Hello,
I have a DAC (hegel hd12) which uses the cm6632a chip and I have a driver (kext format, which contains Intel unix exec) that works fine on Intel mac running on Catalina. This driver is necessary to stream DSD files (without the driver, only PCM).
If I upgrade to the new ARM mac, I think this driver doesnt gonna work anymore, but Cmedia doesnt do anything to maintain their old drivers... but technically, it must be a way to make it compatible, wrong ?
In the kext package of the driver, there is only a plist file (which is only plain text) and an executable.
Is there a way to create an ARM compatible executable from the original Intel executable, or we have to rewrite everything for an ARM architecture ? I dont have any competences for the second option 🙁
I think if we could create an ARM compatible exec from the original Intel exec, maybe we could create a Kext file which is compatible with the new ARM mac ?
I dont want to buy a new Dac, i'm very satisfied with the DSD on the HD12 😢 but I need to upgrade my computer, soon or later
Any ideas ?
Sorry for my english if I made mistakes, i'm not a native speaker 😉

Moving from intel to arm will require a new driver (assuming it is compiled).
In theory it will be attractive for developers to make the jump. It’s likely the apis will change with the new os releases too which is a risk.
Unfortunately that’s why i stopped developing for apple.
