When setting the output bitdepth (ie 16/24/32) in the MacOS ‘Midi Control panel’, you are setting the highest supported bit depth that you wish to use.
You software on the computer will then be able to use all rates ‘up to‘ this setting.

(you don’t need to keep changing it here)
I can see only specific combinations (eg. 16/44.1, 32/96 etc.) when I set 32/192 (24/192 is not available) that is highest declared output from apple music, diablo is always white led. Although I play 16/44.1 that should show yellow led. this affects only apple music app that itself seems to not recognize external dac internally like roon or tidal do. it sends music to sound output set on mac os level

我兩天前剛在商店買了一個暗黑破壞神。我嘗試了暗黑破壞神和簽名各 10 分鐘。耳機為Focal elegia,線材為黑龍特級。暗黑破壞神聽起來更乾淨、更堅實、更自然。相比功能性更強的signature,Xbass能夠得到比暗黑破壞神更強烈的反饋,但3D音效部分在聽音樂時並不佔優勢。總的來說,暗黑破壞神在音質方面對我來說是一個巨大的勝利,而簽名則具有價格更低和功能更多的優勢。

Just curious - how difficult it is to implement a digital volume control for Diablo?

I mean something like the volume control of audioquest dragonflies. I want to use my smartphone to lower the "input volume", so that I can get rid of the double adapters including IEmatch. Is it possible to do in the firmware?

that's all up to the device you got it connected to. works for me with the Qobuz app, also works for my linux laptop.

:thumbsup: Cool.
I should have asked him. ;)
Be aware the Diablo can get quite warm/hot, not sure if the miter case can cause any problems with Sufficient cooling, especially in Brasil.
