To all Pure Music software users, have you upgraded to version 1.8?  Opinions?

I upgraded some tome ago, and feel it's just better across the board in my setup.

Pure Music 1.8a is the best I've ever heard it, or heard from any software player.  The ability to play in nonmixable integer streams (bypasses Mac's core audio floating point math) makes it a sublime experience.  Note: only certain DACs are capable of integer support and it is dicussed at length on Computer Audiophile and somewhat on the Asylum.   My Antelope Gold is, obviously, one of them.

Another +1 for 1.8a.

Another +1 for 1.8a.

Agreed. It is a solid software package that sounds excellent and has some nice features. It's upsampling feature sounds really good.

I'm still running into the occasional bug where I'll go to play an album and it won't cue up, but am working through this. I'm pretty sure it is because of the limited RAM on my machine. I think it is good to have at least 3-4 GB RAM. My machine only has 2 and cannot accept any more.

Best software package I have tried so far, that works with iTunes.
