How to play DSD on Mac?Ī fresh install of macOS currently does not have a convenient way of playing such files, as DSD/DSF files need special decoding hardware or a software signal processing solution to render the audio stream. OSX (now macOS) does not offer built-in DSD playback possibility, although there are various audio players to choose from. To some extent, yes – mainly among audiophiles, so to speak.
However, many say that most records have a more natural, warmer tone when played from a DSD source. It is a completely different approach to capture and store high-definition audio than the other, more widely used consumer formats.It is a bit harder to compare these formats, not to mention the real difference is only heard by using really high-end audio gear. If your DAC works and it isn’t on the list, please contact me so I can add it for others to find as well, thank you! What’s so good about DSD? Download it from the Mac AppStore link above to see whether your DAC works with Colibri’s audio core. Results could vary even if you have the same hardware! A different circuit board revision or firmware version is enough to make the difference – this is why Colibri DAC/DSD Test was born and why it is free.
This is because of licensing issues that I’ve tried to resolve, albeit without any success: all my requests have been rejected with the reason being there is no way to answer my request. DSD is a trademark of Sony and Philips SACD and DST are not supportedĬolibri does not support DST encoded DSDfiles andĬolibri does not support SuperAudio CD (SACD) ISOreading!
