As far as media player independent of iTunes and performance/cost ratio are concerned, I am left with only two options: Fidelia or Audirvana Plus. Sonic Studio studio does offer independent version of Amarra but it costs a lot more than Amarra HiFi. Thus any future upgrades of iTunes will affect their compatibilities. BitPerfect, Pure Music and Amarra HiFi depend on iTunes for song selection/management and other controls to certain extend. I have purchased BitPerfect and basic mode of Fidelia and have performed trials with Pure Music and Amarra HiFi, right now I have been using trial version of Audirvana Plus for a week. I suppose iTunes 11 upgrade make the situation worst then before. iTunes has been rededicated to only synching iPhone 5 / iPad mini and ripping CDs. I want to have a media player independent of iTunes though able to access iTunes's library files. I never satisfy with sound quality produced by iTunes's decoder, thus has been looking for alternative media player.
