Silicon Mini and HDMI sample rates
JHR:
Just so I understand the thread, this is about HDMI audio rates and new M1-based Mac Minis, correct?
If I'm using a USB DAC, or an external USB DAC, then the M1 Minis would still work as an high-definition audio server with JRiver, correct? Thanks for the clarification!

Correct. It's only the M1 Mini HDMI interface that's rate locked to 48k

I am new here so please forgive me if my question was either answered or the fact it is a bit off subject.
Was looking for an alternative to Mac's miserable music app and recalled JR from years long ago. After seeing how there are challenges with the M1 Mac (even after its latest updates), I need to ask -
Can JR be used with a usb external DAC? I have no desire to do surround just 2.0 or 2.1 (most likely 2.0) for speakers and headphones. If yes, will that bypass this problem of bitrate issues?
From what I see, I am glad I remembered to look up JRiver software. The only other software that was of like was much to my chagrin discontinued long ago (Clementine).

Yes it will work fine. There are no issues with USB devices, just that HDMI is limited to 48k on the M1 Mini.

Just installed BigSur 11.3 No changes - still only 48 KHz through HDMI.
