Mac Q&A

I’m using a beginner level IEM to start my audiophile journey. Is external DAC is really necessary to experience a lossless HI-RES content in MacBook Air M1?

Hi bro, Yes we still need DAC to listen to hi res lossless audio on mac. You can refer the following document.

for mac computers to listen higher than 48KHz, we need to connect DAC. I hope it helps.
