KT77 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi All, While it has been a few years since my last visit, I'm forced to comeback as a means of gaining insight from the more knowledgable among you, as to how I'm to go about setting up the audio settings and filter in the current version of A+ 3.5?. As I was enjoying a Bluesound Node 2 over said period, until I began to notice that with each firmware upgrade, it'd throw things out of whack, where I'd then have to resort to arranging a team viewer session with one of their techs, which in itself grew rather tiresome........, so late week I decided to go back to using my Mac Mini | Gustard DAC tandem with said current version of 3.5, and was very surprised by the overall sonics as compared to my older 2.6 version. Yet noticed for whatever reason, I wasn't able to sort out how to find the older setting type menu, which allowed me to alter the audio filters by ear, yet thanks to a single response by zacster over on Audio Asylum, I was told to click onto the little speaker icon......., which still didn't help me in finding anything. So I'm to then assume that I've to turn off the iTunes integral setting?, and then attempt to browse through said settings?, or am I missing something?. I'm also having trouble ( whereas I didn't a few years ago ) in running both the Mac Mini | iPad iTunes remote seamlessly, yet have noted this time around after about 30 - 47 or so, my library disappears on the iPad Air 3, which then forced me to reconnect a small 22" HP monitor along with a cordless Apple Keyboard | Track Pad and reconfigure things.........., which for some reason seems wrong!, as this didn't occur said first time around with the older version, once again as I wasn't able to locate any sort of manual for version 3.5, what might I be doing wrong I'd ask?. I recall cutting on both the file and screen sharing on the Mini, yet it still seems to fail after all of listening to 10 - 30 tracks, as I've tried my best to read through this current posting on said 3.5 version, having stopped at page 15, I merely through it best to cut the research short, and merely pose the question as such. Could someone please take a moment to walk me through this?, as I'm once again very very happy with the sound, yet the interfacing properties are wearing me down, I do intend to pursue either a Bluesound Vault 2i or Innuos ZenMini MK lll in the new year, as I've to much prefer having a player with onboard HDD intact, as opposed to relying upon shady Wifi networking to tie it all together, as a pair of power line Ethernet adapters all of a sudden strike me as a variable option of late. Do explain how to get into said settings to up-sample to DSD 128, as well as better integrate the Mac Mini to its iTunes Remote App via a true headless option. TIA!.

You now have options for syncing the iTunes Library, but I think that's about it. You can control A+ with it's own iOS app from the App Store. (I don't use iTunes any longer, so others will give better advice...) Audio options are pretty well hidden - think of it as an Easter Egg. First, music cannot be playing. Click the little loudspeaker icon, find your connection (DAC, usually) and then click the little arrow to the left. As you scroll down there will be a few more up/down arrows to show/hide hidden options. It's all there - just a lot more scrolling and clicking and cryptic symbols than before. Hi bnbayer, Thanks for sharing said information, as it does give me somewhere to start......., much appreciated. 🤓 Regards, O_o scar Link to comment

Now if someone would be willing to assist me in resolving the headless issue, between the Mac Mini | iPad Air 3?, it bring me joy. 😒 Regards, O_o scar Link to comment
KT77 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi All, While I to love the new A+ Remote, might I ask you all that might use Catalina?, just where do I locate the Music stored on it?, like the older iTunes folder?. As I'm using the second method of loading my " Music Library " onto A+, which seems to sync said songs, yet what method such I use when it doesn't add newer downloads?, am I to rescan each time I've added 10-37 songs?, or delete A+?, and reload it every time I'd buy new songs?. I'm not blaming A+, as once again the new Remote App looks very very nice on my end, but I'm having trouble sorting how just where to find said music files | folders in Catalina?, since iTunes is no more. Please advise. Regards, O_o scar Link to comment

Please advise. I'm happy that I was able to find how on my own how this is done, seeming as no one took a moment to respond to said request........., I guess I can see why so many are lost. I'm out.
