I see this is unanswered so I'll send my thoughts:
- Is the DAC set to the correct input?
- On my MacMini/iMac/MacPro, when the program (Roon) is playing correctly in Exclusive mode, the Audio output displayed on the Apple MIDI still shows output to the device sound output NOT the DAC. This has been explained to me as how EXCLUSIVE is used by the play software. But I've never had to manually set this, the play software (in my case, Roon) has automatically set this. Perhaps try to set the audio out to the MacMini and see if Audirvana resets it automatically.
Roon has settings that "see" and report the various endpoints in the system. DACS that are connected, Apple TVs, etc. Is it possible that in Audirvana setup you need to select the desired endpoint as that TEAC?
