Hey all,
Just got a Devilsound USB DAC and am enjoying it so far. I recommended it to a friend, who asked me a question:
What digital audio format actually comes out of the USB port on a Mac?
That is: I can play AIFF, WAV, Apple Lossless, MP3, MIDI using the Mac's internal MIDI device, etc. etc. etc...and it all goes out the USB port to the DAC (or to whatever "output device" I select). Am I right in assuming that all these formats are being digitally converted to some common format before they go out the port? If so, what is it? My friend raised the specter that it is a lossy format, though I suggested that was very unlikely.
Thanks, Marlon
