It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

It was FLAC - I may not be converting FLAC's to WAV's so much anymore - we'll see

Since I'm using the exaSound ASIO driver right now, I can only use HQ Player. With ASIO, HQ Player seems a bit happier playing FLAC's so far. (I'm talking about multi-channel here - but OTOH this may be just a mistaken first impression on my part.) More of the history of my experiences with my new exaSound e38 is posted over on Digital Drive here on AA (link below). The exaSound SW provides for easy switching between core audio and ASIO, but, for some reason, it's not so easy for me. . . yet. I plan to talk with George at exaSound support later this week - he says switching between ASIO and Core Audio SHOULD be easy.

BTW, I think iTunes supports AIFF files up to 192K just by itself IIRC - no plug-in needed. You just set your parameters on Audio MIDI Setup in the Applications -> Utilities folder. However, iTunes doesn't support multi-channel, so that's why I'm also using Audirvana+ (which has a nice interface with iTunes) and HQ Player. But Audirvana+ doesn't support ASIO (which has certain advantages compared to Apple's Core Audio), so, for right now, if I want to use ASIO, I have to use HQ Player. To add further complication, the new version of Audirvana+ supports MQA. (I can just see some listeners here shaking their heads - LOL!) The 2L site has some MQA downloads available which I might want to try.
