Funny that, I listen to my Qobuz and Linn 24/96 files and the Mac definitely tells the DAC it is that.
Correct.It will use whatever the Audio/Midi mixer is set to.
Correct.
I’m buying a MacBook, and I would like to know if iTunes is bit perfect.The idea is to use the usb input of my Rega and improve the sound, at the moment I have windows and foobar 2000.
Try Audirvana. It’s excellent.
iTunes still sucks mightily as a library for music. One category for Classical? No provision for sub categories? Tags are no substitute, it takes too long when a simple drag and drop into a folder will do the job.
J River wins hands down over old and new Audirvana and AmarraI was using iTunes on a Mac mini running 10.7.5 and doing all the things I had read to do to ensure BitPerfect output, but then found an old free version of Audirvana and to me that sounds better.
