Please let me know if your DAC is supported so I can add it to the list.

If you are not sure how your DAC would work with Colibri then you can download the free Colibri DAC/DSD Test app from the Mac AppStore and try it for yourself!Īs Colibri does not collect usage data, statistics or anything from the user, the compatibility below is based solely on user feedback. On the off-chance that You who is reading this can somehow help me reach out to them, please let me know via e-mail.Ĭonsider converting your SACD / DST file to a compatible one using the awesome, free audio converter for macOS called XLD – more info & download at the official website! Is my DAC supported? I tried getting in touch with both Sony and Philips and will try again in the future. This is because of licensing issues that I’ve tried to resolve, albeit without any success: all my requests have been rejected with the reason being there is no way to answer my request. SACD (.ISO files) and DST are not supportedĬolibri does not support DST encoded DSDfiles andĬolibri does not support SuperAudio CD (SACD) ISOreading! Try playing back one of the test DSD files available at the 2l.no Test Bench (archived via ) – if you’re in a hurry, click here to download a DSD64 test file (2L-125_stereo-2822k-1b_04.dsf.zip). Try both modes and see which works for your DAC / audio device – one should result in crystal clear audio whereas the other mode will produce noise (as it will be treated as ‘regular’ PCM). Your DAC / Audio device might support both, but typically they only support/recognise only one marker type. There are two main variations of DSD-over-PCM and they differ in the marker they use: This means that if your DAC supports native DSD256 then it might only play up to DSD128 in DoP/DoPA modes.įor reference, here’s a part of the XMOS AN00103 design document ( available from here): DSD native and DoP sample rates – from XMOS This is a technique that allows native DSD audio to be played under macOS / OS X, as currently native raw DSD playback is not possible through CoreAudio without other workarounds, such as a specialised audio driver.įor this to work, your DAC needs to support “high enough” PCM sampling rate capabilities so that “enough” of the DSD data could be sent. Once the receiving DAC / Audio device assembles the resulting DSD data from said DoP frames, it will be identical to the original DSD data.
DSD is a trademark of Sony and Philips What are DoP and DoPA?ĭoP stands for DSD-over-PCM, which is a data sending / encapsulation mode that uses PCM frames as a carrier for the native DSD audio data.
