video to my Pioneer receiver and optical to my 24/96 DAC for music, which is then fed to my receiver, which is hooked to my plasma via HDMI. Some of this can be done with AppleвЂ™s AirPlay, the rest with third-party software solutions.вЂќ For that reason, we need to find other ways of getting audio and video to the television.

Also - seeing if Apple releases an upgraded Mac Mini later this year. Does the new Mac Mini use a lot less power than a 2021 iMac Guessing it would use a lot less than my 2012 iMac. Can be used as content for research and analysis. I use a 2012 27 iMac for my Plex server and it works well, but have considered getting a Mac Mini or 2021 iMac for similar use. Even if you donвЂ™t fancy getting handy with tools, plugging in a large external drive to house your media is sufficient, even over USB 2.0.вЂќДЄdvertisement: Apple Mac mini 2.5GHZ/4GB/500/4000 (MD387LL/A) only $587.98. Collected from the entire web and summarized to include only the most important parts of it. вЂњIt runs silent, draws little power and can be upgraded relatively easily if you are confident and competent with paint stripper (yes, seriously!) and a screwdriver. вЂњBut since Gene has been banging on about this for three years or more (Apple has its вЂhobby,вЂ™ and Gene has his), the Mac mini makes for a pretty good media centre in the meantime,вЂќ Winter writes. This is going to be the real-deal, Siri-enabled, iCloud-attached, iOS-controlled, large flat-panel to dominate your living room! Apparently.вЂќ вЂњDonвЂ™t mistake this for another Apple вЂhobbyвЂ™ вЂ“ itвЂ™s not going to be a set-top box. вЂњAccording to analysts вЂ“ Gene Munster, of Piper Jaffray, in particular вЂ“ Apple is soon to launch a revolutionary Apple TV device,вЂќ Johnny Winter writes for Mactuts+.
