First of all, you could use your MAC and build a Plex server with it. The i7 CPU is quite capable of transcoding quite a few types of 4K videos. But it surely will not cope with multiple 4K streams being transcoded.What you can do to improve things is getting an external GPU box with a decent graphics card.The best cards will be mentioned later on in this post.https://nascompares.com/answer/ultimate-4k-plex-server-with-top-20-graphics-cards-for-multiple-4k-video-transcoding-streams/#best_gpuHope this helps.
