How many dedicated DACs are in your household?
I think it would be interesting to know how many dedicated DACs (not including iPods, laptops, etc., of course) people here have in their homes, as well as how many DACs they've owned in their lives. Any quantitative data (and qualitative impressions, too) are welcome!- goldmbe

Fidelia 1.2.0 beta 2 with Headphone DSP Module and Memory Play
I noticed that Fidelia 1.2.0b2 was released several days ago and has some neat new features like a 64 bit playback engine, an option to load entire files in memory before playback, and a headphone module that allows setting of crossfeed levels and speaker angle to increase soundstage. Using the...- goldmbe

BitPerfect (was: Audirvana Alternatives)
@agentsim: Is there any chance of creating a plugin architecture for BitPerfect? There is one AU plugin in particular (Redline Monitor) that I would love to be able to use with your program.- goldmbe

why preamp?
Sorry to revive an old thread. I'm wondering about inserting a Little Dot MKIVse to be used as a preamp only between my LD DAC_I and MKVII+ headphone amp - specifically, would this add a more tube-like quality to the sound through my LCD-2's? Also, would there be any problems with this approach...- goldmbe

BitPerfect (was: Audirvana Alternatives)
It works perfectly for me. I haven't even had any difficulty with BetterSound crashing when editing album metadata and artwork during playback, an problem which appeared in previous versions for me. Sounds great too, better than 0.16 if I remember correctly.- goldmbe

Yes, that would actually be very useful. So, BetterSound could continue to run but I would be able to choose when it would hog my output device and when it wouldn't, correct?- goldmbe

agentsim, I cannot get integer mode to work at all. BetterSound hangs whenever the integer mode box is checked and I try to play a track. I have to manually force quit in Activity Monitor. If you want the device info I'll PM it to you.- goldmbe

Thank you, agentsim! It's great that you're making BetterSound compatible with FLAC. Although most of my files are Apple Lossless, I do have a significant number of FLACs that I haven't got around to converting with XLD yet. My LD DAC_I only seems to run in integer mode when...- goldmbe
