Distortion using Macbook M3

[JIW]

Since the issue is fixed, nyet.

So there is no issue at full system volume anymore?

There is no distortion if the music app's volume itself is reduced to approximately 15-20%. !.5.2.56 is the version of Apple Music.

I thought that setting the Apple Music volume to max and using the volume control of your DAC or amp was the way to bit-perfect music (assuming the sampling rates).

And with other programs?

Yes. If the sample rate is matched and the bit depth is at least that of the file.

You’re not reading the thread. Portable dac with no volume control and on board speakers on M3 was the discussion

And with other programs?

Music apps?

Music apps?

You dont use a sound control app, like for example soundsource, do you?
