Hello
all,
I'm new to this group.
I want to use my Mac-Mini as high quality audio
player.
My question is if I
can do this by writing an audio subunit.
I want uncompressed
audio files (probably wav files) to be played back such that each
sample is exactly send
to the digitail output
port. Without modification. Each bit exact as it is in the
uncompressed file.
Is this
possible?
Of course. The conversion to and from float is bit accurate in
the audio driver. If you want to use the system as is, it will be as
high as quality as you can get. There is also a mode called native
format mode that you can set the audio path to 16 or 24 bit mode if
the audio driver supports that then you supply the integer samples
directly. There is no dithering down in the driver so if you do go
from a high bit depth to a lower bit depth then there will be
truncation errors.
