MINI ADVENTURE
 The Mac Mini computer is an agreeable little companion; it's almost silent and takes up little space. And that has made it popular as a music source. Factor in the iTunes connection and you have a great way to buy music and play it. But computers are full of interference, produce jitter and can't play top quality digital, or so it's said — but rarely proven, so we tested one.
Here's a look at the latest Mini from Macintosh, released this summer running the Lion OS-X operating system, version 10.7.2 in our case, put under the spotlight of our Rohde & Schwarz digital signal analyser.

CAMBRIDGE AUDIO iD100 iPOD DOCK
Here's a hi-fi dock for your Apple iPod, iPad or iPhone. It streams pure digital audio through to the hi-fi for top sound quality, not the analogue signal. Quality
