The way I see it, the Mac mini is where it's at. It can do toslink out, it has a simple remote, and can be expanded with standardized external hard drives that look nice (look like the mini). I don't have one so I won't say anything more other than that I wasn't raised (I'm 21) with receivers being part of my music experience and it looks like Denon is not nearly as good at digital audio as Mac or iPod products. Why spend $1400 on a brand I don't know how to evaluate? I know what an Apple product is worth.
