Re: Playing hi-res audio through external DAC

Hi Andy.

I understand that I can change the output settings in Audio Midi Setup, but how
do I do it programmatically? And would the same technique apply to iOS?

I am trying to write my own audio player, a la Audivirna for Mac or Onkyo
player for iOS.

Thanks!

-Kenny
