Audirvana Plus vs. BitPerfect vs. Thread starter Yuceka Start date Jul 5, Tags computer-audio. Joined Aug 15, Posts 1, Likes Joined Jul 14, Posts 1 Likes 0. I am not familiar with Fidelia.
I have BitPerfect and Audirvana. Audirvana wins hands down and very well worth the money. PyekiM New Head-Fier. Joined Jul 16, Posts 21 Likes I just stared using BitPerfect today with iTunes.
I think it’s helping a little. Kind of reminds of the time my friend bought a “magic pen” to trace on the edges of compact discs to improve the sound. It’s like I think I hear a slight improvement, but if it wasn’t on, I might not notice. Fidelia seems pretty cool if you’re craving the higher bit rates. Joined Jun 21, Posts 33 Likes I don’t have any interest in BitPerfect because iTunes is crashes my mac constantly, but I’m taking a look at the other two and would also be very interested to know what others think about them.
Joined Nov 11, Posts 2, Likes I listened to them all at one point or the other. My Preference is for Audirvana Plus because it sounds the best and seems to have a brilliant designer who is always adding good things like direct and integer mode and it just seems to work well.
I just downloaded the Audirvana 15 day trial. So far, so good! BitPerfect added a harshness in the highest end of treble. I read a reviewer refer to it as “Digital Glare”. Also, I tweaked it a bit and it was causing some crashes with my Mac. I don’t blame BitPerfect for that, I was the one messing with settings. Anywho, so far Audirvana is sounding good. I like that it’s integrated with iTunes.
I’m too lazy to start a new library. I may try Pure Music next. Joined Sep 25, Posts Likes Out of these three players, Fidelia sounds the best to me. Joined Sep 19, Posts 84 Likes Joined Feb 6, Posts Likes Fidelia works well with headphones because of the FHX processor. The playlist allows header sorting but it doesn’t handle. Audirvana has a much better GUI, handles. The playlist could use some work but for speaker listening, I prefer Audirvana.
I haven’t compared the sound between them because they both sound good and I don’t care enough at this point to do it. I cant however compair to the others listed as to be fair this is the first ive heard of them when looking at this thread now lol. But for me I will say that Audirvana does what I need it too in a very good way Well worth the cost imo.
I’m trying Audirvana right now and I do notice a very slight improvement. It slows down iTunes massively, and often crashes or freezes. Changing the system optimizing settings doesn’t make things better. I’ve tried an earlier version and it was the same there.
Any advices? I’ll soon throw this crap away before it pisses me off completely.. As far as iTunes Integer mode goes, In the settings I have all iTunes controls etc switched off so that Audirvana only can control iTunes. Mine has been crashing from time to time recently, I have a hunch its memory based but I need to upgrade from my existing 2gb’s.
OckhamsRazor New Head-Fier. Joined Dec 2, Posts 22 Likes I really like all 3 programs, but, Fidelia with the FHX plug-in gets my vote. Joined Nov 5, Posts Likes I never satisfy with sound quality produced by iTunes’s decoder, thus has been looking for alternative media player. I want to have a media player independent of iTunes though able to access iTunes’s library files. I suppose iTunes 11 upgrade make the situation worst then before.
Thus any future upgrades of iTunes will affect their compatibilities. Sonic Studio studio does offer independent version of Amarra but it costs a lot more than Amarra HiFi.
Playlists in iTunes can be imported into these two players easily though new playlists can be created within the applications as well. Audirvana Plus has direct and integer modes and it bypasses Apple’s CoreAudio layer to present audio data in digital format directly to external DAC in purest form.
You don’t need additional audio effects provided by Apple CoreAudio as far as music appreciation is concerned unlike online game and movie.
To match bundled features of Audirvana Plus, Fidelia must be operated in advanced instead of basic mode additional USD 50 for plugin. In Audirvana Plus preference’s Audio System window, you can set size of memory buffer for Maximum memory allocated for tracks pre-load.
Make sure you set this parameter according to size of available memory on your Mac. Common sense dictates that you should not run too many applications simultaneously if the installed memory is small, in fact there are users dedicate a Mac mini as music server solely for running a media player application. According to what I have head so far, following is my rating of various media player applications: 1. Audirvana Plus USD 70 2.
Pure Music 4. Amarra HiFi 5. You must log in or register to reply here. Users who are viewing this thread. Total: 0 members: 0, guests: 0.

Who gets to claim that theirs is the most neutral? But, most of the management software packages you can choose from today, are also aware, they need to bring that streaming-service flexibility into their world along with it. Go Mifune , Dec 22, I thought that Pure Music had a very harsh sound compared to Ammara.

Is this a problem with BitPerfect, or is it true that the E17 is incapable of
