Mac Mini M1 Help

[anon80830635]

I do not think the same document applies if it is an old document. I am into software but not much into OS kernel and memory management. As a user, I noticed Mac OS ventura even uses more RAM or to be accurate utilizes more RAM. I noticed native apps run more efficient and faster and the memory shoots up depending on the physical memory available. A Lot of cashing in RAM takes place which improves performance.

I bought first a mac mini with 8GB for casual use and after a week I returned it for the 16GB. first time I notice more RAM is critical in the ARM M architecture. All as experienced user.

Windows behaves very different.

if you have some extra cash go with M1 or M2, much faster.

To give you a small perspective for fun. I once built a Windows PC for a total of $7K without the monitor to use for HQPlayer upsampling. (2 NVIDEA, 1080ti at that time, I9 18 cores with 32GB RAM …).

The M! MAC mini today for $600 is faster than the Windows PC not to sat much more reliable. Today I run Windows when I have to.

That has been the same way for a long time. Same behavior I have observed from my 2003 PowerBook Pro running on PowerPC G4 processor to the current 2018 MacBook Pro (intel based). I do not own the MacBook M1 for various reasons, the MacOS memory model may be improved but I cannot image that it is different radically.

You can have two cores. Switch back and forth at will.

Of course now that my mini has been delivered, my Nucleus has been up and running for over 24 hours without interruption.

If it would be a movie you would smash them one into another and create a new core beast

Just on a curiosity, why replace the nucleus?

[Gary_Wasserman]

Thank you for the OpenCore reminder. I had forgotten all about that. I guess at some point I won’t have anything to lose. Might as well give it a try.

[anon80830635]

Enjoy. Yes with this setup it is fine. Try HQP and you will memory will not be sufficient to run DSD 128 or higher properly.
Also, I guess you should upgrade your Roon Server to run the native ARM version. Roon 2 should show Apple not Intel.

Not until 2.0 runs without requiring always on internet. I beta tested 2.0 so I understand but am not at all pleased with Roon’s new direction.

Ive been using the M1 Mac mini for over a year now with Roon Core. No issues at all.

Installing exFS WILL make it be like it was supported out of the box.

I know, like I wrote several times myself, but that’s not what was said in the post that I replied to

[Fernando_Pereira]

Not irrelevant because SMB’s pathname constraints, those of MacOS, and those of Linux are not identical, so exotic pathnames may lead to unexpected behavior with Roon.
