  Linux - DAC function - bug 

Linux has a bug so does Mac.

How is the sound compared to 2.20? I'm old school. Can't get away from it. Although it would be nice to be able to use it aa a DAC from time to time. I am still using a 2011 MacBook Pro. Can't live without the cd drive.

What about Grados with dx90?

I ran Grado 325e with DX90.

Pretty good, pretty good.

OS X DAC function:

2. on mac mini late 2014 + el capitan = doesn't work
3. on mac mini 2009  + el capitan = works!

On the two instances in red, do you see the DX90 listed in the Audio Midi setup utility? Also, make sure your Mac didn't default to a sampling rate the DX90 doesn't support. Good Luck!

Title on the Thread should be modified : 2.4.0 instead of 2.3.0

Yes, I have "DX90" in Audio Midi list. 48 kHz/2 channels/32 bit. Set it default.
Checked it on Mac mini 2014 with different songs 16bit/44kHz via VOX. It works, but sound has some clicks every ~2 seconds... Like vinyl
And I hear this clicks only during playing song. They are absent in pauses.
Something strange...

Are you sure about 32bit?

2. Improved M3U playlist import function.

Does somenone knows how it works ?

Tried 2.4 L0. I did appreciate the USB battery indicator fix BUT felt the sound overall to be less to be my taste than 2.30L1. Soundstage and instrument separation may be a bit better but I found the tonal balance to shift toward toward upper mids and treble, creating a bit of grain in female vocals and snares / cymbals become a bit too bright. Conversely, I heard a bit less sub-bass and overall bass impact in 2.4L0. So bak to 2.3L1 for me. I know some found that FW to be too bright but I do not. What an interestingly subjective experience this hobby provides....no substitute for listening and determining what sounds best to each individual despite all the great and helpful views shared on this site. Happy listening!

I had a folder with .m3u file. I went to playlist, point to that file and click import. A complete scanning began, but I was late for work so I had to stop it. Tonite will try again
