Colibri DAC DSD Test uses the same audio core as Colibri. It’s a free download from the Mac AppStore, while Colibri is a paid. Think of it as a demo version of sorts. If you are wondering how Colibri sounds with your audio device, this is for you! Is it really free? Colibri 1.9.1 Changelog Thank you for using Colibri! Iexplorer 3 9 0 0. This updates brings a bunch of bugfixes (codec errors, SoundFont usage, per-Song BS2B/EQ profiles, various crashes), eight new playlist columns (.and sorting for all!), a new 'insert' mode for the Playlist, switchable Auto-Play and Permanent Pause options - among other smaller enhancements.
Settings -> Output now better fits all kHz entries
Volume is now automatically raised to 100% for DSD files when DoP/DoPA mode is selected and restored to previous volume level for non-DSD files (and PCM mode)
Unsupported DST encoded DSD and DTS encoded WAV files will now show proper Unsupported Codec error messages
added an alternate fallback method for Automatic Sample Rate Switching for stubborn DACs (Colibri uses it automatically when needed)
Finder sorting order is used to enqueueing files to the Playlist
Playlist will be rendered with system default monospace font when available (macOS 10.11 and up)
added a ‘Use Default SoundFont’ option for MIDI files to the right-click context menu of the Playlist
removing the default SoundFont will automatically set the next available SoundFont as the default
if the SoundFont list is empty, then the first SoundFont will automatically be marked as the default
removing a SoundFont only causes playback restart if the currently played song is affected by the removal
importing a new SoundFont will automatically set it as the default
new switchable option in Settings -> Playlist: “Dragging to the Playlist via Mouse / Trackpad”:
songs will be added at pointer position (insert)
songs will be added at the end of the list (append, like before)
added ‘Permanent Pause’ to Settings -> Behavior (Off, by default):
pause will ‘hold’ until the Play button is pressed again
switching to a different song will ‘arm’/prepare the song for playback
seeking repositions the playhead and it will play audio from the selected spot once unpaused
removing songs from the playlist does not affect the paused state
added ‘Auto-Play’ to Settings -> Behavior (On, by default):
On: Colibri automatically plays the next song
Off: Colibri stops when the current song ends
Playlist Columns have been rewritten from scratch for improved stability: see Settings -> Columns
Columns are now sortable:
click on the header once to sort playlist by that column
clicking once again switches between Ascending/Descending sorting
sorting is supported across all columns
added new Columns:
Length, kHz, Codec, Year, Track Number, Disc Number, Composer and Bit Depth
Playlist Columns can now have vertical and horizontal Grids:
they help in finding the columns boundaries during reordering and resizing
Grids can be toggled on/off in Settings -> Themes
a color picker has been added to Settings -> Themes for the Grid
new Loop option ‘Random Round Robin’ in Settings -> Playlist:
each song in the Playlist will be played once per “round”
when all songs were played once, a new “round” begins
removing a song causes the “round”
double-clicking on a song does not reset the “round”
a great way to have a balanced, random playback order
monospace system fonts are now used in both the Title bar and Status bar (10.11 and up)
