iZotope MBIT+โข Dither
iZotope’s MBIT+ dithering algorithm features psychoacoustic noise shaping based on research with actual musical material, making it the best sounding dither on the market. As our perception of the end result is the most important metric of quality, iZotope has built all of their models using real music โ not test tones, hisses, hums, bleeps, and buzzes. The result is the most musical and sonically pleasing dither available. Key features include control of noise shaping amount, autoblanking to disable dither during digital silence, control overall amount of dither introduced, specific models for 44.1kHz/96kHz/192kHz, psychoacoustic models based on extensive musical listening, and low-latency/processor-efficient operation designed for high performance, realtime environments.
Fidelia Remote
Fidelia for iOS turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a full-featured remote control for Audiofile Engineering’s powerful Fidelia music player. When your iOS device is connected to the same wireless network as a Mac running Fidelia, use it to browse your Fideliamusic library and playlists, adjust playback volume and navigate between or within tracks. Enjoy remote control access from across the room, between floors or as far away as your wireless network signal will allow.
