trytototo Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Dear Damien, I am a new user in Mac, and consider to buy the Audirvana plus to play local FLAC files that I created from my CD. Before my purchase, I would like to clarify some issues in Licensing. Basically, I have tried to read previous threads here and understand the 15 days internet licence validation check. I am planning to buy and install the Audirvana plus on a Macbook Air. I can activate it online at the moment I purchase, but it will then be used in place with no internet connection later. May I know the consequence, in case My MBA have no internet connection after, eg 15 days. 1) will the Audirvana programme completely shut down? or 2) I can still play my local FLAC files that I created from my CD? Thank you. Link to comment
damien78 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 This is true there needs to be a license check from time to time. You will then need to connect your MBA not every 15 days, but only once every 60 days.

AudioDoctor Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Does the beta put Qobuz files in some sort of alphabetical order, or some other order that can be set by the user other than latest added to the library? That one change would make using Qobuz with A+ a lot more enjoyable and simple. Jud 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment
Kilauea50 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 @damien78When I select any music whether downloaded, Qobuz or Tidal, it will only play one track and stops. Also, the pause and stop buttons on the Mac Pro are greyed out. I have to use the iPad remote to pause or stop. Thanks for any input Link to comment
damien78 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 To which audio device are you playing? Is it a network player that could have a bad UPnP implementation? Maybe there is a firmware update available from its manufacturer fixing this issue.

Kilauea50 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 @damien78I have a Manhattan Dac with the network card. Both the Dac and card fW are up to date and I don't have any issues with mConnect or Roon. I am not sure what to say as this has not been an issue with this unit in the past. I will check with Mytek Link to comment
damien78 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 This may mean their network card is sourced from ConversDigital (the company behind mConnect also makes network adapters for DAC manufacturers). And if this is an old model, it may be affected by their compatibility bug with UPnP. It works somewhat after having woken it up with mConnect. It seems to need this proprietary command to have UPnP correctly up and running. FYI, Cambridge Audio also has a similar issue, and has been working on a firmware fix. Though they have not released it so far.

It definitely works perfectly with mConnect. thanks for your response Link to comment
Bob Stern Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Slave mode control via AppleScript: Damien, now that you are merging the Mac and Windows code, what are your plans for maintaining AppleScript functionality, including "Slave mode"? I imagine that if 3.5 is based on a cross-platform framework like Qt, it will require extra work for you to continue to support AppleScript.

szczemirek Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Audirvana stopped playing from tidal after few seconds ;) Any help please. Link to comment
Kilauea50 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have A+ installed on a Mac Pro and installed it on a Macbook Pro to directly connect to my dac. Now it says I have too many installs and to remove one. I have deleted it from the Macbook Pro but when I attempt running it on the Mac Pro it still says too many installs. I don't have it installed now on anything else. How to fix this? Thank you Link to comment

Jud Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I believe there is a scary-sounding option in the program itself to "permanently revoke my registration" or something like that. Reinstall on Mac Pro, revoke the registration there, uninstall, and you should be good to go on MacBook. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

hykhleif Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 hi i use audirvana on my macbook pro 2018, and since day one of using audirvana i experienced glitches where i hear very short cut outs, so i came to this site and people were blaming the new macbook pro, but why when i listen using tidal app this never ever happens i used hugo 2 and chord qutest and ifi micro dsd black label all have this annoying issue where there all of a sudden a static sound is heard every now and then, but this never ever happened with using just tidal knowing i do not do upsampling or use any eq, the only thing i did is used sysoptimyzer to be extreme Link to comment

I am using a Mac mini 2018 and I never ever experience any glitches with Audirvana. With Roon I tend to get crackles at the beginning of a song, but not with Audirvana. That's why I switched to Audirvana. I am sorry, I know my answer doesn't help you. I am using Deviate's AIR to stream to my Devialet and it runs perfectly well over Ethernet Cat 7a. Do you use WiFi? With WiFi I constantly run into trouble. Link to comment

Bootzilla Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I experienced dropout glitches using Audirvana on my mid-2012 MacBook Pro with a Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB Samsung SSD. I posted about it here and did not receive any responses. Other audio programs run fine on this MBP. It was disappointing, as Audirvana sounds great when it isn't glitching out.
