Title: Mac Playback?
Post by: jpschust on March 10, 2004, 04:27:57 PM

I'm looking for a way to play back 24/96 from my powerbook... i know the vxpocket doesnt go that high and the ua-5 resamples as it goes...what do people suggest?

what would you use on a windows laptop?  you can probably use the same here

m-audio stuff, egosys, multiset, etc

you could use an EMI 2/6. I am using it with my ibook for a few days without any problems

for what it's worth I was reading in the newest edition of mac Addict that there is a firwire chip upgrade that is comming that will allow for 24/96 7.1 stereo output over the firewire.
