There's a web interface that could be used, but I wanted to use the high-res mode with this DAC. First world problems of course, but just needlessly frustrating.

They're currently working on a complete remake of Cider [1], which is "powered by Rust. With a partial shift away from Electron". That might fit your needs? The latest release, v2.3.0, also supports forcing the player to use 256kbps[2] [1]: https://cidercollective.itch.io/cider [2]: https://cidercollective.itch.io/cider/devlog/674855/cider-v2...

I believe the DRM Apple adds makes the Hi-Res options exceedingly difficult to access from outside of their platform.

Cider seemed to struggle just getting the 256kbps. So getting the lossless options, are not gonna be any easier, but hopefully Cider can figure it out with time!
