Superdad Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Indeed, to those of you had tried A+ in the past and settled on some other s/w for Mac playback, I urge you to give version 1.4.6 a spin. Use "integer Mode 1" and the iZotope upsampling engine (set to "Powers of 2" upsampling). It may be hard to go back after that. I have a great system, but A+ has been a total game changer for me.

untangle Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well done and well deserved. Keep up the good work, Damien. Looking forward to the plug-in support: Papa needs some digital room correction. --David Even support for a single AU (at a time) would be a huge plus for a great player. Consolation prize: 5-band (or more) PEQ. Bob Link to comment
Bob Stern Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 @Bob (untangle): All programs I've seen that support AU plugins support multiple plugins, so I presume A+ 1.5 will too. To get N-band PEQ, you can cascade N instances of a 1-band PEQ plugin, such as the one built into OS X.

elcorso Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 He only calls me "Prof." when I am in trouble. I'm trying to learn English abbreviations, Professor. For example, sometimes is hard to me to follow: BTW, BS, WTF, FYEO, etc. etc. If I translate this to my mom (still alive) she could punish me. I was also (years light ago) a Professor, for Financial Analysis in the U.C.R. (my country main state university), and I was very proud when my students called me "Profe", the abbreviation for an "Profesor" in Spanish. Now I'm only a humble Bonsai Master, or trying to be..., but please don't call me Ma! For the record, I am a HUGE Audirvana fan. I have no doubt about. Who couldn't be? Best, Roch PS/ My other problem is to follow (North) American jokes, since our (latin) sense of humor also differ. Link to comment

Frans Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hello Damien, Since 1.4.5 I'm a big fan, and now with 1.4.6 it's even better. Congrads! Link to comment
duartisimo1979 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Great product!! if only because i see it playing a Pearl Jam record!!! I'm pretty sure it's great, though. Link to comment
Peta Guy Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Forgive my ignorance of mac things. This player appears to be software and the picture looks like a specialised piece of equipment. What is the picture of? Is it a special device that houses a Mac? My system is totally unsuitable for my needs. This remains true every time I change it. Link to comment
