AQ Device Manager is currently Intel-only and has not yet received a native Apple Silicon build. The search results indicate version 1.1 (released circa 2022) remains in X86 architecture with no reported arm64 support. Since more than two years have passed without a native update and we are now 27 months away from Apple's removal of Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), contact AudioQuest directly to ask about native Apple Silicon support plans. If the vendor cannot commit to a native build before September 2028, you should begin evaluating alternative audio device management tools or plan to keep a separate Intel Mac or virtualisation for this specific workflow. For now the app continues to run under Rosetta, but that window is closing.
