The web site claims native CoreAudio supports, so there should not be any
secret sauce.

Please show the contents of /proc/asound/card?/stream0.

[Alsa-user] Driver for ESI Gigaport HD+ for 24/96 capability

2019-04-12 Thread Nicolas 
"ESI Gigaport HD+"
This DAC has 8 channels and is 24/96 capable (if using 2 channels) but under
7.1, it is limited at 16/44.

As I understand it, there is no specific Linux driver for this DAC as there
is one in Windows.
 
Due to a lack of a linux driver, the DAC is always set to 8 channels so
limited to 16/44.  Hence, any FLAC above red book CD, like 24/96 for
instance, are rendered at 16/44 which is frustrating for the HiFi community
as folks that rely on this DAC do it for it’s exceptional acoustic quality
and could not care less for the other 6 channels if it means downsampling.
