This feature was removed by Apple during the Snow Leopard to Lion transition but Damien Plisson is getting ready to pounce and restore it.
Pure music vs audirvana upgrade#
From that perspective Audirvana is getting ready to throw a major punch with the upcoming release of an upgrade offering an even purer path through the deepest layers of OS X whilst restoring integer playback for Lion for those DACs which can support that mode. If hairsplitting is your thing, you can always download the free trial versions of either and decide for yourself. I doubt anybody would be unhappy with either and your choice can easily be steered by features and cost rather than major musical differences.
Depending on disc I like one or the other better. To keep it simple, Pure Music seems to offer slightly more depth and width with a tad more midrange emphasis and Audirvana slightly more resolution and ambiance retrieval. After all, the differences between two programs whose objective is to offer the purest path to audio playback should be minor at best but since their audio engines are different, it is possible to tease out minute nuances between them. I would actually be worried if it were any other way. Sonically I already indicated that Pure Music and Audirvana are more alike than different. All in all it is an easier program to use and delivers its magic without requiring any user effort.
His program thus seems to recover without any problem when an unwanted USB unplugging takes place.
Pure music vs audirvana movie#
Movie playback is utterly unaffected as this player only takes control of the audio path when music plays and otherwise releases it, kindly staying out of the way of other activities requiring sound.ĭamien Plisson indicated that he too has young children and therefore paid particular attention to the robustness of his protocols. I still have to see the computer or iTunes freeze up when Audirvana runs. Where the software truly separates itself in my mind is its stability and complete absence of glitches.
Pure music vs audirvana install#
Just install and enjoy (options are available but are just as well left alone for best performance). Most importantly Audirvana does most if not all background optimization for you and setup time is minimal. Feature-wise it offers automatic sample rate switching, memory play, DSD and FLAC support and the ability to operate without iTunes open. This is only true because both Pure Music and Audirvana deliver excellent musical performance with great ease and flow and minimal digital glare.įor now then my nod for playback software goes to Audirvana by a very faint margin. Otherwise the possible little operational glitches and added complexity make the extra money harder to rationalize.
