I have an intel mac mini
I have 3 Belcanto USB dacs. I can play each of them separately, they work extremely well. I have a problem though. I would like to be able to play the same tune to all 3 of these amps at the same time. IE: If I play a song in iTunes, all 3 amps receive the same stream via USB Each amp has is attach to one of the four usb outputs on the mac mini. I tried the aggregate device idea, under midi app control. The thing is that this aggregate device is composed of 3 separate stereo systems. It's correct. However, I can't assign the same stream to each system, thus the same 2 channels to each set of speakers. So I can play only one amp at a time and need to go to the conf to change the amp I want to play. Does anyone know how I can change the settings so that the itunes stereo stream is duplicated one the 3 usb amps at the same time? I don't want to have a device beetween the mac and the amps for several reasons: 1st: I'm certain it's just a code line and the mac is higly capable of this, however no one ever thought about it and cared to enable this. 2nd: I don't want a third party piece of hardware to mess with my system. Thanks for any idea of input on this Bye |

I guess no one will ever be interrested in the solution I found. Even if it's free.
Strange that no one even cared, so much that I didn"t have even a question or anything. c u |

Not really sure what you are trying to do, also have no idea what a belcanto DAC is.
iTunes is one stereo stream, that can be assigned to one stereo output at a time. Aggregate device allows multiple devices to be addressed like a single device. Also i don't visit this forume everyday.

Well I found a solution, as I wrote in my bump reply yesterday.
I was just a bit astonished by the large amount of reading, but absolutely no reply for my question. I would have prefered a reply like yours, but weeks ago  But I know I'm a bit negative in my replies from yesterday. However, the only reaction I got was after being negative like this Just forget it then. Bye |
