I've used Audirvana for years, but less so over the last several months. I was surprised by the subscription business model and to learn that my current software is now a "legacy". As a long-time Tidal subscriber, I have no issues with subscriptions so long as there is performance value for the investment. The Studio download went fine and, though early days, I am very impressed with Studio over Plus.

I hope to have more to say on this down the road. Now, what I don't like is the vague support system which seems to rely on the "community". I preferred sending in a question and Damien, et al, responding. This is the Benchmark Audio support model which, for me, distinguishes real customer support from the community approach that is merely a convenience to the company.

I'm also concerned by comments relating to issues of compatibility with the MacBook. I haven't had any problems so far, but they would be a deal-breaker. So at this early stage I am really like using Studio and will gladly pay the subscription rate if no tedious software issues. Good job Audirvana. I have used Audirvana for years, with iTunes and Qobuz. The move to a subscriber model doesn't bother me.

But the pricing does, somewhat. Qobuz on its own provides significant value for me. Audirvana does not alone in comparison. So, if push comes to shove I'll ditch Audirvana. A shame. It's the pricing, not necessarily the subscription model that's the critical decision for developers, and their customers.

And the perceived value. Otherwise I use the Qobuz player for convenience. Thus the subscriber model can be costly. On the other hand. I have multiple Audirvana licenses to cover multiple machines that I use exclusively. If not, the monthly cost of using Audirvana across my machines would not be worth it. Good luck folks at Audirvana! Wunderhorn May 15 Looks like this is going to subscription-only.

Plus it allows real multitasking on the iPad while using it as the remote. Older remote app would have to reconnect to the laptop every time you went to another app. Now it immediately responds to the current song playing flashing new album art instantly. Love it! If you are interested in the ability to listen to your high quality sound sources as well as search through them Audirvana will address your needs.

Usability through the program directly or the iOS remote makes listening easy and enjoyable. Interfacing with Qobuz or Tidal is smoother and much more responsive than through the respective native apps.

Legacy Versions. How to fix the "Too Many Installations" Error? Streaming Services. Where can I download the Remote application? If you are on Windows 10, make sure you have version 3. How to stop music completely?

Technical Issues. Why can't Safari, Chrome or any other application play sound during playback? Otherwise you can use a third party software like AirFoil for doing that. I get one-second dropouts in the middle of a track. The main reason for this is memory swapping to disk, namely the audio buffer currently playing. This is due to insufficient memory available for storing the audio buffers.

Why don't I have sound after I enabled upsampling? To that, you have to add the cost of your music streaming subscription :. A nerdy guy with a passion for audio and gadgets, he likes to combine his DAC and his swiss knife. He likes spreadsheets, technical specs and all this amazing ly boring numbers. But most of all, he loves music: electro, classical, dubstep, Debussy : the daily playlist. A followup review by the author of, Audirvana Studio, working in conjunction with the Dirac Live 3 room-correction software would be greatly appreciated.

Then, I learned that Roon does not perform well that way. Once I learned how to deploy Roon properly, I found that it sounds as good or better than Audirvana, depending on the network bridge. Audirvana is a computer audio system.

Roon is a network audio system that can function as computer audio, albeit poorly. I enjoyed your review, but I wish you had provided more detail on how you set up Roon and compared an optimal Audirvana configuration to an optimal Roon installation. That would have put them on more even footing regarding sound quality.

You were spot on about other differences. I also use a macbook for the core, streaming to a pi with a hat. Everything is just better and more focused with Audirvana. I am open to most things mattering, but I find it to be strange if thats better.
