What are your thoughts ? Could someone with good gear (and please, leave psychoacoustics aside. So long story short, I'm not sure to know what to make out of it. Again, deactivating Audirvana gimmicks don't change much. This is quiet obvious but I have NO IDEA what causes this difference. The drums are much more present on iTunes than they are on Audirvana.
I gave another try on David Bowie's Modern Love from Let's dance. But maybe there is some compression going on somewhere that would explain this ? The drums seem to be a tad better split from the bass also. The zzzz zzzzzzz zzzzzzz on the intro where you hear the slide rubbing the guitar strings i.e. I'm not sure I hear much of a difference with the Audirvana tweaks on or off to be honest.īut I have then listened to "Once upon a time in the west" from Dire straits, sending from both platforms to my system.Īnd well, it SEEMS like Music might be doing a better job for some reason.Or at least, there seem to be some extra ear candy when playing through iTunes compared to Audirvana. Has iTunes (Music app) rendered Audirvana obsolete ? So far so good, I suppose you understand where I'm going with this. I have checked the Utilities > Audio and midi app, and checked that my Mac is sending 24/192 to my DAC indeed. (the settings have been set accordingly)Īll special settings in iTunes have been disabled for information.(Sound correction, Volume EQ etc). Now Apple has thrown another stone in the quiet pond, and is now sending audio to my DAC the same way Audirvana is, at the native resolution. So far I've been using Audirvana to send music to my DAC and amplifier. My Mac is connected to a DAC via USB (actually a sound interface from Komplete Audio that behaves brilliantly as a basic DAC). The music itself, mostly lossless ALAC HD files (ranging from 16/44.1 to 24/192) is stored on a NAS on my network. Please check which rates your DAC can handle before placing your purchase.My music is handled by Apple Music app (let's call it iTunes for simplicity purposes, everybody will understand I suppose).
