When I deem BitPerfect ready, it will be sold (with Apple's blessing) via the Mac OSX App Store. I'll try to remember to post new version notifications here as well as on head-fi. You can read the history of BitPerfect's development (it was originally called BetterSound) at head-fi.įor the moment, updates are distributed through Google Docs.

If you run into any of these problems, feel free to point them out here, or e-mail me at It should work quite well for a lot of people, but not all hardware is supported and some hardware / system configurations might trigger odd behaviour. Support for high-res music (I've tested up to 24/176.4, I haven't got any higher-res tracks than that!)īitPerfect is still a beta quality product.

We're making bit-by-bit perfect copies of our music collection using a. BitPerfect strives to be the simplest possible iTunes driven audio player. BitPerfect does not have all the advanced features of PM or Amarra, nor any fancy UI - this is by design. It is designed to use sensible defaults out-of-the-box to minimize time spent fiddling to get the best settings. Though apparently Vista/Windows 7 doesnt really affect soundquality when volume is maxed out, but I still use it for the peace of mind much like I prefer to use FLACs over high bitrate MP3s even though I cant really hear the difference with reliable results. BitPerfect strives to be the simplest possible iTunes driven audio player. I personally use Foobar + ASIO and have Audio Creation and bit-matched enabled on my X-Fi when I solely listen to music. WASAPI exclusive mode, but only in the pull configuration (used in WMP iirc) is confirmed to be bit perfect, but this is useless because you won't be able to hear the difference.

BitPerfect is designed to be a simple audiophile quality iTunes 'plug-in' similar to Pure Music or Amarra. BitPerfect does not have all the advanced features of PM or Amarra, nor any fancy UI - this is by design. The resampler in Windows 7 is apparently of high enough quality to merit setting your sound card to the highest bit depth/sample rate upon playback. So asking which API is better without looking into individual product is pretty meaningless.I've noticed a few threads talking about BitPerfect, so I figured I should introduce myself and create a place for discussing features, bugs, questions, answers etc. Some older sound cards did digital post-processing (programmed in the driver) on the TOSLINK input (e.g., band-pass filtering) without notifying the user and without giving. in the capture is the same as what's stored on the digital medium (in this case, the digital track on an LD).

Some devices (especially pro audio interfaces) have additional onboard DSP and FPGA and they also require drivers to work, the drivers can override WASAPI behaviour as well. For this test, I have used my Forza Audioworks twin usb cable, with and without the iFi Power to clean the usb signal upstream I have used the Headamp AE-2 amplifier with Audio Technica AD2000, and a tweaked version of the Stax Srm-1 Mk2, with the srm-001 amplifier reworked and upgraded by head-fi member Audiocats. A ' bit perfect ' audio capture means that Every. connection to the DAC so I could send a Bit Perfect signal from my PC. ASIO drivers, unless the generic ones like ASIO4all, are distributed by individual hardware vendors, you can't assume they work all the same. Its well-equipped enough to slot effortlessly into any hi-fi or desktop system. In general, don't generalize things and assume one API is always better or worse than the others. One of them contains official information from Microsoft as well. I compared DS and WASAPI in the video.Īlso read the link from Microsoft I posted:Īnd read every link I posted in this thread.
