![]() Using BASS we are able to control where the processing takes place and how helpful / harmful it is. BASS handles file reading and decoding and sends it to Core Audio. BASS is known to be fast, clean and byte - transparent audio library. Currently we use BASS audio library to help manage data flow and control between player and Core Audio. In case of mp3, m4a, ALAC, AAC, WAV, AIFF, CA formats, files are decoded also by Core Audio. Files are decoded by their native decoders and Core Audio (Mac OS X audio engine) is used for playback. ![]() So as for technical information - the system is playing audio for us. And I am a sound engineer with 12 years of experience in live sound/studio. When data are sent to device which does not support 32-bit float sample format internally, these data will have to be converted to a supported sample format (typically, 24 -bit integer), and that's where bad things may come into play, however, that's only my assumption, for I am unable to hear the difference. That'd be bit-perfect playback up to 24 bits. ![]() If re-sampling required - we do it very gently, using 32-point sinc interpolation, and that may be avoided by Sample Rate Sync option. There's no hidden EQ or enhancing, we just decode file to 32-bit floating - point data and send it to system's device. Otherwise than this, it tries to keep audio path as clean and processing - free as possible. The answer is it does, but only if You enable it. Your question - does VOX introduce EFX/EQ. I asked my contact at Coppertino about the technical details of Vox and here is the relevant part of his response:
