![]() ![]() Today with my Metrum DAC I have settled on Audirvana as the audio engine mainly because of its combination of iZotope upsampling with 2x/4x config option. Since iTunes gained "Up Next" functionality which can be accessed from its Remote app on iOS I am even more inclined to control playback with iTunes. That led me to buy my Audiophilleo and then upgrade it to PurePower config, and the result is that I can't hear any sonic impact when switching between software that is sending the same data out the wire.įor maximum convenience I stuck with iTunes as my library manager. To make my life as easy as possible, I decided years ago that any DAC which sounds different when fed the same data from different software is a broken DAC. In addition, I'm not solely interested in SQ: I'd also like a system that has a vaguely intuitive / easy to use interface - and I can't claim I find Amarra or Audivarna every easy to create playlists / control them: in both cases, there's lots of information missing and IMHO they're poor as music file storage / sorting apps - however, they're both great as music players! What are my options here? ![]() Is there any SQ to be gained by trialling Pure and Bitperfect also?Ģ. Given how much I used to spend on CDs (!) I'm happy to trial and even purchase all of these: I've recently downloaded Audivarna (running without iTunes) and it sounds great, and, just last night, downloaded Amarra as a trial, which, if anything, sounds even better!ġ. It's been a year or so since this thread was started, and I figured it's worth an update, as just in the past few months, we've had major updates for: (but please try to only reflect the latest versions in your comments). OK everyone, weigh in on your fave Mac-based digital music player. ![]()
