Audiogate For Mac
The Best Home and Interior Design Software for Mac of 2018 We have been reviewing Mac home design for eight years. Recently, we devoted over 160 hours to testing and considered 12 different programs.
Mac OS X software options for playing DSD64 & DSD128.dff files. Discussion in 'Audio Hardware' started by SamS, Jan 19, 2014. Korg Audiogate. The MR-2 is an unsurpassed capture device; your audio 'butterfly net.' With it, you'll never miss a musical moment, whether it's a band rehearsal, performance, concert, your own personal practice – or any event, for that matter. Format KORG's acclaimed MR series of high-resolution recorders, in combination with the 'AudioGate' file format conversion application included with these recorders, gives you a new 'MR style' solution with comprehensive support for the entire process of recording to mastering.
There's also at $80. For some reason, I thought the JRiver Media Center trial was 30 days. Media Center is more like an iTunes experience, while Audirvana has more 'under the hood' and less playlist functionality. Pure Music tries to be both, with upsampling to 384kHz if you're into that sort of thing. FYI: OS X.9 'Mavericks' restores 'integer mode' removed from Lion and Mountain Lion.
This doesn't necessarily help with DSD files, but it will enable helper apps like ($10) to deliver bit accurate streams to your USB DAC straight out of iTunes. I don't think we've heard much from people here using a BDP-105D as a USB DAC. Please do let us know what you think! All of these Mac programs that stream to USB DACs (whether they support resampling DSD or PCM and/or streaming DSD directly to DSD-capable DACs) literally get in between the files in the library and the DAC. Using both BitPerfect and Audirvana as examples, each of these need to be configured to locate the file library.
So when using iTunes, the helper app 'intercepts' play requests, finds the file(s), then decodes & streams to the DAC (changing sample rate and bit depth as required). ITunes will not change sample rates / bit depths to match the files, and that creates the market for these third-party apps.

Sam, we did a big DSD event at the local club today. Audirvana+ was the easiest program to get up and running but it was not easy at all but it sounds terrific. Uvi augmented piano.
