Is BitPerfect usefull for me?


Recommended Posts

I bought BitPerfect, but my OSX is not capelble to play integers.

This is info when using BP. Is there any sense using BP in my situation?

Tim is working on an update which, as I understand, will allow the use of integer mode in Lion.

I'm using it in Lion and it sounds good to me.

Personally, I prefer to feed music to my DAC at the sample rate it was recorded / produced in, so I use BitPerfect even on my standalone MacBook Pro. I see no point in homogenizing all my music to 16 / 44 or whatever rate Audio MIDI is set to at the time - BitPerfect (and any of the other alternative OS X players) do automatic rate switching, and I appreciate that functionality whether I'm using integer mode or not.
