I have Late 2012 Mac mini that I use solely as a music server. It's connected to my receiver via optical cable. I swapped out the hard drive for a SSD when I first bought it. No other apps other than iTunes are active.

Recently music has started to drop out for a second or two on many tracks, but not consistently. Since WiFi is not a factor here I'm thinking maybe the SSD needs replacing. I don't think it's the optical cable -- more likely the logic board if it's an output issue like that. Anyone have any better insight on what is going on here?
