media player for mac.

decibel, pure music amarra, all which will sound better than iTunes. According to Stereophile, Decibel is the giant killer, for about $40.

PureMusic and Audirvana are a couple of suggestions. PureMusic interfaces with iTunes and Aurivana is a stand alone product. Both are terrific but suit different tastes.

My rough order of preference:

Fidelia -detail and dynamics, get the full version $79
Amarra - just feels good, too pricey
Decibel and Audirvana are tied.
Pure Music- this may rank much higher, honestly it has been awhile on this one. Bit perfect is in the middle somewhere- I haven't spent a lot of time with the newer versions.

Very interesting about Fidelia. I haven't heard of it before. Anybody else have experience with it relative to others?

Thanks, Peter

I use Fidelia, but the cheaper version, ($20). Works fine with a lovely interface. It just uses iTunes as your library but plays and converts if needed without any hiccups.

I also use BitPerfect. Even cheaper, ($5). But you retain the iTunes interface. The only issue with BitPerfect is that it's not Airplay compatible.
