Shield the SATA cables, power and data separately. Do not put the SOTM filter directly on the SSD, as it will for some reason not recognize the HD anymore. This will tie to the SATA connector in the MacMini’ MOBO SATA connection, after which the 22 pin SATA extension cable is plugged into the SOTM filter, and finally the SSD.

Buy a 12V DC cable connection for the Mac 2012 to your power supply which is available through places like Item Audio or Paul Hynes in the UK, Mojo-Audio or Mod Audio in the US. I bought a Keces DC-116 from Taiwan (check for the other threads for details)ħ. Buy a linear power supply to replace the Mac’s switching power supply (some estimated the ripple as 500mV) for 12V and 6 Amps.

Plus that adds another avenue for electrical (e.g. NAS Synology was a no-go with Amarra…too big a latency I guess. Firewire is fine too although Tbolt is faster, which I found out the hard way, is a necessity for Amarra. Buy a Western Digital Thunderbolt Duo drive or similar. I also bought Audivarna for comparison, which is much easier to use, does DSD (using DoP0) and is far less troublesome, but misses some spatial details that Amarra does have when listening.ģ. Don’t bother with fusion drives or an additional internal drive.Ģ. (Some folks mention that using 1 stick as opposed to 2 will again lower the current taxation on the motherboard, but I went with 2 sticks). Buy the latest Mac Mini with Solid State Harddrive (SSD) for the OS and at least 8GB memory.
