I need an R2R or Multibit DAC suggestion that ABSOLUTELY WILL connect to MacOS (so, not a Schiit DAC)

Would consider Arce. Most of what I listen to on Apple Music Lossless isn’t higher than 24/48khz, is it?

I’ve looked for music I like in native DSD and it’s a desert of genres I don’t generally like.
Apple music lossless goes till 24/192Khz but there is no way to stream apple music except Airplay which I don't think is lossless.

I looked it up and it says it is, but that it doesn’t go up past 24/48khz.

Does NAA require a cable, or is it a wireless connection (from HQ Player)?

NAA doesn't require cable. HQplayer uses it to stream Hi-res audio. Streamer has to support it though. Pi based streamer works fine as there are number of OS with NAA support.

Was thinking about Denafrips Arce, which does support.

Also, re: HQ Player—it says it’s an upsampler. Does that mean it samples lower rez files to a higher Rez somehow? If so, how?

I'd say if you don't know what HQPlayer is, then I'd avoid it.

I’ve heard there’s a steep learning curve. Anyone done a tutorial on it?

Update:

I bought a Douk Audio U2 Pro and an optical cable and I’m back in business!

It was solely the USB on the BIMBY.
