That power button on the bottom is pretty lame when it's sitting in a tight rack.

I'm looking at one for HQPlayer purposes. And just a general update for my computing needs.

Best deal on a Mac for the base level $599 price. It’s a lot of computer for the money.

Regarding hqp I really wish he hadn’t made the gpu offload only work on nvidia cards, the the Mac mini would be a lot more viable for dsd over sampling

@SoupRKnowva I think AMD works, too, at least there are settings for it. (Never actually tried or read anything about that.) I guess the problem is that you need a library like CUDA if you don’t want to write assembler code for GPUs. Not sure if something like that exists for Mac?

as far as ive heard its CUDA only and the website only lists CUDA, so if it supports AMD now that would be neat

At least in HQPlayer Embedded, there’s a setting in hqplayerd.xml where you can set rocm="1" in the engine tag just like you can for cuda. Not sure if this still works with current AMD GPUs or only works on Linux with the Embedded version or there’s no official support or whatever else may be the reason for not officially publishing that, but at least there’s something there.
