I know it is an endless topic, but ... after having installed 10.6.8, and tried it with a hub (only way to avoid the cracks), I find the sound much better in "not integer mode". It is clearer, less constraint and more precise. Could it be linked to the way the ARCAM works ?

I Have a ARCAM rDAC that does not support the integer mode because of "ticking noise" that would come from Apple software. But besides that I could not hear any quality difference between integer "on" and "off". Does the rDAC handle it ? Do I miss something ? What does this "integer" mean? all mysteries to me.

I am totally happy with the 0.9a version, that worked out-of-the-box excepted the noise ticking with the integer mode. The look is terrific, I do not care about volume this is how it should be for an audiophile soft connected to an external ampli. Since I did not see it mentioned: you can drag and drop from iTunes into the Audirvana playlist, it works perfectly well. If I may suggest something, go deeper in the software-audiophile aspect and let the usual frills down as it is. Yeepeeee !
