Anubis adds support for latest Apple OS

Several feature enhancements have been made to Merging Technologies’ Anubis platform. A new virtual audio device for Mac users is available that is compatible with Apple’s Mojave 10.14.5/10.14.6 and Catalina 10.15.x OS. The ability to control the preamps remotely from any web browser is also available on the latest version of firmware.

Merging+Anubis Premium was already DXD compatible, but the manufacturer notes that there were some challenges in completing a full DSD workflow. This is now available as a free-of-charge firmware update. While DSD necessarily imposes some restrictions on the functionality of Anubis which are the consequence of the one-bit quantisation, Anubis offers a full DSD workflow up to DSD256, including the volume control of all outputs such as headphone monitoring. Input metering can select the SACD headroom scale of +6dB and all usual monitor control features are said to be available. Further enhancements to DSD support are planned later this year.

The latest version of Pyramix has also added additional functionality that addresses immersive audio workflows which are increasingly important in gaming and live situations. Up to 7th Order Ambisonics options are now available. Improvements to the internal mixer and VS3 plug-in support for some popular FLUX products have also been introduced.
