Time Delay program between Apple Music and Topping DM-7 8 Channel DAC


Recommended Posts

I've just implemented a 5.1.2 Atmos playback system with a Mac Mini M2, Apple Music and Topping DM-7 8 channel USB DAC. I'm adding 10ms of delay to four Rear and Height speakers using two stereo Behringer DSP units between the DAC and amp. This is a clunky solution (A/D > digital delay > D/A) and I'd prefer to add delay in the digital domain before the DAC.

 

I'm looking for a (hopefully) simple way of steering the output of Apple Music and/or Roon through a delay program before it goes to the DAC. I know Roon already has speaker time delay DSP, but until I'm able to steer Apple Music Atmos streams through Roon, that doesn't help me.

 

A musician friend told me about MAC plug-in hosts that performers use to process instruments/vocals in real time when rehearsing and playing live. That approach sounds promising but I don't know if Apple Music can be routed through a plug-in host on a MAC. Has anyone tried this for music streaming playback? Is there another way to add delay between Apple Music and DAC?

 

Thanks.

I don’t if this will be helpful, I too have the Topping DM7. I am using Dirac multichannel combine with bass control, room correction in my 2.4 setup. Dirac will set the time delay for all your speakers automatically or you can set the time delays manually. Dirac runs on Mac as well.  Even in a dedicated room with room treatment I highly recommend Dirac.
