![]() I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t trust any resampling algorithm I hadn’t written or at least tested myself. Watch a DVD, and the sound is getting resampled from 48 to 44.1. You can play 96kHz material till you’re blue in the face, using any player application you like, but if the system sample rate is set to 44.1, it’ll get downsampled. You set the sample rate and bit depth once and for all in the audio control panel, and all the sound gets resampled to that. Or at least the setup I used, Winamp Classic with the ASIO driver, would do that, guaranteeing bit-accurate output under all conditions. Third, Mac OS resamples! Windows was smart enough (or dumb enough?) to set your audio hardware to the actual sample rate and bit depth of the track that was currently playing. I guess they’d rather you bought their own stupid, overpriced DS network media players, even if you have a Mac already. They supply their music in FLAC and WMA formats only. Second, Linn don’t support Apple Lossless. Sure, VLC will play it, but VLC can’t understand iTunes playlists. A bummer, as I already had a fair amount of music in FLAC format. It won’t play FLAC (the open source Free Lossless Audio Codec) properly, even with the extensions, Fluke, or whatever. ![]() Everything went nicely until I got my new Mac.įirst of all, the only lossless format supported by iTunes is Apple Lossless. For example, the Studio Masters recordings from Linn Records, or the material from B&W Society Of Sound. Recently I’ve been experimenting with higher definition music downloads.
