TEAC Hi-Res Editor
TEAC Hi-Res Editor is a free, dual-channel audio waveform editing software designed for high-resolution audio enthusiasts and professionals working with DSD and PCM files. It supports editing and converting between DSD formats (2.8–11.2 MHz) and PCM formats up to 384 kHz with 16/24/32-bit depths. Users can trim and join audio files, set fade-in and fade-out points using waveform display, and perform format conversions. The software is distributed freely from TEAC's website and is commonly used by audiophiles and audio engineers who need to work with hi-resolution audio sources without paying for a full DAW or mastering suite.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results confirm that TEAC Hi-Res Editor has a Mac version, but there is no mention of a native Apple Silicon (arm64) build or a Universal Binary — all references describe "Mac supported" in the context of an older Intel-compatible application. TEAC appears to have shifted focus toward their hardware products and the Hi-Res Editor is no longer actively developed. There is no clear information about whether TEAC plans to release a native Apple Silicon build before macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 support in September 2028. If you regularly rely on this tool for high-resolution audio editing, contact TEAC directly to ask whether they intend to ship a native build. As alternatives, consider Audacity (free, open-source, runs natively on Apple Silicon and handles standard PCM editing well), Adobe Audition (professional-grade, native support, subscription-based), or Steinberg WaveLab (if you need comprehensive mastering tools). For DSD-specific workflows, check whether your hi-resolution audio player or DAW of choice has native DSD editing capabilities built in, as standalone DSD editors are increasingly rare.
