  1. I can only speak for myself. ISOtoDSD is with OS X a sequential process for me. One ISO at a time. It takes quite some system resources to progress. (Top if the line iMac 2015)
  2. Hello Karl, Thx a lot for following up. Yes, you're correct. iTunes won't take .DSF / .DFF files natively. Yet, the common import of various DSD ISOs is well under control as long as the SACD does contain a stereo signal in the .ISO To extract data from .ISO I have these tools at my disposal: TraX and iso2dsd_OSX_v5 for ISO to DSF conversion. Once I have a stereo .DSF or .DFF file I can convert these files literally into to any common audio format. The tools in my box for .DSF to Apple Lossless conversion are: TraX, PhonoPhile, DSDmaster, or XLD for DSF to iTunes conversion. Now, to play HighRes music I can use VLC, iTunes or more preferred Audirvana Plus 2.0. Audirvana Plus 2.0 in stand alone mode can import, read and play multi channel .DSD files as stereo. However, I have problems converting multi channel .DSF files to Apple Lossless that actually iTunes accepts. I have had no issue to convert 24/192k stereo .DSF files into Apple Lossless, and they play well under iTunes management. But these multi channel .DSF files are nasty, and the resulting Apple Lossless files won't be imported by iTunes at all. Question is: Who can suggest a way under OS X to only extract the FL and FR as main stereo signals out of multi channel .ISO or .DSF files? I am almost certain, they'll then work with iTunes after conversion too. Cheers! Michael
  3. Hello Latka, Today, I have purchased your tool. How can I open these cool analysis window and the setting windows from your tool? I cannot find any button that would do this job. In addition I have problems generating apple output files that iTunes would accept. Basically I have the .iso, and the extracted .dsf files are working for me. I can listen to them with Audirvana 2 Plus. But iTunes does not at all add the converted results to the library. I want to try out other settings, but I cannot find the output settings page any more. Thank you. Michael
