That said, there are a lot of people still on 10.6.8 because they can't run anything newer or they don't like what they see in 10.7. Anyway, some of the 10.6 problems are probably cpu related since I've got it working on one 10.6.8 machine but it crashes on another. I'm thinking it's got something to do with sse4.1 which was only available in Mac Mini's from about 2008 IIRC. I'm seeing a crash (I think) in cximage.
On the machine that it does run on, it plays fine but the windowing is goofy.

That said, it is possible to know what is the JR policy about the minimum supported hardware / software?

Would you say that for all players in general, I assume. You have not yet compared Mac mc18 yet!

We don't know yet. If we can support older OSs without a lot of trouble, we will do so.

Well that would depend on what kind of DAC you have. If your DAC doesn't support integer playback than it is pointless to discuss. If it does, and you played it before and not now and you still think it is better without it then fine, whatever works for you. My Ayre QB9 sounds way better in integer mode than in any other. And you can test that only with players that also support integer mode such as Decibel or Audirvana, I think iTunes doesn't belong here (not sure since I do not use it).
Thanks Cmagic, your procedure worked for me too. I am listening now.

You're welcome Miki, MC Mac is still rougher on Snow Leopard but at least it plays!...
