[QUOTE="kolakidd, post: 1106916, member: 14465"] Don’t they all just run through core audio anyway. I know Audirvāna claims to have the shortest signal path, but it’s still through core audio. I mean it’s all bits until hits the dac. I used to use Audirvana, and then switched to Roon for convenience, and I really couldn’t hear a difference with a stock install. The Tidal app definitely beat Apple Music, but my last test was a couple of months back, the software updates are pretty frequent. I will try Tidal VS Tidal Roon. Again though, when I check the signal path in Roon, it’s pretty much MQA unfold and then sample rate conversion to dac. FYI the Apple charger SMPS is no slouch, take a look at a proper tear down. I also definitrlely wouldn’t substitute it for another psu, unless it is Apple certified. It has active circuitry that works in conjunction with MacOS [/QUOTE]
