Would be awesome if we can get some more votes: bump! :)

Yeah, let's get some more votes. :-)   BTW: I've changed my vote from the LCD 2-r1 to LCD2-r2 because they sound so much better!   Quote:

bump, bump, bump! Bumppppp! :-)

Christmas Bump... :-)

Any news so far?   Quote:

Sorry, "so" not "tough".   If a signal is modified it is not bitperfect anymore. If iTunes + Amarra sounds better to you than just iTunes, either iTunes modifies the signal so it's not bitperfect or Amarra has some build in equalizer that modifies the signal so it's not bitperfect anymore...

The points you mentioned may be true. But you can't argue with a better quality through Audirvana as from iTunes because iTunes already delivers a bitperfect signal. The only thing Audirvana (and all the other apps) do is Sample Rate switching and USB buffering.   If you use iTunes at 100%...

On my setup (Mac (USB) -> audiolab m-dac -> Headphones) iTunes gives a bitperfect signal. So there is absolutely no need for a software like Audirvana because iTunes does give a absolutely perfect signal trough USB to the DAC. This is the most "natural" way you can imagine.   Audirvana...

No, if a software (iTunes) gives a bitperfect signal it's the signal identical to the original signal. Then you don't need any software.   What you mean is an Equalizer which will modify the signal to make high / low frequencies louder. For some this might sound better, but it's not the...

Fidelia: "Data is accurate" tough BitPerfect.   Audirvana: "Data is accurate", BitPerfect.   Amarra: "Data is accurate", BitPerfect.   I think they all give a BitPerfect signal tough they sound absolutely identical.

Moarrrr votes!

This is a thread about iTunes and "Audiophile" programs. I said iTunes does give a bitperfect signal. Some here in this thread think it doesn't.   For sure one can upgrade to a better DAC / AMP but every hardware will get the same bitperfect signal from iTunes. What the piece of hardware...

You select the BitPerfect test in audiolab m-dac's menu. It asks you to play a file you can download here: http://wikkii.org/wiki/M-DAC   I connected the m-dac with some very cheap USB cable to my Mac and launched iTunes, started the BitPerfect test on the m-dac and started playing the...

Who ever said iTunes does not give a bitperfect audio signal is a liar.   I tested it with both iTunes and VLC and both players give a bitperfect signal. (Volume maxed, no EQ, etc.).   Tested with audiolab m-dac's Bitperfect test.   Don't buy any of these "audiophile" programs like...

We need more votes!

Looks like the T1 are the favorite headphones. Never thought that the T1 would win...

.. no harddrive has enough space for your music collection.   .. your iTunes Library.xml is bigger than 1GB.   .. you could play your music library over a year without playing a track twice.   .. you backup your music library every day multiple times.   .. you store the backup...

I do. I can both adjust the volume of the line out and the headphone out by using the volume knob   Quote:

I used a lot of classical tracks from artists like Ludovico Einaudi, Zoe Keating, Niels Frahm, Yiruma or Helen Jane Long. But there was absolutely no noticeable difference.

Hey there.   Here comes my current setup: Mac -> Audinst HUD-MX1 (DAC + AMP) -> Audeze LCD-2r2   Now I bought an Violectric V200 so the new setup looks like the following: Mac -> Audinst HUD-MX1 (DAC) -> V200 (AMP) -> Audeze LCD-2r2   But: I can't notice ANY difference between...

Thank you so much for your help.   What will the V800 do better than the HUD-MX1? Overall improvent of sound quality?

Quote:   I just ordered an Violectric V200 but for now my only DAC is the HUD-MX1.   Do you think the V200 + HUD-MX1 will improve anything compared to just the HUD-MX1 as an DAC + HP amp or do I need to get an V800 for any improvement?
