Amazed at the availability of a native version.
Thank You ! So happy I recently upgraded my JRiver license.

We were able to leverage our experience creating ARM builds for linux into this project.
Let us know what you find!

Just grabbed a copy of 27.0.44. Will give it a work out soon on my M1 mini.

it works well. Edit - I forgot to mention I tried with and without hardware acceleration on and my best results were with it on
I have the M1MM hooked up like a desktop right now because it didn't do anything other than 48KHz last time it was parked in the home theater rack. So I was testing today with actual AirPods on and the computer has a monitor, keyboard, mouse type stuff.
I watched plenty from my library today and it's working.
I have to thank you so much for the speed in which a new version came with support for the M1 Architecture. When I recently upgraded my JRiver account I was unsure it would still work on my unsupported 2010 MM. It did (I used the 2010 as a audios only server)
Edit 2 - Now listening to 24/96 Audio. Hooked up Draonfly black and it's registering correct sample rate. Stereo HR sounds great using Bose QC20. This makes me feel much better about life.

I suppose patience is in order but for now I put the Mac mini to use as my new personal computer and I"m about to put my 2010 Mac mini back in use as a music only server. I don't have another machine that outputs 96Hz 5.1.
(I guess my BDP would but I would have to turn on the projector to navigate Blu Ray menus that are all different then turn it off again to avoid the fan noise.)
I'm loving the Mac mini but until I can get Hi Res audio from it, it's just going to be my daily computer. I was very wrong about it's capabilities for now.

Hi Brian,
i had (have) a similar problem with my basic M1-Mac Mini.
In my case Audio Hijack would not record other than 48kHz, in spite Audio-MIDI-Setup was at the correct rate.
Some experiments later i found out that disconnecting my HDMI monitor did the trick. As soon as HDMI in any form is connected to the Mini, only 48kHz is possible. Even a HDMI dongle (for headless usage of the Mini) makes it impossible to record at rates other than 48kHz.
I could imagine you have a HDMI monitor connected, too?
Fred.
bhampster:
yes I was using HDMI.
Seems I need a dongle of some sort ... Very Apple
I wouldn't know a thunderbolt cable if I was hit by one.
As I said above 96KHz is no problem with my DragonFly even with an HDMI monitor hooked up.
This makes me wonder if I could get 96KHz out of HDMI if I had no monitor connected downstream. I may test that if I can setup a different monitor or use my iPad with sidecar.
