Hi.
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!
I initially looked at the mini to be honest and went to check out the Innuos website.... That's when I saw the Zen and checked its specs with all the fancy pictures of the internals etc etc and did what a lot of people do.... Buy the more expensive model...
If you say, as a current owner, that it is essentially the same but in a small form factor then I will definitely put the mini back on my radar!
The reason I'm looking at the RME is for its amazing ability for EQ adjustments. I'm really intrigued by it and it would be a fantastic way to learn about room acoustics and how best to fine tune sound to suit me and my room.
I would normally not EQ anything where music is concerned but I tend to get boundary gain because I can't have my speakers halfway out into the room so being able to tone down the low end a touch is really appealing to me.
The way DIRAC handles room EQ for my movie watching is amazing so being able to do something manually for music sounds great to me!
If the mini does have analogue out, that would also be a great way to A-B the changes I've made using the RME as that will be on a different analogue input obviously.
