media player for mac.

I haven't tried any media players yet but the first I'm going to try is BitPerfect.
It seems to be the least intrusive, retaining the 'look' of iTunes but handles the music end well (check out their blog from the designer).
You can get it directly from the iTunes app store.

If anyone knows why it should be avoided, I'd like to know.

I just downloaded BiPerfect and it's.......perfect.
Playing through the Centrance DACmini is kind of a revelation,
of sorts, in a way, whatever.
It's never sounded so good.

It's also the first time I've had tons of visual clues hitting me all at once, continuously, accompanied by some slight shifts in location, tone, etc., like it was righting itself.

Best $5 tweak I've ever done.
This is fun.

Here is the site for BitPerfect:

For some reason I can't get it to come up at the iTunes app store.
Just click on 'Purchase' in the main title and it will take you there.
I believe it only works on Macs.

Enjoy

Erndog,

The Apple Store should have it right when they say you need OS X 10.6.6 or later. You can double check at the designer's link above.

Bpopman,

No, sorry, it doesn't work with AirPlay. But it will respond to my iPod Touch as a remote using the built in AirPlay from my iMac.

And yes, it sounds great. At least to my ears.

All the best,

Gmahler2u,

I don't select buffer size or upsampling size. I'm under the impression that it's done automatically. If there is a provision for further tweaks, I haven't done any yet.

As for the "tick, tick, tick" sound you are getting, I am a total loss. I believe you should email the designer and ask him. He is very good at responding and should know what to do. Two emails that I sent him were answered within 10 minutes (I must have caught him while at work).

All the best,
Nonoise

Great to hear!
Its one thing to read his blog and see how he fixed and made adjustments based on feedback from actual users in order to refine his product.
Now this. He is one pro-active designer.

All the best,
