Doesn't sound a juicy as I had hoped.   Thanks so much for passing along the translation!

Has anyone translated the developer menu on the AK240 yet?  I really wish they'd make an SDK of some kind.     As seen here:  http://d.pr/i/KAUs   You can get to it by going to Settings->System Information and tapping on "Model Number" 5-7 times.

Back to answer my own question...   Here's what I was missing.  Apparently when a Non-Mixable physical format is listed, a virtual non-mixable integer format is listed as well based on what i've been reading the last few hours.  I'll have to find a DAC that supports this and give it a shot...

Sorry for the bogus reply, I just thought it was funny.  Two shirtless guys chatting it up on Head-fi.  

I'm going to mainly speak in the context of the Mac in this post.   So, once upon a time (maybe a year ago?) I downloaded the then-GPL source to Audirvana.  It just so happens that I still have it handy.  I wanted to add integer-mode to my own player this evening since I see it discussed...

After reading the sample introduction page it seems suspect.  Its going to have you going through your system disabling things that are actually useful, and might actually make a difference if you're on a fairly old machine.  I'd also put money on this content being available all over the...

http://d.pr/i/rUlG   What do you think about an interface like that?  Imagine it slides out to the side and has your various libraries (iTunes, directories, spotify, etc) in there.

Thanks so much for the feedback!  See comments below...         Interesting re the difference in Sound.  I haven't noticed that.  Many of the other players I can hear some distinctions between them, but Fidelia sounds identical to me using a Benchmark HDR.  Granted, I don't have any...

You've actually got quite a few to choose from.   Here's the ones I know about.   Decibel (http://sbooth.org/Decibel/) Fidelia (http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/fidelia/) - i think this one is pretty buggy, but other people seem to like it. Sonora (http://getsonora.com) Vox...

Heya guys,   I finally got most things put back together.   Here's the latest build: http://d.pr/f/3EUm   It now supports various additional file formats (.flac, .mod, .ogg, etc) as well as gapless playback.  I've got to rewrite how it plays from external USB devices still, but...

Quote:   Thanks for this.  Your suggestion on gapless got me thinking, and I went back and looked at SFBAudioEngine.  I picked up Dark Side of the Moon to test with (great album so far, not sure why i hadn't listened to it before), but between Track2->Track3 it was extremely obvious what...

Thanks for that, and the test case.  Admittedly, I hadn't thought of that at all.  Know of a player on the mac offhand that does this properly?  I tunes says it support gapless iirc.

Thanks so much for the kind words and all the great feedback, I really appreciate that.   Great idea re color wheel!

Quote:   Its for OS X only.  I swore off Microsoft when I left OQO way back when (I wrote their video drivers/system stuff) and have tried to not mess with it since.  Not a dig at Microsoft, just for me things were greener elsewhere.  I don't plan on having multiple themes, maybe color...

Quote:   Thanks!   I think its pretty good progress so far as well.  It does what I need it to at this point, even if it still needs alot of work.  I ended up using a library by a guy named Kok Chen who used to work at Apple.  Its pretty nice compared to many of the other wrappers...

Thanks a ton for the feedback guys.  I think you're right re the multiple formats.  I just got started digging into flac a little earlier.  Playing back things core audio supports is pretty easy and very different from playing a non-native format.  I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes.  Any...

After doing some reading, i think the question re FLAC support may be answered as a 'yes' thanks to the "How many songs are in your library" thread here.  Seems people are moving to that instead of worrying about iTunes compatibility.

EDIT: I originally posted this in the wrong forum I think, so reposting it here.     Heya head-fi'ers,   I've been lurking here for a year or so now and just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the information, opinions, help, advice, etc.  This is one of my favorite sites and...
