it seems that there is a bit more depth feel to the music, almost as if the staging/imaging was altered somehow. but with that said, I certainly noticed a difference adding the DAC to the itunes match library.
Mini>itunes with bitperfect>D1 DAC>Onkyo TX-NR709 via analog input>2 Adcom GF555 amplifiers (bi-amped)>Martin Logan Accent I'sĪs was stated, everyone's level of hearing is different, and im certainly no expert, and probably have done damage to my ears from concerts, and years of loud car stereo. im very pleased with this setup for a smaller room, and a lower volume level. My office setup is mini>itunes with bitperfect>D1 DAC>Audioengine A2's. I recently gave the Audioengine D1 a try, and was very pleased, so much so that I got a 2nd for my other mini. I have 2 mini's I listen to music from, one in my office at home, and one in my family room.
MAKE ITUNES PLAY BITPERFECT DOWNLOAD
If not, you can always grab the S8 subwoofer later on down the line.Īnother thing you can do if you wish to stick to iTunes and not steal another $100 bucks out of your wallet for another music playback interface is to purchase and download an app from the App Store called BitPerfect. The A2s are great, but aren't exactly on par with the A5 series. Pair it with the Audioengine D1 and you are good to go. They are known for the famous A5/A5+ speakers. What's your budget? Are you planning on using a home theater system with this setup? Or just the computer? One company to look into for desktop speakers is Audioengine. The best thing to do in order to not lose any quality is to use lossless files and use an external DAC. The other thing to note on why lossless is important for high quality listening is because of the fact that it is CD-quality sound. Plus, most CDs are produced at 16-Bit/44.1KHz. Everyone's hearing range is different, so it really doesn't matter. Bit rate and sample rate allow for a larger frequency range. Even if you have lossless files, it will stream them in AAC format. I don't believe iTunes Match supports lossless codec. AAC can not be high quality as it is still a lossy format.
Apple Lossless is the best alternative for Apple OS users.
