AudioDoctor Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 These small teething problems aside, 3.2.2 and Sox sound amazing. No electron left behind. Link to comment
Vule Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Any audible improvement in SQ is more than welcome here and implementation of Sox shows result. Great job done here, indeed! damien78 1 Link to comment

OneHandWaving Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It’s crashed twice this morning, both times at the end of a track (neither was the last track on an album). I’m using the latest version of Audirvana and Mac OS. Mac Mini, 16 gig of memory. Link to comment
EAltino Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi. The sound of SoX is promising, but I've experienced some clicks and pops using it. With Izotope 64 the sound is perfectly clean. I'd like to tweak the sound as I did with Izotope 64, but with those noises it's difficult. I use a Mac Mini (i5/16GB/1TB) connected to a Hegel H360 amp's DSD DAC with a Transparent USB cable and an Audioquest Jitterbug. A+ version is 3.2.2. Did anybody experience this problem with SoX? What about the filter settings? Any advice? Thanks. Link to comment

Rezseeker Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 3.2.2 + sox... wow, nice! Thank you, Damien. I’ve only tried the default settings which really are great, but can someone say (in kinda plain English) how the advanced setting filter tweaks affect the sound. Especially how the nyquist and pre-ringing sliders equate to their izotope equivalents since the achievable limits seem to be calculated differently (or does sox just have a broader range).

bnbayer Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I've had a couple of crashes with 3.2.2 using SoX on Mavericks. When restarting, A+ play queue shows tracks I was playing yesterday; lots of other music has played in the interim. Crash report attached. A+ crash while playing.rtf Link to comment

I've now released 3.2.3 that fixes the crash when using Audio Units & SoX, now plays complete track whatever the upsampling target rate, ...

copy_of_a Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 SoX implementation seems to work just fine now with version 3.2.3. However, the filter quality (with regard to the suppression of mirrored aliasing above the nyquist limit when upsampling) is really weak. Below screenshots of Fabfilter Pro Q2 (passed through) in AU plugin realtime mode while playing 44.1kHz music upsampeld to 176.4kHz showing the frequencies above 22.050Hz. With my iZozotpe settings mirrored aliasing stays below -110db while SoX shows mirrored aliasing up to -45db (in this particular piece of music I was playing to check SoX). SoX settings match my iZotope setting with regard to nyquist cutoff and pre-ringing. Steepness in my iZotope settings is moderate (28) while SoX produces more ringing (as it uses a higher steepness filter ... which is why it actually should suppress images better than iZotope with my settings). So either the SoX filter is really weak or something isn't working as supposed to... SoX: Bandwidth: 95% Pre-Ringing: 68% Anti Aliasing: 100 (steepness = fixed) iZotope: Nyquist: 0.95 Pre-Ringing: 0.68 Anti Aliasing: 100 (Steepness: 28) buonassi 1 ____________________________________________________ Mac Mini, HQPlayer | iFi Zenstream (NAA) | Intona 7055-B | Singxer SDA-6 pro | Vincent SV237 | Buchardt S400 | SPL Phonitor One | Beyer DT1990pro | Avantone Pro Planar II Desktop: Audirvana Origin | Intona 7054 | SMSL M500MKII | Pro-Ject Stereo Box S | Aperion Novus B5 Bookshelf | Lehmann Rhinelander | Beyer DT700proX Link to comment
Kirkwall Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Hi all, I was kindly directed over here from another thread. I'm having no luck getting A+ 3.2 to work with my MR v1.4. Unlike Roon, which was pretty much a flawless install, A+ routinely crashes, fails to output music to the MR (though it plays fine using the built-in output), and seems to have difficulty syncing to my libraries. I'm running the latest A+ 3.2.3, High Sierra and SonicOrbiter 2.5. It has worked -- and sounds great when it does -- but will not work consistently. Grateful for any tips from the community here. best, k Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks @damien78 I appreciate your work! Listening to the wonderful sounding 3.2.3 right now and enjoying every minute of it! Have a happy holiday. No electron left behind. Link to comment
Charente Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 @Kirkwall ... I can't tell what you've tried so far to rectify this ... When you say "no luck getting A+ 3.2 to work with my MR v1.4.", presumably, you've set the mR to MPD/DLNA on the App Switcher (GUI). It should just appear as an Output device on Preferences. Perhaps when A+ crashes, save a crash report and PM to Damien at Audirvana with an explanation.

I've also done the "Software settings" and "Save" move, which has worked before, if briefly. A3.2.3 sees the MR, but can't seem to output to it. Rebooting both systems doesn't seem to help.

Does A+ actually appear to be playing ? Presumably the volume on A+ is up ? I guess it might be a network issue (cable ?)
