Jud Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 What I know: Audirvana Plus now integrates an MQA decoder! This allows - - Owners of an MQA renderer without the full embedded decoder to play the full MQA stream. - Owners of a non-MQA DAC to play the hi-res version, with a sample rate doubled compared to CD resolution. I don't know anything else, so don't ask! I believe Damien will be along with more information and answers to questions tomorrow.

Jud Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not at all! What about a recording of Bach cantatas or the Verdi Requiem or operas or . . . ? Some tracks are chorus + orchestra, some tracks are solos, some are duets, etc. - they *all* have different artists or combinations thereof. Example: [ATTACH=CONFIG]33445[/ATTACH] They really need to decide who's on that album! One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Jud Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Can we please have some details about the audio engine improvements? Um, it sounds better? Sorry, couldn't resist, but will tell you that I listened without being told there were any SQ changes and wrote Damien asking if he'd done something, because it sounds very, very good (subjectively speaking of course).

Jud Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for the heads up Jud. I take it there's an overall SQ improvement and not just with the MQA implementation. Yes.

Jud Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm looking forward to this, are we talking about a few days to release or longer? I don't know the answer personally. I know Damien has been on a family vacation and did not want to do the release just before or during that time.

Jud Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hello Damien, is there any news from the front line? [emoji351] Now Damien's stuff is completed and he is awaiting some final tweaks/bugfixes from the MQA folks, is what I understand is on Facebook.
