L.D. Moore - I noticed that too as my DAC has an external display which shows the locked signal sample rate. However, I asked around on various forums and it seems that the AudioMIDI sample rate changes when it's switched, but iTunes still locks on to the sample rate that was set upon the app's opening. So, AudioMIDI is up (or down) sampling from the iTunes locked in rate.
Apple 24 Bit 96 KhZ
With a new iMac 2.8GHz 10.5.5 OS how best to get 24 bit 96 KhZ? I have formatted the Audio Midi Setup to 96KHz 2Ch-24 bit. Can you play 2496 source music from the iTunes either through USB or Toslink/digital optical cable from the mini jack into a state of the art DAC - which is best audiophile?

Has anyone tried MAX from Sbooth? http://sbooth.org/. A friend in Germany strongly recommends it over WAV, which for me has proven best. Also does anyone know of a firewire input dac? I have many Macs but am using a Windows XP music server, which you all know is so awkward to use that it drives you crazy. |
Tbg - Max and WAV are two very different things altogether. WAV is the file format for uncompressed PCM audio (for PC), the Mac equivalent of which is AIFF. Max on the other hand is a Mac application, used for such tasks as secure ripping and transcoding. You would thus be comparing Max (Mac) to EAC (Windows) in terms of apps; or AIFF to WAV in terms of formats. |
