guys I discovered this last week and im amazed
this is a sorta hidden setting that makes itunes sound A LOT better
*this is on windows*
im a sucker for audio and hi-fi equipment and such, make sure you have a decent headphone tho to see the difference
go to your itunes preferences, click playback, go to play audio using, and change direct sound to windows audio session. Click on and close itunes.
AND PLEASE make sure the rest of the options at the top, on the playback section, are DISABLED.
Thats it. Go listen to your songs.

Quote:
Windows Audio Session (WASAPI), gives you "bit perfect playback", this means it should not be altered in anyway throughout the stream - so the sound you get, in theory shouldn't be resampled or otherwise altered in any way.
DirectSound is the most common method of audio transport used by the Windows operating system and is the default for all media players, regardless of OS versions. for XP but should be avoided in Vista/Windows 7 as it creates quite significant extra distortion in these later OS - Windows Vista/Windows 7 both support Windows Audio Session Application Programming Interface (WASAPI) as an output method.
