Need help setting to play DSD on Pre Mcintosh C2700

<< < (2/3) > >>

Awesome Donkey:
Make sure you have volume set to 100% in both MC and macOS, as that's a requirement of (most?) DACs when DSD bitstreaming. According to the screenshot above, the C2700 is connected to the Mac using USB, correct?

Hi Manfred,

Yes, Mac connected to C2700 by USB. I could not adjust volume in this case. I will try to switched to System Volume this evening

Manfred:
Could it be that you have in DSP Studio set: 352,8 should be downsampled to 176,4? In your case should be set to "no change".

Your other settings in mc seems to be ok. I also recommend to use SoX for resampling.

Hi Manfred,

I did set the output format "no change" at the first time. Pls see my setting in attached pic.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Do you have any new suggestion?

Tks
 

Awesome Donkey:
You don't need to change the DSD configuration settings like low-pass filtering unless you're converting DSD to PCM. If you're trying to bitstream DSD, you don't need to change anything there and can leave those settings alone. If you're converting DSD to PCM, you really should enable one of the low-pass filtering settings or else you risk damaging your speakers.

Did you change system volume in macOS to 100%? If that fails, you might ask McIntosh to see what they say about support DSD playback on macOS.
