I did this and discovered in the apple support document that you cannot use TB3 cables to do the DFU restore. I can guarantee this is correct and the DFU restore will fail with a cryptic error message.  I used a 10Gbps USB 3.1G2 cable and it worked fine.

That's not quite correct. You can't use older active Thunderbolt 3 cables. Passive ones, USB4, and Thunderbolt 4 are fine, as are USB 3.1 and 3.2 type C cables.

Hard to believe a review of an audio product has zero mention about the sound!  Like reviewing a car without mentioning how the car drives, or ....   You get the idea.   People spending $249 dont care how it sounds????  Personally I gave up using in ear earphones when exercising.  I have a Koss porta pro wireless without any ANC and it has just the right transparency for me to run safely and they never fall off!

Well known (on internet) that Apple wired USB keyboards dont work on the M4 mac mini whereas 3rd party keyboards work. Easily reproducible.

Just an FYI about the front USB ports. If they follow the design front USB ports on the M1 and M2 Max, they are only one channel of the PCIe 3 bus. So for the M1 and M2, they go up to 8Gbps, not 10 as apple advertises.  I hope that Apple has changed. the bus to PCIe 4, because one channel is 16Gbps.  However if the 2 ports share the same bandwidth, then it may be that each goes to 10 Gbps, but simultaneously, its only 8.  Would like someone to find out how the 2 front USB are implemented.

I just hope the front USB ports arent gimped like the Studios.  Those USB ports are limited to up to 8Gbps, despite Apple's description of "up to 10Gbps" because they use only 1 PCie lane instead of the usual 2.
