Audio MIDI Setup is located in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.

hello everyone, I would like to thank you all for the help you have given me.
now everything seems to work:
mini mac --> (usb) --> Eitr --> (spdif) --> Multibit (SPDIF input) --> (rca) --> preamplifier
who knows if I will finally able to give you some listening impressions!

@gasgas how do you like the Modi Multibit so far? While they measure poorly, they're not bad and actually really a pleasant sounding dac as long as you don't expect it to sound clean & accurate. I do have other superbly measuring dacs like the Topping D50s & Modi 3 and yes those sound cleaner but honestly, i'm in this hobby to enjoy music and guess what dac makes me enjoy the music more? Unfortunately, the bad measuring one

yes, in fact when i saw the measures (after buying it!) i was frozen .. hundreds of dollars wasted!
But from a first listening (only a few hours unfortunately) it seemed very pleasant & clean.
On the other hand, also my "old" CD player (a top of the lin Accuphase player) has always had the reputation of playing a little" dark ".. but .... never felt darkness

It depends on the resolving quality of the rest of your system. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link... and the DAC might not be the weakest link...

I got the HE400i and MrSpeakers Alpha Dogs headphones, magni 2 headphone amp, Origain speaker amp, both connected via schiit Sys as a switcher.
As an owner of a modi multibit I found this really disappointing, fortunately I just spent $250 of modi and not more as others on their more expensive brothers (although not long ago I felt tempted to do so), so now I'm happy to found this forum in which I can trust before buying a DAC again, thanks amirm and folks, keep doing your excellent job!!

Welcome to the forum! May your next choices be enlightened!
I have the Modi MB and far prefer SPDIF using the Allo DigiOne or an inexpensive Signstek USB to SPDIF converter from my laptop.

You basically have to use SPDIF with these Schiit products. Their USB interface is flawed.

I have multiple DACs here at home and when I plug the Modi Multibit back in I am immediately taken with how much darker sounding it is compared to my others. Like the 3D aspect of music and its like everything has a layer of Vaseline on top of it smoothing it all out.

I gave my Mimby away because I was hogging all the gear but I agree totally. The smooth sound of it is fantastic. I miss Mimby much. Upgrading to the BiFrost 2 has taken away the sound I loved and replaced it with a cleaner, sterile sound.
Uh huh.
User preferences don’t have to correlate to measureable fidelity improvements. Look at the loads of people who proclaim vinyl is superior to digital.

The "smooth sound"? It sounds like utter dogshit to put it lightly. All details in music are missing, some things sound "jagged" because of how much distortion there is. If you like to listen to music without any details then just get a $10 pair of headphones and use that all day every.
There is no reason to actually spend money to have something that sounds so frigging bad.
