In Reply to: What does Pure Music® do? posted by Sumflow on June 6, 2012 at 12:12:31:
In a nutshell, it bypasses Apple's Core Audio, using it's own Pure Music audio engine for higher quality audio.
You can set various options in it for upsampling or not. You can have it pre-load your music into system memory so it's not accessing the disk drive during playback. It will handle FLAC files if you wish, as iTunes alone will not handle FLAC.
It works in conjunction with iTunes, using iTunes to manage your music library and playlists, but rather than use Apple's Core Audio, it uses it's own Pure Music audio engine.
Other than that, you can read about ALL of it's functionality at the web link you provided.
I do know that it makes my system sound better.
