#Installing bitperfect pro#
Secondly, with an MBox Pro (which has a nice A/D converter) and Genelec 8020s, my musical listening experience has been completely changed with this little app. I really should've been importing this stuff into my DAWs to hear it! First, I had no idea iTunes screwed THAT much with the sound of audio files! It's kind of scary that most of my audio experience when trying to A/B was from within iTunes. I thought of mentioning this here for 2 reasons. I can really hear the depth of the mix, the panning is 100000% more clear and the whole thing just seems to be more airy, less muddy, and just, well, clear! This is specially true when the orchestra is playing tutti! Again, UNBELIEVABLY more clear than regular old iTunes. Now I just queued up John Powell's "How to Train Your Dragon". It's not even funny! It was like I was hearing an entirely different mix from my Genelec 8020s! The panning was incredibly clear, the sound un-muddied, the recording amazingly pristine! I had an ear-to-ear grin for a whole 5 minutes! Now I hope this can express my exact reaction.
Ok, so after installing the thing and seeing that it recognized my Mbox Pro, I booted up iTunes and clicked on a random tune (my first test was a lossless file tune by Aaron Parks, "Nemesis" - jazz quartet- just a good reference recording that I'm used to listening on iTunes).

I was a little skeptical, but it was like 5 bucks so I thought, why the hell not? Of course I had no idea just how much iTunes' internal EQ screws around with the audio, I just figured I'd get it for the FLAC support (I really think the only thing I miss on a Mac since switching from PC has been Foobar2000 player, I loved that thing). It was a PITA checking and re checking every tool and questioning every step of the way.So I just ran into this app today. I did not test any ULTRA HD (24 96+) tracks. Compilation CDs, EPs and Albums and the multiple release versions of tracks make it diffcult to find the right one to compare to. Note that I had to try three different tracks to get a match. You can convert existing FLACs to Wav with Foobar2000 with a right click(Check option Dither=Never) If Frhed finds a match then the track Amazon played is an exact copy of your original ripped one and the complete path from Amazon to your Audio Input device is bit perfect. Then open the ripped file in Frhed and press CTRL + F, paste in the bytes and click search. I used Frhed to mark a few hundred bytes in the middle of the track, CTRL + F, copy the marked bytes. Hit Record then play the track in Amazon Music.Ĭompare the known Wav file to the ripped one with a hex editor - Frhed (FRee Hex EDitor). Start RecPCM Win and select the Input device, setting dwChannelMask if it complains with an error. If using the Virtual Cable then set the internal sampling rate to 44100 with the VBCABLE_ControlPanel(Not sure if this is needed) If the test is sucessful then you should get bit perfect from Amazon Music HDĬonfigure the Input and Output devices as in the guide above. Use WasapiBitmatchChecker to send 1 million PCM frames between your input and output devices, setting the dwChannelMask if you get a "recording setup error"

I also used some free tools from yamamoto2002 - WasapiBitmatchChecker 1.0.8.0, PlayPCMWin 5.0.84.0 and RecPCMWin 1.0.35.3(included with PlayPCMWin program folder)įirst step is to test if your Output and Input (Virtual Cable or miniStreamer) are bitperfect. The other device being free VB-Audio Virtual Cable which provides bit perfect virtual input and output devices joined together. A miniDSP miniStreamer (USB board with SPDIF output and input) with a input and output connected with a cable. I confirmed by comparing the bytes (samples) in a known good WAV rip from my CD collection and the WAV ripped from some tracks from Amazon music. Notice how Quality, Capability and Playing are all 16 bit / 44.1 kHz Don't skip this step.Ĭliick the speaker icon and select the output device and set the Exclusive mode slider to ON Ĭlick on the icon beside the track controls. Go back and select output device > some other device not the one you want to use with Amazon Music.

Right click windows speaker icon > Open sound settings > Select output device > Device properties > Additional device properties > Advanced > Set default format to 0 Hz HD 16 Bits 44100 Hz tested and confirmed.
