I can hear more high-frequencies too, but in my system, it's a tad too much.
I posted either in this thread or another one about a better defined bass and clearer mid-range. It appears it does sound better, at least in my system.
#AUDIRVANA 2 UPGRADE#
Why ditch a system supported by the world's biggest, most innovative tech firm-the one that makes the hardware we run it on for maximum compatibility and an insured upgrade path-that pours unlimited resources and an army of the best designers and programmers into maintaining it, in favor of a player that's built and maintained by one guy with a day job who lives across the Atlantic? Is the reason because it sounds better on its own than it does piggybacked to iTunes? Or just because A+2 sounds terrific, as never ever before, on my system? because I live on the same side of the Atlantic as Damien? I had to, in order to sync music to my iPod/iPhone/iPad?īecause 'till a couple of years ago I was too lazy to maintain two separate libraries, one for my hifi rig and one for everything else? Why? I mean, why replace a system that we've invested untold hours cataloguing our music in and has changed how we listen to music, improving our lives in the process?

(my tags did work even there, though)īecause I could never stand that shopping mall multipurpose monstrosity Apple turned SoundJam into?īecause only reason I ever used iTunes is. Interesting with 2.04 mode 1 is now my favourite and loving the sound. In my system mode 1 sounded way too bright compared to mode 2. I think from memory mode 2 was legacy in 1.4 to previous versions. Apart from of a couple albums that I had to re rip or go back to original downloads my 2.04 music stored seperately from itunes is working well.
Loving not having to drag an drop to 1.4 from itunes with 2.04's library management. To my ears 1.4 sounded much better in stand alone rather than with itunes integration.
