Audirvana Plus 3 (official thread)

I am an A+ version 2 user who exclusively uses drag-and-drop. What new goodies in version 3 will motivate me to pony up $40 for the upgrade?

Check post 190 from Jud.

No issues on 3.0.3 so far, all is running well on my end.  Thanks and sounds great.

found that on some albums the treble of cymbals and vocal sibilants were a touch forward and detracted from the positive SQ changes in v3.0.1. I decided to adjust steepness down a touch, and found a better balance for my system for addressing hot treble.

 

@watercourse or others, wouldn't you adjust the steepness of the filter the other way to address this concern or am I wrong?  Always willing to learn from others here.

Glad to see things are running perfect; was wondering if you could humor me with an experiment; seems I have a strange issue that nobody else has yet mentioned (or have not yet discovered).  Here it is:

Use the "search bar" to search for an artist where you have more than one of their recordings (this problem only happens to me when find the artist via the search bar).  Start playing a song from the first album you select - the album and track list appear at bottom in the viewer.  Now switch over to another album of the same artist and select a song.  That song will play but the album and track list of the "first" album you selected pops back up in the viewer at bottom.
 

Can you reproduce this strange behavior?

 

Yes, same for me.  I think the issue is that you have to physically click on the album in that "search results" window for the track listing on the bottom to change.  If you just click the play arrow, it will update it in the play queue and start playing that new album, but the search is the same. 

 

Now can anybody tell me how to clear that search?????

I have had a question for a while now on the smart links to artists names.  If you click on a name in the window for the play queue, it takes you to a filter of all albums by that artist.  Is there a way to clear that smart browser filter or does it just remain?

I am sure that the A+ license validation is an issue for some who might use it for extended periods of time off line.  I totally get that.  What I don't understand is the outrage/personal offense taken by those unaffected by the validation check, and more so were using it happily in their system prior to this coming up.  Pirating is a reality in the world that we live in, and developers/artists want to protect their IP.  The negative actions of the few unfortunately have a minor infringement on the many.  

 

But here is the thing - the validation check is not taking anything from you or searching your computer for personal information to social engineer.  Maybe we can all just assume good intent here knowing that any computer connected to the internet by default has to interact with the internet?
