So I got my new 5K iMac today (I know, lazy option, overpriced, but I'm short on time and I knew the migration would be easy).
You know what, it sounds better than the Mac Mini.
I know I know that's complete nonsense. The RME ADI-Pro 2 has an asynchronous USB. Given the software is the same between the two, it really shouldn't matter.
But, honestly, they do sound different over monitor speakers.
Ah, but what about headphones, you say? Those sound the same.
So I'm going to chalk up to difference in the change in acoustics, reflections, etc (the monitors flank the monitor closely, within 12") that came with going from my 24" Dell monitor to the bigger, thicker 27" Retina monitor built into the all-in-one chassis of the iMac.
