How do I hook up my 2009 Mac Mini to my PWD mk1 bridge to use the Mini as a music server?
The PWD bridge (the expansion port in the pic below) has an ethernet connection and a USB connection, but the USB connection is the thin USB input connector that I see on computers, while the 'digital input' that's on the PWD directly (not the bridge) is the USB accessory square looking input.
IIRC, on the PWD Mk1, the networked Bridge input may sound better since it has the Digital Lens to reduce jitter. So I'd prefer to plug the Mac Mini into the Bridge. But i'm not sure if I need to do anything special with the Mac Mini to do that? It seems to me that I can't just plug it in to the Bridge and have it work as a server, and be DLNA compatible. And if I plug it into the regular digital input, it'll probably work ok, but then wouldn't have the Digital Lens, plus it wouldn't be DLNA compatible, and would be harder to remote control?
