64-bit VST and AU plug-in for Mac, alternative as a Rack Extension for Reason 7.1+ (Mac & Windows). I did test the VST plugin version in FL Studio DAW.

Sound

This tool is close to a sound you get from a 12-bit sampler Akai sampler. The  RX950 Classic AD/DA Converter supports that classic traditional 12-bit resolution. The developer emulated the 950’s audio signal path with changeable sampling frequency an and emulated steep 6th-order low-pass Butterworth filter.

User interface & Usability

The plugin is small and can not be resized, that makes it hard to read on 4k or 5k monitor or if you have eye sign issues. Besides being hard to read it has all the features you expect from an RX950 Classic AD/DA converter.

You can dial in the S950’s unique grit and warm distortion. Very powerful and makes the track stand out. There is a knob to control the target sample rate and analog-to-digital conversion circuitry. After that, you can dial in the S950’s notorious low-pass filter. Note that the developer included a mono button.
