freesteve Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The update corrupted my HD and I needed to get the Apple Store to wipe the HD and install High Sierra directly from their hard copy. The tech informed me that Apple tried a new format that messed up quite a few computers. A real "P in the A. " However, the silver lining (perhaps platinum) is that since I have gotten all my software restored the music does have a much "sweeter sound." HQ player and Audirvana sound even better. HQ Player (#1) & Audrivana (#2) (wow! love the Apple w/music!!) .. these two software make my system "Amazing!", Purist USB- Benchmark DAC2 HGC (love it!), Purist Audio XLR , ATC SCM25A's (To Die For!) & Focal sub6 . Triode Power Cables with Uber Buss (Yes!) Also enjoy Audeze LCD3 w/"fat pipe cardas." Link to comment
wgscott Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Maybe the new Apple file system sounds better than HFS+. I wonder if you could hear a resource fork? Dr Tone 1 Link to comment
