Rather than use an airport into my main system I'd like to be able to plug a discreet mac mini into my dac and have it configured as a dedicated music server to control with remote software with airports to other rooms rather than streaming wirelessly from the PC in the study. For some reason I've convinced myself (for today at least) that there is a difference between wired and wireless SQ after playing around with my mates macbook straight into my dac earlier this week.
But I don't want a screen. So one would put a disc in and the mac would instantly rip to itunes and the only control would be with the iphone. That way I wouldn't have to have a screen atop my hifi kit. The mac mini wouldn't be used for anything else.
Any software out there that could do this? some kind of scripting maybe?
Obviously I wouldn't mind having a screen plugged in initially to set it all up.
