Ucr waitlist class of 2024īut leaves the following questions. Thanks bitracer! Makes sense and tallies with my observations. It would allow you to play to UPnP devices from Roon through your computer. So the purpose of two switches and three settings is still a bit of a mystery to me. Whatever it does it does not seem to influence whether the decoder in Audirvana is engaged or not. There are two relevant settings in Audirvana as far as I can see. €14.I have Audirvana connected to both Qobuz and Tidal and playing various hi res albums on Tidal got me curious about MQA, so I started fiddling about and trying to understand exactly what the setting do.To that, you have to add the cost of your music streaming subscription : I kept Plex for my movies/series and took Audirvana for my music.

Personally, after the 30-day free trial, I took a Studio Access subscription.
Audirvana relies on fingerprint analysis, like Shazam, and is on-point almost 90% of the time. Like Roon or Plex, the media library can be automatically scanned and sorted.

The search engine is good, even if it’s slightly faster on Mac than windows, and surprisingly it’s faster for me to use the Audirvana search engine, than Qobuz own search engine. If you can switch between light and dark themes, the team changes various things like the font, the space between the lines, the overall presentation of your albums, etc… a bottom bar with playback controls, volume, and even quirky things like a playback quality checkerĬompared to the prior version, Audirvana Studio is a major visual upgrade.a center frame, where all your files will appear, so you scroll and pick your music.Note that Qobuz/Tidal/HRA won’t appear unless you connect your account in the settings a left sidebar, where you can find all your sources, local files/radios/podcast/Qobuz/Tidal/Hi-Res Audio.a top bar with a search console, sort/filter option, and a button to access the app settings.The main screen is divided into four different sections: Once installed, Audirvana behaves like every other music apps, or so. So, after all that talk, it’s time to get into the review. In fact, I even found out that, sadly, one of the albums I bought a few years ago in DSD, was just a simple oversample of the CD version… Shame! And for each file, the player was able to confirm it what I was hearing was, indeed, a true Hi-Res file, or not. I tried that on three files, an album that I personally ripped, an album bought on Qobuz, and a file that I upsampled, thanks to AIPM3 converter (MP3 256kbps -> FLAC 24bit/96kHz). Once you’ve done that, a new window appears and confirm if the file you’re listening to is a real Hi-Res file, or a scam (aka a fake Hi-Res file).

To access it, you have to switch from the full player to the mini player, and then click on the switch, located on the upper left-right. Obviously, the quirkiest feature of Audirvana is the IRCAM Amplify analyzer.
