Topic: ADI-2 DAC: Driver Installation für macOS 12.7 nötig?

Ich arbeite seit vielen Jahren mit meinem ADI-2 DAC V.1 (Firmware V.62) an macOS Monterrey und alles was ich brauche funktioniert bestens. DANKE RME. Dies meines Wissens ohne, dass ich mal einen Driver installiert hätte. (Im System finde ich mit "de.RME" nur Files zu Remote und Update-Tool)

Gibt es einen triftigen Grund einen auf der RME-Webseite angebotenen Driver zu installieren?

Nein.
Das Gerät funktioniert und Du bist zufrieden dann lass es so wie es ist.
Für Windows User macht es einen Unterschied dort wird das Gerät durch den Treiber als ASIO Audiogerät zur Verfügung gemacht für ASIO fähige Musikprogramme.
Für Mac is das nicht relevant.
Der Treiber hat Einstellungsmöglichkeiten für SampleRate, das ist aber auch im Audio-Midi-Setup vom MacOS erreichbar.

To see playback data use the Loopback to USB option as explained in chapter 12.1. The following is a short summary of the currently available functions:


 Level Meter. High precision 24-bit resolution, 2 channels. Application examples: Peak level measurement, RMS level measurement, over detection, phase correlation measurement, dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratios, RMS to peak difference (loudness), long term peak measurement, input check. Oversampling mode for levels higher than 0 dBFS. Supports visualization according to the K-System.

 Spectral Analyser. World wide unique 10-, 20- or 30-band display in analog bandpass filter technology. 192 kHz-capable!

 Vector Audio Scope. World wide unique Goniometer showing the typical afterglow of a oscilloscope-tube. Includes Correlation meter and level meter.

 Totalyser. Spectral Analyser, Level Meter and Vector Audio Scope in a single window.

 Surround Audio Scope. Professional Surround Level Meter with extended correlation analysis, ITU weighting and ITU summing meter.

 ITU1770/EBU R128 Meter. For standardized loudness measurements.

Oh sorry, da habe ich laienhaft wohl etwas verwechselt. Die folgenden "Driver for macOS" haben mich verunsichert -> https://rme-audio.de/de_driverkit-vs-ke … nsion.html

Danke für die Rückmeldungen.
