Sorry, I don't agree. Lion and Mtn Lion sound better even without Integer.

Apple only officially supports the current and previous versions of OSX which gives us 10.7 and 10.8.
That said, there are a lot of people still on 10.6.8 because they can't run anything newer or they don't like what they see in 10.7. Anyway, some of the 10.6 problems are probably cpu related since I've got it working on one 10.6.8 machine but it crashes on another. I'm thinking it's got something to do with sse4.1 which was only available in Mac Mini's from about 2008 IIRC. I'm seeing a crash (I think) in cximage.
On the machine that it does run on, it plays fine but the windowing is goofy.

Agreed, not silly, but change, and evaporation of support for older releases are inevitable. There are methods for dealing with the integer issue. As an Amarra, Audirvana Plus, and Fidelia user, and now an Elyric Music Manager and JRiver Media Center user, I would rather be running Mountain Lion and finding a different solution to my quest for sonic virtue.

Here is a little trick that works for me on SL 10.6.8:
During my investigations, I found out that most of the graphical problems in SL seems to be caused by the web browser engine.
So the trick for using MC Mac with SL is to stay away from views that are using the web engine, mainly the start view.
Go to Tools -> Options -> Startup -> Location and set startup location to 'Audio' instead of Start.
Close and relaunch MC MAC.
This way when you start MC Mac you'll be in the Audio sections where most views Album, Artist, Panes, are working Ok.
It should allow you to explore most of MC Mac features under SL while the good folks at JRiver are working on a better solution for SL.
EDIT: and I did not notice any sound quality differences between 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 that I am using on different macs. But my ears might be on the oldish side!
have a good day,
Christian

I am aware of the whole integer etc. change, but can you *hear* it? If you can't then...
