astaroth Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hey guys, maybe someone can help me cause perhaps i'm dumb or i simply don't understand. I'm trying to play HRX files from the DVD that came with my Berkeley Alpha dac on my macmini. Here's the deal, copied the first wav track from the hrx dvd to itunes and it WILL play on itunes but amarra stays neutral and won't convert the sample rate and the alpha dac shows 44KHZ. The mac mini is connected to the alpha dac through optical built-in output. Amarra will play 16/44 files no problem but with those 24/176 wave files it wont take over like it should. Did i make a mistake or did i miss something!

The Computer Audiophile Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 "Did i make a mistake or did i miss something" In a way yes :~( The optical output can only go up to 24/96 at the moment in Mac OS X. I'm guessing Amarra looks at that and doesn't try to play the 24/176.4 file because it's not supported natively. Just a guess. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
