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.

I've been using it for about a year. The memory play mode is awesome for me - have you tried that? It can take a while to pre-load songs (especially large high-res files) but for me it works wonders. It also helps keep network traffic from interrupting streaming (maybe beneficial from a jitter perspective?).

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?!

It is a bit buggy - but it sounds good enough that I can deal with the growing pains. I've also emailed with the developer, and he's very responsive/friendly/helpful. They release updates pretty often as well.

But yeah, I would guess 1 gig may be too little to effectively use memory play without straining your machine a bit.

I have it and absolutely love it. Sound improvement truly ranks with a major component upgrade in my experience. Highly recommended.
