Gang,
I design high end audio asynchronous usb dac hardware. A lot of
customers have found that iTunes while nice may not sound as good as
actually playing tracks in pro audio tools. The problem with Pro
Audio is one track at a time.
One of the reason's why iTunes does not sound as good is that iTunes
takes a snap shot of Audio Midi Setup for the device output in
question and resamples to that rate and bit size before it goes out.
So you may have a 44.1/16 bit track then a 24/96 track and they will
both be resampled to the rate specified in the Audio Midi setup.
The issues in iTunes that gave this a sub-optimal experience This is
an old issue in iTunes that has been addressed.
Other problems happen when users forget setting the volume control
to 100% and using eq and other sound altering options.
The nice thing about iTunes is there are a bunch of applications for
remote access and control as well as the ripping and burning
capabilities.
So I had an idea that maybe there was an interface for iTunes were
the sample and sample rate info was passed to a DLL or API for
processing that we could hijack the sample and out put it to a known
device as is without any processing and change the sample rate on
the fly. In return to iTunes we would pass the altered sample back
as a ZERO so when iTunes passed the sample onto the mixer that it
would not interfere or be output as anything.
Anything like that? Anyone interested in helping me out with this?
Thanks
Gordon
