Wine external DAC issues

Whenever I play sound through WINE on my external DAC, the sound sounds all crackly. Problem does not occur when I play the sound on my built-in audio, but there are reasons why I don't want to use that.
My DAC is an American Audio Audio Genie Pro.

Try different nrpacks values or set a higher buffer/period size for the device in alsa configuration.

ITunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

iTunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted on my iMac, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

I have the same issue. If I open up the Equalizer and select any setting (including the one that is already checkmarked), the sound corrects itself. However, it goes right back to crappy when a new song comes on.

Problem with Itunes and Remote when external DAC is used

I am using IPad Remote app to connect to itunes library paired a windows vista Toshiba Laptop.
When the pc speaks are used or the iPad for audio reproduction, everything works OK, and iPad Remote can connect to iTunes Library.
Unfortunately when the optical audio output of the PC is used for audio reproduction through an external DAC, amplifier and speakers, iPad cannot connect to iTunes library!
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps Tom could assist.

Using an external DAC with my iTunes library

There are a lot of links on the web to people incorporating external DAC's in using their iTunes music library as a jutebox for your home stereo and I wanted to share my experience as I think it may help some of you in the decision making process. I spent several months researching different products and decided on April Music's Stello DA 100. The sound quality was a big part but so was the fact that they have two digital optical inputs, one coax input, and a USB input. Making it substantially more versatile than more expensive options without comprimising the sound quality. They have a U.S. based distributor/hub in Chicago which has provided me excellent service (help in using iTunes as my digital jutebox player). If you are currently connecting your computer or ipod directly to your stereo, you really should consider placing a DAC in the loop. It will make a big difference.

I noticed this is getting views so, I'm posting answers to myself if case it's helping someone else.
I turned the external drive off and started iTunes on purpose to see what it's reaction would be.
It does redirect itself to the original location, remake the iTunes Music folder on my internal drive, and start to download Podcasts.
Is it possible to stop this? Can the path to the iTunes Music folder be locked? I'd actually rather iTunes crashed than reset itself this way.

Does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? (is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC?

does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? If so, is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC then to stereo?

My suggestion to work around this problem would be to hook up an Airport Express. The AE also has an optical out the same as your iMac. As long as your wireless connection is robust enough you should be able to stream from your iMac to your AE and then have the optical cable connect between your AE and your DAC, which then connects to your Integrated Amp/Receiver/Pre-Amp (depending on your system configuration).
I assume because you are using the optical out and connecting to an external DAC that you are looking for a high level of Audio quality ?

Simultaneous output to multiple external DACs

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has figured out how a single MacBook Pro can output audio simultaneously to 2 or more USB external DACs so that you deliver high quality source music signal to multiple zones of a building ?
Can this be done through wi-fi ?
I've been trawling through numerous blogs and posts and can't find anything other than accounts of unsuccessful tries with the Aggregate Sound Device.
Thanks.

I'm not sure, but maybe you should get rid of the redundancy that you have in your CREATE TABLE statement.
This line covers all fields:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
{code}
So I would change the field list to:
{code}
DATE1 CHAR (10),
DATE2 CHAR (10),
POL_PRTY CHAR (30),
P_NAME CHAR (30),
P_ROLE CHAR (5)
{code}
It worked on my installation.

REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
Note that I had to interchange the two lines:
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
Just to get the access parameters to parse correctly.
I added two empty lines, one in the middle and one at the end - both were rejected.

Using an external DAC with Apple TV

How is the sound quality using the Apple TV connected to a home audio system? Is anyone using an external DAC with the Apple TV to up-sample the audio?

The onboard AppleTV DAC will only be used to output analogue audio via the stereo jacks - HDMI or optical out will use the DACs in the TV/processor/receiver anuyway.
Stereo audio files are converted to a PCM bitstream (which will not use a DAC) for output via optical.
Personally I think even lossy MP3/AAC sounds great via optical from AppleTV. My Yamaha DSP won't upsample the PCM bitstream, but frankly upsampling audio isn't going to bring huge sonic benefits as it's only interpolating what isn't there isn't the first place. Granted opinions differ on whether upsampling makes things sound better or not, but you can't reproduce perfectly information you don't have , the interpolation will only be guesswork.
You may want to look at the 2 links here, which are along the lines of using AppleTV and Airport Express in hi-fi setups:

Normally, you would need a Mini Toslink to Toslink cable. Example below:

Most electronic superstores will have what you need as well.

External DAC for ATV?

Who's using an external DAC with their Apple TV? What make and what difference did you notice?
For stereo audio.

What will you be plugging an external DAC into?
I just run optical to an old Yamaha DSP processor for stereo (PCM) conversion and DD 5.1 decoding, this then feeds the stereo for general audio and L/R front for surround, the processor powering rear/center surround speakers.
I can't remember even trying the analogue audio out, but most say it's poor quality, though one or two comments I recall said it was very good.
I'm more than happy with my old setup for use with AppleTv so if you already have some form of home theatre setup try it with that, though if you have a stereo amp without optical input you may well want an external DA/processor.
Bear in mind AppleTV generally cannot output better than 16 bit 44.1kHz PCM to a DAC for stereo.

Playing Hi Res music using an external DAC.

I'm using a Spotify Premium account at the moment for listening to music (synched to extreme quality), but I'm considering getting a Tidal account for better quality audio. As it stands, I'm under the impression that the iPhone 6 doesn't play Hi Res audio, so just listening to music with headphones connected to the phone's 3.5mm jack seems pointless as I won't be able to tell the difference between the MP3 from Spotify and the FLAC from Tidal. Is it worth investing in an external DAC to improve the quality? Another product I saw was the Amp case which is soon to be released, is that another alternative? Currently I'm using a set of V-Moda Crossfade LP headphones, but I'm considering getting a better set (e.g. Sennheiser Momentum). I'm not looking for the best music quality money can buy, but a way to utilise the better HiFi music on Tidal so that I actually notice the difference between it and MP3. Any suggestions on DACs to buy would also be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for all of your help.
That was my worry. If I can't write to the EDD using the PC, and I have to reformat the EDD for the mac (which wipes the files), then what do I do? lol
Since I don't actually "DJ" using iTunes, I had planned to store the music files on my external hard drive and use the Virtual DJ software to play the songs.
My external hard drive is currently 128GB of music, though that may drop a bit as I plan on removing some songs that are duplicates or ones I don't use anymore.
My other question is, I notice on iPhone that some programs will periodically crash when opened (ie - Facebook and MixVibes). All of my software and OS are up to date. Does this occur on the MacBook and iPad as well?

Worn-out headphone jack as optical out for computer audio via external DAC

I have been using my iMac's headphone output jack to connect with a DAC and my audio system for some time now, but I apparently have inserted and removed the optical plug connector so many times to switch between DAC and internal iMac speakers that it has worn out: pulling the plug out of the jack no longer always switches the sound output back to internal speakers - Built-in. I have to pull it in and out several times and even this doesn't always work. Is anyone aware of a switch I could install to do this without constantly pulling the plug out and plugging it back in?

My suggestion to work around this problem would be to hook up an Airport Express. The AE also has an optical out the same as your iMac. As long as your wireless connection is robust enough you should be able to stream from your iMac to your AE and then have the optical cable connect between your AE and your DAC, which then connects to your Integrated Amp/Receiver/Pre-Amp (depending on your system configuration).
I assume because you are using the optical out and connecting to an external DAC that you are looking for a high level of Audio quality ?

10.4.3 External Keyboard Issue

Greetings,
I seem to be having an external keyboard issue. To give some background, I am on a fresh install of OSX, completely patched up to 10.4.3 via software update. I just purchased an Apple USB Keyboard and after plugging in the keyboard I noticed something funny with the keyboard layout. The HOME key doesn't work and the END key is page down, plus delete doesn't work at all. I tried plugging in this keyboard to my PC and it works beautifully.
Now I believe this issue is being caused by the iBook using the cramped keyboard layout and not the full key layout of the external one I just installed. Every piece of help information I find on the subject either points me to menu options that don't exist (my Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard menu is quite clean with only 3 options to adjust typing speed) and some of the topics on these forums don't seem to cover it, any suggestions?

Apple iBook G$ 1.33GHZ Mac OS X (10.4.3) Apple USB Keyboard

I just installed the 10.4.3 combo update and still no effect on the keyboard. A few help topics I found on this issue point me to changing the keyboard layout in international, but that isn't working at all. Some of the keyboard & mouse options the other help documents point to are missing as well. I have only 4 options for the keyboard options pane and none of them are about configuring an external keyboard so something must be wrong here.
I checked all the keys and it appears the iBook is recognizing the keyboard, however instead of modifying the input layout of the keyboard to the full size of the keyboard, it is applying the same key shortcuts that are on the iBook 12". So this means forward delete doesn't work, home and end are the same as page up and down. When I use control and any of the arrow keys I get the iBook key layout shortcuts such as page up/down and home/end.
Somewhere, I hope there is some kind of driver I can install to force the iBook to change the keyboard layout on my apple keyboard to a regular one instead of a shortcut version on the iBook.
