New version (0.22) available
here. The URL for
here changed!
This version renamed BetterSound to BitPerfect to avoid any confusion with the preferences pane plug-in. I'm going with the BitPerfect name since it hasn't been taken and is the term used by audiophiles to describe what they want their player to be or to do. There's also a new e-mail address, bitperfectsound@gmail.com.
Changes Include:
- Rename to BitPerfect
- Add new app icons (thanks Doug!)
- Make status icon reflect the enabled/disabled state of BitPerfect
- Do not write audio into unused streams on complex DACs
- Make gapless playback more ironclad
- Fix incorrect output stream use on "complex" DACs
- Fix support for DACs with more than 2 output channels
- Fix constant replaying of same audio clip when update track position is disabled
- Fix use maximum device buffer size not doing anything
- Fix intermittent blip in audio when switching playback buffer
- Fix gapless playback not being anywhere near gapless
I'm hoping to submit this version to the app store, barring any major problems. If so, further updates will be via the store, hopefully pretty frequently unless Apple get in the way. I'm pretty sure the Mac App Store lets me create promo codes so that I can give away free copies to everyone who has helped get BitPerfect this far. That means, bug reporters, Doug the graphics guru, feature suggesters, folks offering encouragement, reviewers, etc... a pretty loose definition of help -- I want to get free copies to as many of my fellow head-fi'ers as possible
. Depending on how many codes they let me create I'll also do a giveaway thread if/when the app is accepted.
Thanks for all your help and keep the feedback coming!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, this version fixes support for "complex" DACs. As far as I know, BitPerfect should now work on all DACs.
