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 have an iMac dedicated to music which I have loaded with AIR 3 beta, and a Macbook pro which still has AIR 2.1.3 on it. I have a few of the same files on both.

On comparison I think I prefer the SQ using AIR 3, it seems deeper and cleaner whilst just as clear. Having to remember to change sample rate is just another nail in the coffin of streaming for me though.
I also own Amarra, Audirvana, Pure Music, Pure Vinyl and several others so I will try them if I can be bothered with the faff of setting them up to not interfere with each other, and if I can remember which pref files need removing to do so .
Still finding CD and LP more convenient for classical music.
