AudioDoctor Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 10 minutes after your post above Damien, A+ 2.6.6 is telling me it is the latest version as well. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Maybe you shouldn't believe it in this case. (Seriously, good that you alerted everyone to the upgrade reminder not yet functioning.) Occasionally I am useful for something... No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 In that case I guess I owe you $39 No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I just listened to the most hauntingly beautiful opening of Kat Edmonson's Summertime I have heard come from my computer. Great work Damien! Only the Aurender gets this good! No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have A+ 2.6.6 purchased last summer. Do I need to delete that version in order to fully hear 3.0? Or do I just download 3.0 and run it without regard to 2.6.6? Thanks! I am running them both side by side right now, so no. Just click "keep both" when installing it. No electron left behind.

AudioDoctor Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 By the way, an Oddity, I don't know if this is the way it is supposed to be, or if my Computer did it or what, but it put Audirvana Plus 3, as Audirvana Plus 2 in my applications folder next to my copy of Audirvana Plus 2.6.6 No electron left behind.

AudioDoctor Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well then, do most users think the result is better using upsampling or not in terms of ultimate sound quality? I assume many are just not willing to go through the process upsampling entails so Damien's tweeting matters to them. Since I do upsample May I assume the only possible difference in sound in 3.0 will relate to Tidal Masters played through the MQA process? Sent from my iPad using Computer Audiophile What huge process does up sampling entail? No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Playing with settings other than the defaults can be fun for some, but a bother for others. Sent from my iPhone using Computer Audiophile I suppose, I just selected the 2x upsampling and left it at that. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Are you saying this about non-MQA files? I just want to understand if you're excited about software decoded TIDAL MQA material, or non-MQA local/streaming input. I am hearing it with 16/44 CD rips... No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Damien, A+ alerted me to version 3.0.1 and asked me if I wanted to download and install it. I clicked yes, it downloaded but did not install. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Did you open the image file and then copy over the new version of the app? ... Of course I did, when I went to the A+ website to download it AFTER THE IN APP DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, AND RESTART FAILED TO WORK... Downloading it from the website worked Damien, it is only the in app installer that did not work, as I said initially. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 @bobbmdI don't think so, seam to be different issue regarding a Luxman DA06 DAC incompabilitly with A+ version 3 I have a Luxman DA06 and its working fine, but I am on Mac OS Sierra Are you trying to use Direct Mode by chance? I can't remember when that stopped working. Did you replace the kext file to get Direct Mode working after Apple borked it? No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 A few days ago I purchased the Audirvana 3.0 upgrade. I run Audirvana on 2 computers using the same license. This has never been a problem. With Audirvana 3.0 I run into problems now each time I start Audirvana. I’ve sent several emails to Damien but got no response. I am just wondering if I am the only one encountering this problem.After the install on the first Mac entering the license key caused no problems. After the install on the second Mac I got the message that the key was invalid. I started in Trial mode and entered the key later, which was accepted. For one day it was possible to run Audirvana on 2 Macs (I did not try simultaneously as I never do that). Since yesterday I encounter the problem that when starting Audirvana I get the message ‘Too many installs’. When I start in Trial mode and enter the key later the key is accepted and all runs fine. I have to go through this procedure each time I start Audirvana. Maybe Damien reads this and can offer some help to solve this. To me that sounds like normal behavior if the licensing scheme has changed to only allow one Install per license. I do know that previously you could install it on multiple computers. I am glad I know this as I was going to install it on multiple computers today as well. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Running Mac OS Maverick I'm always use Exclusive and Direct Mode with A+ 2.6 and Luxman DA06.I already have tried to disable both Modes and the still happens. Even though I'm using Maverick ,where both Modes works, I need to replace de kext file that you mentioned? I believe not... I would like to keep currently Mac OS Maverick that IMO faster than Sierra (boot less than 15seg) and considering this Mac is dedicated to A+ ok, I just couldn't remember when that changed. Do not change any kext files. Were you trying to play MQA files without telling A+ that the DA06 is not an MQA certified device? No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 *two* computers max!I always had A+ installed on my dedicated Mac mini, at home, and on my MBP for when I'm away Ah okay, that's how many I had it on. No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 ok, I just couldn't remember when that changed. Do not change any kext files. Were you trying to play MQA files without telling A+ that the DA06 is not an MQA certified device? Or, to make it simpler. Did you tell A+ that the DA06 is an MQA certified renderer or decoder while trying to play an MQA file? No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 No, A+ auto detects that Luxman is not a MQA device so I didn't change it.I have tried my another Mac running OS Sierra, without direct, exclusive, and interge Modes and similar issues occurred! A+ starting load first track taking a long time and after shows "error to starting playback"... I will try to remove Tidal app from my both Mac because I'm suspecting it may causing A+ issues huh, you have me stumped. It is my understanding the DA06 has a standard USB 2.0 compliant input.

AudioDoctor Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 it's not a matter of "being lucky": it's about working on your file's metadata hope that A+ will magically fix missing/bad/poor/wrong metadata? :-0 good luck with that I have put a ton of effort into my metadata and A+ starting with the upgrade to 2.6.6 screwed it all up... It is perfect everywhere else in every other player... No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 @mgaluzzi I wonder if Luxman made a change along the way regarding the DAC input. What vintage is your DA06? No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 @AudioDoctorMy Luxman DA06 is from 2014 Regarding to A+ v3 compabilty with some DACs, now I realized that in A+ download site has a disclaimer talking about it that includes Luxman' DAC, Teac, and others. There as special A+ v3 version, AudirvanaPlus_3.0.0.1-teac.dmg, to workaround but didn't worked to Luxman too. I had to rolled back to version 2.6.6 and everything is working fine again with Luxman DA06. I have already bought A+ v3 upgrade from v2, so I hope @damien78 could solve this issue as soon as possible! Interesting... But you downloaded the "fix" version and it didn't work... Did you do an upgrade install or did you do a clean install? No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I actually have 2 DA06's. The one connected to my Aurender is from 2014 as well. The one here at my desk is brand spanking new. No electron left behind. Link to comment
