So, if youve started with a lossless copy and then moved to the cloud, Apple has kindly down-sampled and down-graded your software. Trouble is, these cloud-resident copies will not be lossless (think they are AAC, not sure which bitrate). Fine, sounds super, in typical Apple faux-helpfulness mode. I understand that there is a new feature in iTunes that basically moves all of your stuff onto the cloud so that all accounts have access to the same library.
The more sticky question may be why iTunes has apparently substituted things that you previously had local copies of (presumably lossless local copies ripped from CD, for example) with the cloud copies. Think it is supposed to hand playback back to iTunes when it encounters one - so that it can actually go - but in my experience, it just won't play the DRM stuff.
This third point, DRM, is where you can run afoul of BitPerfect, as it can't handle DRM material. Far as I understand it, yes - if you're getting the dreaded cloud icon beside a track, that means that iTunes is convinced it is not a local copy but resident off in Apple's proprietary ether and: (a) it is streaming it from this wherever, (b) it is NOT lossless, and (c) it very well may be further polluted by Apple's digital rights management (DRM) scheme. Still trying to dial much of it in as well. Since I have accrued some credit, seems also I deserve the blame The new version of iTunes is definitely a pain in the ass. With Antelope Zodiac you will certainly be able to verify. There will be no difference in sound quality, something you can verify if your system is a highly resolving system. Then press "Start" at bottom of box.Ĥ) you can use the remote app on iPad to now play flac files just as if they were wav/aiff/mp3/mp4 files.
Clicking on this will lead to a box where you can drag and drop flac files. Then may be you need to quit and restart, use command+tab to switch to Audirvana Plus, then in same menu you will see "Add files to iTunes" option. This is to guarantee bitperfect feed.ģ) For playing FLAC files, in Audirvana Plus menu, switch to iTunes integrated mode. Else the PC output gets digitally altered.Ģ) Audirvana includes settings where iTunes engine including volume control and the identification of the time that the track has played till is disabled.
The Audirvana manual explains the importance of bit perfect feed to DAC, which can be only guaranteed if you keep volume at 100%. 1) I use headless mac mini and play Audirvana.
