Unable to play Hi-res music w/MC22 on MacBook Pro

<< < (2/2)

Awesome Donkey:
What kind of files are they?

ralphbrau:
The files (all purchased from HDTracks) have various sample rates and 24 bit depth. They are .aif format.

Awesome Donkey:
As a test, have you tried converting a file to FLAC, Apple Lossless, Wave or Monkey's Audio and seeing if it'll play then? If it does play, it might be an issue with AIFF playback.

ralphbrau:
I converted a file to .m4a. It plays on iTunes but gets an error from MC22.

Awesome Donkey:
One thing you might try is going to the Applications folder > Utilities folder and opening the Audio MIDI Setup app. From there change the Output of your DAC to the highest bit depth/sample rate available. Some DACs can't playback hi-res audio on Mac sometimes, unless setting this to the highest output settings in Audio MIDI Setup.

Example screenshot (in my case the highest would be 32-bit 2 channel 192 kHz): http://i.imgur.com/ic2YtGP.png

After that, then try again. :)
