@damien78, Does it means there is no convolution possible in UPnP with Audirvana 3.5.2? Am I wrong ? I use Reverberate Core 2.0 by LiquidSonics.

 

Yes, you can use it with uPnP; I do it with Reverberate Core as well. Just don't enable real-time control of Audio Units.

 

If you need to test the effect of DSP on audio you need to find another way. I use JRiver (Mac) on a Macmini locally connected to my DAC. Unfortunately  Audirvana does not allow the plugin to be by-passed  (on local playback) as it cuts the audio to the DAC if you by-pass Reverberate Core.

 

@damien78, it would be convenient to add selection check boxes next to the audio unit drop-down lists. This way one can enable or disable any audio unit effect without removing it from the list first. It's very inefficient to re-enable the previous audio unit and find the correct settings again.

There is no change on AU configuration between these two versions. But is there anything else that may have changed on your system? AU plug-in update?

Is it the same after a reboot?

 

Thanks Damien.

 

Yes, after I deleted Preferences file and reboot. It must be my PC then. I have been playing with Dirac Live beta recently. It installs its own plugin. I will look into it and report back.

Update: I have deleted Dirac plugin and rebooted PC. No change, it still locks the plugin settings. I can pick but cannot modify them.

 

I also have A+ 3.2.16 still installed. I tested the same scenarios on 3.2.16 and, to my surprise, it works as expected. So my conclusion is the MacOS audio sub-system is OK.

 

Damien, hope this helps.

I can edit Audio units now (.17) but  an old bug is back.

 

I'm streaming to a DLNA renderer (MicroRendu) and if I enable "Realtime Control" audio units are disabled (audio plays but no effects). I realise we cannot "Realtime Control" DLNA streaming yet but, at least, I was expecting the app ignore the setting under these conditions (Inc DSD playback).

 

Also, @Damien, is it possible to put a "Check Box" next to the Audio Unit dropdown pick lists? This way we can enable/disable certain audio units without setting them up again next time we change our audio chain; something similar to JRiver. Another benefit is some of the plugins' internal enable/disable switches do not work as intended. For example, I use LiquidSonics Reverberate Core convolution engine and when turned off it cuts off the audio completely.

Don't you have this already? In Audio Settings

 

How about starting with simple fixes? Something like channel balance, time delays, speaker distance settings , crossovers, etc. Plugins you guys mention are quite expensive (more expensive than Audirvana itself) and, in most cases, they are overkill. Their key market is audio mastering/mixing, studio/DAW users.

 

A good example to have a look is JRiver room correction options. Something similar would be most appreciated.

REW is free. With that and a $75 calibrated microphone you can optimize your room setup. I don’t know whether you can do equalization for Audirvana with it - anyone know the answer to that?

 

Yes, you can do that. I, actually, do it myself. REW+Umik-1 USB mic to measure the room FR & IR, DRC Designer Software (Win) to generate FIR filters. You also need a convolution engine to apply the DRC filters in Audirvana. I use Reverberate Core ($39) for this. Very good plugin. I get easily identifiable significant SQ improvements.

 

However, what you cannot do is your specific channel balance/distance fixes (for example, speaker placement difficulties or if you have some unbalanced L/R hearing issues). JRiver has options to fix these problems (in case Damien is curious).
