If all that is true, then why bother paying the upcharge? Any version of BT I've come across has been absolutely dire, whether it be an MBP, IPhone, PC, TV w/ headphones or in ear's. Quite a few of my headphones are jack / BT so it's easy to test. I've not tried a BT 5.0 device but I have several 4.2 and earlier headphones, sorry but I draw the line at BT and if one cannot tell how much it degrades things then audio quality is irrelevant. It is very convenient though.. Fortunately if you live in the Apple world there's of course a dongle for that, lightning port to minijack / USB etc. and they don't cost that much. Why bother? Well if I'm in the mood to listen to music as opposed to it being a distraction from monotonous tasks I'll use my MBP whilst surfing or I'll wire my IPhone to a minijack, sure an IPhone doesn't exactly have the best conversion comparative to a studio DAC but for me it gets the message across. Apparently you can get upgraded DAC's as part of the lightening to 3.5mm adapter on IPhone's, hmm learn something new every day..

Again, MiFT or ADM files have NOTHING to do with how you make it. All it is is a 24 bit file, any sample rate(prefered the orginal rate the content was recorded at) and then run through Apples droplet to check for clipping and intersample clipping after an AAC conversion from a wav file. That is it. There is not magic anything else to get a ADM file made or a ADM brand on your music. I'm an ADM certified mastering engineer, there is nothing to getting certified at all. Just a request and then follow the process. Then you have to use the mastering engineer's email to get the certification and the distributors check it with apple. If you're on the list and I signed off on it, it get the ADM brand on it. It's pretty simple. So as long as you master something and it doesn't clip, it can be a ADM. You can do anything else you want, limit the crap out of it, leave it dynamic, whatever. You can read about it here: www.apple.com/itunes/mastered-for-itunes/

One odd thing…I’ve purchased major label releases that are labeled apple digital masters that fail the clipping test.
