Hi,I have a problem when I use playback  mps-3.  When I Select Options > Audio  >AUDIO DEVICE, the ONLY choose  is "core audio--more--core audio" ,no "asio"or other ...   AND in "output format---output  encoding", all i can do is  choose "NONE" . If i choose "dsd in dop" or " 2X DSD" , MAC JR 19 will silent....

How can I do ? 
Thanks,

Welcome.

Could you describe your DAC?  Only some hardware supports DoP.

I believe he has a Playback Designs  MPS-3 (CD Player & DAC) which has the following specs, USB for PCM up to 24 / 384kHz, and USB for DSD up to 6.1MHz.

Question for OP, on your Mac, if you run Audio MIDI Setup (located in Utilities folder), do you see the DAC?

If yes, you should when running MC19 and go into "Tools->Option->Output Mode Settings" you should see your DAC in the Device dropdown.

Also you do not use ASIO on a Mac, you leverage Core Audio.


p.s. and the J River setup screenshots on the Playback Designs site shows the PC version of J River....

Thank you...

Yes I  a Playback Designs  MPS-3 (CD Player & DAC) which has the following specs, USB for PCM up to 24 / 384kHz, and USB for DSD up to 6.1MHz. 
AND  I run Audio MIDI Setup (located in Utilities folder), can see the DAC---mps-3
BUT IN MAC JR 18 &19 ,I  can't use ASIO....

MPS-3  run  DSD perfectly  in  Windows 7 & 8

That is correct, ASIO is for Windows systems only, no ASIO on Mac.

Your settings should be something along the line of this for MC19 on your Mac:

Tools->Options->Audio

Core Audio - Core Audio

Device Settings - (Clicking this opens a dialog box that it titled "Core Audio Settings") - Device:"Your DAC Here" - click the drop down arrow in this dialog and your options should be (Default), Built in Output, and "Your DAC here", select your DAC.

Assuming you can get that to function we can than move to how you would configure it for DSD output.

Do you have both redbook and DSD files or just redbook?
