Pure Music Player 1.74 issues

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

hello all, if you use Pure Music I have a question for you. it works fine on my iMac, but on my Mac Mini server, it doesn't output to digital. after a few restarts of the software, and even reboots of the machine, I caved and now listen via headphones. but I want to use the digital out (same jack) to a DAC and dedicated headphone amp, not only directly into IEMs.

 

(by the way, in case anyone cares: both my Ultimate Ears custom IEMs give my two tube-amped DT880s some stiff competition indeed - four options that are different but almost equal, unless I'm into splitting hairs). 

 

so what do I do in Pure Music settings to make the Mac output properly to the digital out? I also use SoundSource, a small app that allows switching between inputs and outputs, and it shows the digital out when I connect the DAC, but refuses to activate it as an output. please help me troubleshoot this issue, which I have never seen on the iMac (same output cable in the same kind of DAC there...)

In the Pure Music preferences have you selected your DAC in the pull down list? 

 

This is done in the "Audio Setup" option.  It's where you also choose to "select device from application".  That should tell Pure Music what device to talk to.

yes. but it does not actually address the optical out. guess I'm going to reboot the machine once more after resetting all prefs in PM to defaults...
