Changing output devices while Pure Music is running-say from my Weiss Firewire DAC to Burson's USB converter-is done from the Advanced Audio Setup -> Device Selection menu after which Pure Music quickly relaunches itself to make the switch. The main (left) bar can be set to 'basic' or 'advanced' modes absolute polarity can be inverted with a mouse click the 64-bit digital volume slider can be engaged or bypassed by being set to 0 attenuation and various sub menus can be accessed directly rather than from the Pure Music tool bar on the top.Īpple's remote control works even in memory for play/pause and last/next without having to launch a separate interface. If enabled, it will give visual confirmation of the played-back sample rate and confirm whether you play from disc or memory buffer. The upper bar with the ticker-tape title, metering, dynamic range indicator and such can be turned off have only selected items show or it can be docked in a different location. It thus does not play the same track simultaneously in iTunes to allow instant toggles back and forth as does Amarra.Īs the opening screen capture of my iMac shows, Pure Music adds itself to the iTunes display on the left edge. Pure Music embeds itself deeper in the host's OS. Gapless tracks in buffer mode play back truly gapless.Īlso, PureMusic does not operate iTunes in 'ghost mode', i.e. When you enable hybrid memory play in Pure Music Preferences-> Music Server Settings-> Basic, memory play begins to stream your selected album or playlist almost immediately whilst the buffer gets fully loaded. But a day after I installed Channel D's rather more affordable and altogether nicer interface and experienced its superior memory play feature, I permanently removed Amarra from my OSX dock. Then I upgraded to Amarra 2.1 still feeling strangely noncommittal. I bought Amarra 2 and ran with it for six indecisive months.
