You're right. In the above test I was using:
Devialet 200/Firmware 7.1.1/AIR 2.1.2
2011 MacBook Air running latest Mavericks
No iTunes - just direct to Audivarna Plus 1.5.12 (trial version). If I use iTunes instead of Audivarna, it was 11.3.1. VLC was 2.1.5.
VLC/iTunes both sounded poorer to me than Audivarna. This is with Bit Perfect & 24/96 set on AIR in all cases.
