Hi all,
I am trying to understand how to best hook up my BDA-1 to my iMac for hi-res music. Couple of things are a little unclear to me and I thought maybe someone on the board can help.
When I connect my iMac to my BDA-1 vis my M2Tech, I set the output device (Mac preferences) to M2Face 196k. If I play a 44k sample rate file, the BDA-1 shows it as 44K sample rate (as you would expect). If I play a hi-rez file (say 96K), the BDA-1 lights indicate 96K, again, as you would expect.
However if I directly connect my iMac to my BDA-1 using USB cable (i.e., eliminate the M2Tech adaptor), and them play a hi-rez file BDA-1 does not sample it at its native rate, i.e., it stays at 44K?
This happens directly with iTunes or if I invoke my Pure Music front end--same results. In fact, when I use Pure Music, the Pure Music panel will even say that the 96K is being down-sampled to 44K when I use USB connection?
Any clarification or configuration help is greatly appreciated.
