pl_svn Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Damien found the problem and it wasn't related to A+. I told A+ to scan my music by adding the top folder on my NAS share. I totally forgot that I had RoonDB backups in that location as well. This caused some very strange display issues that we all self inflicted.

pl_svn Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 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. *two* computers max! I always had A+ installed on my dedicated Mac mini, at home, and on my MBP for when I'm away if this has changed to just one... that's one more reason, for me, to stick with v2 (btw... still waiting an answer about which "other" devices, apart the microRendu, v3.1 will support :-| ) Qnap HS-264 NAS (powered by an HD-Plex 100w LPS) > Cirrus7 Nimbini v2.5 Media Edition i7-8559U/32/512 running Roon ROCK (powered by a Keces P8 LPS) > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio NOS digital preamplifier > First Watt SIT 3 power amplifier (or Don Garber Fi "Y" 6922 tube preamplifier + Don Garber Fi "X" 2A3 SET power amplifier, both powered from an Alpha-Core BP-30 Isolated Symmetrical Power Transformer) > Klipsch Cornwall III headphones system: Cirrus 7 > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio > Pathos Aurium amplifier (powered by an UpTone Audio JS-2 LPS) > Focal Clear headphones Link to comment
pl_svn Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Maybe you're lucky enough to have perfect metadata. Some of us have less than perfect metadata, typically a mixture of little of no metadata (old ripped LPs) and at best inconsistent metadata it's not a matter of "being lucky": it's about working on your file's metadata I hang on in hope, though I've stopped recommending to others. hope that A+ will magically fix missing/bad/poor/wrong metadata? :-0 good luck with that Qnap HS-264 NAS (powered by an HD-Plex 100w LPS) > Cirrus7 Nimbini v2.5 Media Edition i7-8559U/32/512 running Roon ROCK (powered by a Keces P8 LPS) > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio NOS digital preamplifier > First Watt SIT 3 power amplifier (or Don Garber Fi "Y" 6922 tube preamplifier + Don Garber Fi "X" 2A3 SET power amplifier, both powered from an Alpha-Core BP-30 Isolated Symmetrical Power Transformer) > Klipsch Cornwall III headphones system: Cirrus 7 > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio > Pathos Aurium amplifier (powered by an UpTone Audio JS-2 LPS) > Focal Clear headphones Link to comment
pl_svn Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 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... oh... ok, that's a whole different matter and I've been complaining about A+ "funny" metadata handling since v2.0 (btw... not even "that other app" is perfect. if/when you start looking at fine details you'll find plenty to complain about/disagree with. though, at least, all relevant stuff is and looks just great and the database is rock solid indeed! ) I certainly don't expect A+ to magically fix the metadata, but what would be very simple would be to facilitate browsing by file structure rather than only by metadata, as do other players. I started ripping my CDs and listening to digital music in the '90s using SoundJam (acquired, later on, by Apple which used it as the foundation to build iTunes upon) SoundJam did use metadata (albeit just basic ones) and honestly... I was astonished the day I saw my friends, those using PCs, had to use filepaths to have their music "properly" handled by their players as others already suggested here above, there are excellent Mac apps (eg. Yate) for handling metadata and much of the work can be automated nothing against A+ using filepaths too. but only as far as users can be in control of what and how those are taken into account: when in v 2.6 something of that was introduced... my library became a mess and I had to 1) wait for a fix, 2) start fresh *once more* Qnap HS-264 NAS (powered by an HD-Plex 100w LPS) > Cirrus7 Nimbini v2.5 Media Edition i7-8559U/32/512 running Roon ROCK (powered by a Keces P8 LPS) > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio NOS digital preamplifier > First Watt SIT 3 power amplifier (or Don Garber Fi "Y" 6922 tube preamplifier + Don Garber Fi "X" 2A3 SET power amplifier, both powered from an Alpha-Core BP-30 Isolated Symmetrical Power Transformer) > Klipsch Cornwall III headphones system: Cirrus 7 > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio > Pathos Aurium amplifier (powered by an UpTone Audio JS-2 LPS) > Focal Clear headphones Link to comment

pl_svn Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Integer mode 1, huh? I always found that too harsh, clinical and bright compared to Mode 2 which seems warmer. This is using 2.5 which I think is the same as 2.6.6 (confirm). Does 3.0 reverse this trend? always used Mode 2 with my (main) tube system as I agree with you on Mode 1 being too bright but this headphones amp and headphones (Beyerdynamic DT-880) are way too warm for my taste so I moved to Mode 1. weird, isn't it?

Rhiannon Gidden's "Moonshiner's Daughter". 24/96 MQA vs local 24/96 no contest at all: local wins by far indeed! MQA... bye-bye!
