Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me??


I'm just stunned what this application does for my Itunes database. Much more detail, good tonal balance and great soundstaging. And I don't even have an expensive rig or outboard DAC. I'm usb cabled from my Mac Mini direct into an Outlaw RR2150 receiver that has a usb input. I lied, I am using my VonSchweikert DB99 loudspeakers and they're now getting some frequencies to crank again.

thanks, their tech help is great too. i called them and they walked me thru the entire set up. the guy would not let up and quit at any point. major upgrade to my system. i would never have found this w/o audiogon and stereophile and the "get better sound" newsletter. john
i have been using pure music for 2 weeks and it is now purchased. didn,t even have to think twice about it. the sound quality is detailed, my emotive erc1 sounds darker in comparison and has me thinking of upgrading my wireworld violet usb from the mac to the vdac i am using.when using pure music i have to adjust my subwoofers to less volume. not exactly a review but these are my first impressions. i am interested to see how the new itunes radio feature and parametric eq will work.
update on my "problem" with computers
1. turned volume limiter off in midiaudio controls
2. changed bit from 16 to 24....my g4 doesn,t have 32 listed as an option
3. checked eq and my wonderful child had turned the eq on and boosted all the bass frequencies. ha. i knew there was some thing going on i didn,t like. maybe i can hear.......ha. more beatings til morale improves around here.
conclusion....now we are getting somewhere, progress is not an illusion. thanks for the directions
my g4 has 1 g and i thought pure m said to not use memory play unless one had 2g? i am really enjoying the sound quality but have to figure some use issues out. sometimes it plays the whole cd and other times one song and stops. i,m going to take the time and reread instructions. duh?!
i don,t think it is set up for itunes radio yet. but may be in the future. as i understand it works only with itunes library now. try turning itunes and pure music off then try your radio stations? i also read that 2g is recommended as the minimum for memory play. my problem is when i start reading computer guides the tech talk sort of makes my eyes glaze over. ha
i don,t know how much the pure music will help the sound of radio when they get that released. most radio stations i find at 126 to below 100 kbs. good for music but not critical listening. i am excited about computer audio. i also[at 58 years old] believe that learning never should end. so little time and so many interests.....ha
