If you are using your Mac as a dedicated music server, and are desperate to have Direct Mode, why even run the more recent OSX versions? All they do is consume more system resources, and they don't sound any better than previous versions. I stuck with Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8) until Damien dropped support for it. I've since "updated" to Mavericks (OSX 10.9.5), which works just fine.

 

If you need to run Sierra or El Capitan for ancillary computer use, why not install a separate partition with the older OSX for music playback, and have only your music apps on there? Personally, I wouldn't be hacking my OSX just to use Direct Mode, which doesn't sound appreciably different than Core Audio, anyway.

 

Some people here are always trying to squeeze that nebulous 1% increase in SQ out of their rig, only to eventually realize that it's not worth the time and/or money.
