![]() it’s sounds amazing.ĭoes anyone else have experience with BitPerfect? I have other components fed into the SMSL and CA but this combo right now is my preferred path. My system chain for this digital path is: iMac using iTunes with BitPerfect -> SMSL SU-8 dac -> Cambridge Audio CXA 80 via balanced cables -> NHT C3s and Hsu Research ULS-15 mk2. But it does what its supposed to do very very well. It won’t help you improve sound output from any other source on the computer. it is purpose built and that is its strength and weakness. A downside is that it only interacts with iTunes. I know there are many other player options out there that are very capable, but for me this is a magical $10, doing far more than what I expected. It has a lot of different capabilities including playing ‘hybrid-dsd’ flies in iTunes, which lets iTunes functionally play DSD (something it normally can’t do). I’ve only tested lossless 16/44.1 up to 24/96 tracks this way, so I can’t comment on its effects on lower resolution aac or mp3. In my experience there is an immediate and not-so-subtle increase in coherence, timing, and overall clarity when using BitPerfect as opposed to iTunes native output. I have about 200 CDs ripped to Apple Lossless and have an old iMac lying around that I decided to dedicate to music full time. The software is BitPerfect, and it is built to improve sound output from iTunes on a Mac. ![]() I don’t think it’s exactly unknown, but it also doesn’t appear to be common knowledge (at least it took me a little digging and time before I learned of it). But a recent software addition to the chain may have made one of the largest improvements in sound quality that I’ve experienced so far so I wanted to share thoughts about it. ![]() I’ve built up a decent system that sounds fantastic to me, detailed below.
