What is new in Vespertine 0.10.0

**Vespertine now runs on macOS 14.4 Sonoma and later, gains a parametric equalizer with AutoEQ import, and brings your playlists over from M3U files and Apple Music. This is the 1.0 beta: please try it on your own DAC and [tell us how it went](https://github.com/szeremeta1/Vespertine/issues/new?template=dac_report.yml).**

### Runs on Sonoma and Sequoia
- **Vespertine now needs macOS 14.4 or later**, not macOS 26. Any Mac that runs Sonoma can update to 14.4. It was tested end to end on macOS 14 and 15: playback, the signal path, the equalizer and playlist import.

### Parametric equalizer
- **Window › Equalizer (⌥⌘E).** Up to 20 peak, shelf, low-pass and high-pass bands and a preamp, run in 64-bit and dithered to your DAC's word length. Edits are heard within one device buffer.
- **Import a headphone correction** from [AutoEQ](https://autoeq.app) (its `ParametricEQ.txt`) or an Equalizer APO configuration, and export your own.
- **See the curve and whether it can clip.** When a curve can push the signal over full scale, the Equalizer says so and sets the preamp that prevents it in one click.
- **A preset per output**, so your headphone amp gets its correction and your speakers don't.
