But what is does do is to, somehow, play any type of files whether high-resolution or not. The beautiful part of this app is that it is compatible with airplay (after a little fiddling) and that it just sits in the background without changing the iTunes user interface in any way.

Download the BitPerfect app from the Mac App Store. (Always the tweaking!) The bits need to be cleaned up. But first a little tweaking is necessary. The audio playback can sound wonderful, even from iTunes. This could be done from an iPad or iPhone, but the laptop provides more flexibility and the use of additional software. With a Mac laptop, using the latest operating system, one can airplay his or her music to the great AudioEngine A2+’s. This is needed to establish a home network so that one can airplay directly from a laptop.) Remembering that we are still talking about casual listening, I have discovered the joy of having great music at my finger tips for an unheard of price. I already had an Apple Airport Express which connects to the AudioEngine speakers. (Well, I did spend $650 on the used MacBook Pro. I just upgraded my audio system for the unheard of price of ten dollars. In fact, Apple has asked that all music producers submit their recordings in a high resolution format. This has enabled Apple to improve the sound on many recordings, whether labeled as “Mastered for iTunes” or not. Apple has done that with its “Mastered for iTunes” program. If, however, the original master tapes or digital recordings are carefully transferred, the sound can be quite good. What Apple has done is significantly improve the sound of iTunes. I have been able to locate some wonderful classic recordings. It is a great way to discover new music or get re-acquainted with some old classics. It is now easier to navigate after some recent tweaking by Apple.

I bought a used MacBook Pro laptop at a very good price from my local computer store. And it can reproduce realistic sound with a little experimentation. But I have found that it can come very close to the point that I can imagine myself at a live concern if I turnoff the super critical OCD mindset.

(I will always clean my vinyl and dust the stylus.) Let us call it casual listening.Ĭan casual listening be enjoyable? Yes! Can such listening compete with high-definition sound? Well, not quite.

It is for the software – I mean the music. There are days when you just want to sit back and enjoy the music without any fuss. But let us not forget why we have all this expensive hardware. Finally, BitPerfect loads your music files into high-speed RAM memory and plays them from there, eliminating file I/O during playback.Audiophiles are often fiddling with their system to wring out the very best sound possible. Third, BitPerfect supports ‘Integer Mode’ playback, which many audiophiles believe is the most accurate playback mode of all, provided your DAC supports it, and only if your Mac is running Snow Leopard (or until Integer Mode is supported under Lion/Mountain Lion). Second, BitPerfect automatically recognizes and handles the audio stream’s bit-depth and sample rate, and performs any conversions that may be necessary for your DAC to play the music – even if iTunes can’t. This so-called ‘Hog Mode’ means that only the music you select to play – and absolutely nothing else – is played back through your hi-fi system. These instead are directed to the computer’s sound card (or wherever else you want them sent).

First, it isolates the music output directed to the audio DAC from all of the beeps and burps that computers seem to insist on producing from time to time. As a result, you will be able to listen to your tracks at the highest quality possible.īeyond its audio engine, BitPerfect provides a number of additional features that we consider essential to audiophile playback. Is able to work with iTunes and provides a bit perfect rendition of your audio files. 2,316 downloads Updated: OctoCommercialware. I have been testing it, and not only does it work fine with BitPerfect, it also fixes whatever was causing the problem with “Minimize iTunes Interaction” mode that occurred with iTunes 12.4.0, so BitPerfect users who prefer that mode of operation can feel confident enough to try enabling it again.

Today Apple released update 12.4.1 for iTunes. The app is developed by Tim Murison and its user rating is 5 out of 5. It is a perfect match for Players in the Audio & Video category. The latest version of BitPerfect is 3.2 on Mac Informer. Be that as it may, we created BitPerfect as a vehicle that encapsulates nearly everything we know about optimizing the sound quality of audio playback on the Mac platform. How and why these principles can affect what is always ‘bit perfect’ audio playback remains a matter of speculation and, in some quarters, outright skepticism.
