AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[f1eng]

AIR 3.0 doesn't switch sample rate any more. When I play a 96/24 file with Air 3.0 it plays as 44/16 if I don't manually change the sample rate to 96/24 in Audio Midi setup, then if I play a 44/16 next it upsamples it to 96/24 unless, yet again, I manually correct it.
AIR 2.1 works as it should with the file being recognised and played at its correct sample rate.

I wonder if that is what has 'fixed' AIR.

They previously had some code to override the Audio MIDI settings and now they have taken it out.

Is this when playing through iTunes only? With Audirvana Plus 1.5.12 as long as I deselect Direct Mode and Integer mode in preferences it doesn't seem to have issues with changing bitrates. If I select those two options the music will just stop in between two tracks with different bitrates.

I have only tried using iTunes. The iTunes bit perfect option, which changes sample rate on the fly, seems to have been deleted entirely from 3.0 beta, certainly there is no longer an opportunity to select it in settings.
As I wrote in the earlier post I may try with one of the multiplicity of other bits of software I have, most of which switch sample rate themselves iirc.
Sadly they all are tedious to set up and some interfere with each other.
I used to use Amarra and it was incompatible with Air.
