I was just wondering what is the current state in audio players for OS X...
I know that Amarra was once regarded as the best sounding with Audirvana+ closely behind and even surpassing it in it's latest iterations.
Nevertheless new players have emerged and other ones upgraded (I see BitPerfect is up to version 3 now).
Anyone compared various options lately? Are some players still "better" than the other?
The reason I'm asking is that I've got a new mac mini and was just wondering what program to use. In all honesty I would prefer something with itunes integration (hence the interest in BitPerfect) as I'm used to it and like it's interface. I've demoed the new Audirvana and just don't like the standalone UI...
If anyone did some comparisons lately I'd very much appreciate hearing about them...
