I followed the instruction for the DP-24SD to get tracks from the DP to my PC desktop. I accomplished it the first time, which is unusual for me! From there, I would drag it on top of the Reaper icon (which makes Reaper full-screen), and then I place the track where I want it within Reaper.
I don't know if the last part, or if any, would be different for Apple.

Use the EXPORT function on the DP24. Select the tracks you want to export. If there are punches and such it'll all be reconstructed as a single file per track. Export tracks. These will now be in the AUDIO DEPOT folder. By USB or by reading the SD card directly, copy these to an appropriate folder on the Mac. Open Reaper. Select INSERT/Media file, highlight the tracks, import to separate tracks (there's a dialogue box that'll ask you). Save project in Reaper.
There's a lot more you can do to facilitate this in Reaper, and it's good to have a file organization structure that will keep files for each project in their own folders. But that's a topic for another day.
