I have an M1 Mac mini. I prefer my linux music server. I just updated to MacOS 15.1 because of the Apple Intelligence AI feature and plugged it into my DAC for fun. Of note I can get to 32bit 768khz with the USB Audio now and I don't know how to explain it, but it sounds different than Windows and Linux.

If you prefer intel based sound moving forward I don't think MacOS will be supported for long on it, in favor of their own M series processors. I can tell you Windows 11 sounds great compared to Linux and Apple. I keep my linux server because I upscale to DSD.

Maybe you can try to upgrade to version 15.1 of MacOS because I noticed USB Audio seems improved. At least that's what I see.
