Audirvana 1.5 Beta


Recommended Posts

Unfortunately with 1.4.9.9 to 11 "Realtime AU control and setup" does not function anymore. The popup window of the AU does not show up. This worked nicely for me with the first version of the 1.5 beta. No idea why it's gone.

The list of AU shows up, no problem to select and configure the AU's. They also work without problem in other hosts. Any advise what could be wrong in my setup or is it a bug in A+?

 

PS: I use Playlist mode (no iTunes)

 

Just as a point of comparison, still works just fine for me, in either iTunes integrated or playlist mode.

Damien,

 

Went to add a SACD image with .11 and when I hit the start button nothing happened. Had to temporarily downgrade to 1.4.6 to get it done then back to .11

Thank you so much for the wonderful A+!

 

I suppose active crossover is still not possible? Especially applying different AU/VST on different pairs of stereo outputs? (something similar to pure music) as it seems currently the plugins are only applicable to the primary stereo out only?

 

it would be awesome if such feature (active crossover with individual plugins) is possible...

Thanks Frans you've posted faster than me :)

 

I've just released the public beta for 1.5 with Multichannel playback, and Audio Units plugins support.

The user manual is up to date.

 

It also includes:

 

 

  • Add command to scroll playlist to the currently playing track
  • DSD128 support for DoP 1.1 4x176.4kHz devices (Mytek)
  • In iTunes integrated mode, use the track start and finish settings (in iTunes track info settings) to play only the wished subset of the track
  • Remaining time display (toggle with total track time by clicking on it)
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fix gapless playback in Cue Sheets and when using dithered volume control
    • Fix last seconds of the last of a playlist being cut off in iTunes integrated mode
    • Airplay fix applied also for 10.8.3
    • Gapless playback even when using filters (sample rate converter and/or Audio Units)

 

 

And also sound quality improvement :)

Hi Damien -- In the past few days, I have been making playlists in Itunes using DSD files. On 2 or 3 occasions, A+ stops after one track and does not finish the playlist. I can only resume playback by rebooting A+. Does the 1.5 version address this? Thanks. -- David

I purchased a license I could not live without it the sound quality improvement in hardware could cost thousands to get the same level of improvement.

 

It's pretty glitchy for me. Mostly with AirPlay. I have found that it works ok if I do as Damien instructed selecting the source in audio MIDI and setting output in iTunes to computer. However he mentions that you can run simultaneous airplay devices with airfoil. It works but will mute after one song I am having to job the volume slider to get the sound to come back on. I am shocked at how much better my airplay devices sound with A+ I want it to work all the time. I would appreciate any info on how to get this to work.

 

Also with the new released version should I update to the newest version of iTunes ideally?

Oh and I have found that the sound quality via AirPlay with airfoil to be spectacular almost as good as in non integrated mode via USB. If the bugs could be worked out this program would be a revelation for me.

Which version of the Mytek DAC firmware do you have ?

You may want to upgrade to the latest 1.7.5 beta, or manually select "DSD over PCM 1.0" as the native DSD streaming method.

Hello Damien,

 

Function "Add file to iTunes" does not function any more since the 1.4.9.10 version…
