💬 Real-World Insights
Some users report a transient pop when streaming across changing resolutions (e.g. Amazon Music HD) when using optical output to certain DACs. This is due to sample‑rate switching in the DAC relay; the Pro Plus can help mitigate this with integrated resampling features.
Forum comparison: the Mini lacks Ethernet and room correction, unlike Pro/Pro Plus models—but still offers excellent performance for its compact size.
