Hi @damien78

 

Will you support Amazon Music HD Streaming?

Thanks.

I am curious as well.

UK, US, Germany I think

I agree and I guess no problem for Damien at all to realise this, but is Amazon willing to cooperate? That’s the question, I think. As a valued prime customer, I can only ask them to make this possible. Others too?

I just sent an email to Amazon through their Amazon Music App requesting Audirvana + Integration and told them that without Audirvana + they will not have my business.  Lets see what they will say.

 

I suggest everyone here interested in Amazon Music through Audirvana to do the same.

[mazuly]

Got a reply from Amazon Music thanking me about my suggestion and told me that my request was sent to their technical team.  
let’s see what they will do next.

Major major upgrade for the App.  It crosses all I had requested.

 

Thanks Damien.  Great job.

@mazuly got that email today went to the app store didn't find it maybe didn't look hard enough do you need latest ver of iphone OS ? definitely have latest A+3 version

I have latest A+ but I don’t think that should matter.  On my iPhone and iPad it was an automatic update actually.

I just searched for Audirvana on App Store and it poped up, no problem.

Maybe best searching again.

Hi Damian

When looking at an artist albums or tracks in Tidal, MQA logo does not show.

I don't get that option ??

 

 

Hi

I think from Mac you can only do DOP which Audirvana does automatically (not sure for Windows)

Set DSD 64 there and then choose To DSD from upsampling tab with sample rate of DSD 64.

 

I have done that before: 

Mac mini -> microRendu -> Schiit EITR (spdif) -> Mojo

 

Having said that I find Mojo sounds better without upsample since Chord products upsample everything u send them according to their software and change to PCM.  I think only DAVE has special path for DSD.

What are your settings for bridge device connected to a DAC?

Yes provide the info jud is asking but I don’t get it as well when I stream through microRendu.  The setting is controlled through upsample tab.

what is your settings for upsample tab.  Can u sent us a picture of that please?

Another compliment to @damien78 for the new Remote release.  
 

I agree with some the previous comments that there is always room for some more small fixes, but overall this is a fantastic improvement over the previous version on both iPad and iPhone. 
 

Great job!

This is not a complain.  As I said the app is fantastic.

 

Damien is always looking into improving the product he releases and with our help he can get the bugs out of the app to make it even better.

 

Thanks again @damien78 for the great app update.

Thinking about this again. The microRendu is USB and I guess will work without specifying DOP? 

Let me try with my oppo blue ray player since that only has spdif output.

Interesting.  I get DSD not supported for both oppo and Sony tv.  I remember getting DSD 64 on the oppo with the previous version of Audirvana.

With microRendu I can actually setup the DSD rate all the way up to 512 but I do not get any setting for DOP.

I assume Damien doesn't want Audirvana to be just "Adequately Equipped" with a remote, but "Outstanding" with the most user-friendly, easy to understand remote. A remote that's a match for the amazing sound we get from Audirvana.

Agreed

Hi Jud

 

I am not 100% sure this is the information your asking for as I'm a bit sketchy on the terminology....

 

But here goes

 

Device Settings in A+

 

 

Upsampling settings in A+

 

 

General settings in RopieeeXL

 

 

Advanced settings in RopieeeXL

 

 

RopieeeXL settings in RopieeeXL

 

 

 

And finally - working settings in Roon

 

To me all setting seems ok.  Jud can maybe provide more feedback.

 

I Have a feeling that Audirvana is not doing DoP v1.0 anymore and maybe that why you don’t get a sound.  Maybe that’s why I can’t do DSD on oppo anymore.

 

@damien78 any feedback on this?

[mazuly]

This Album just sounds amazing streaming through Audirvana:

Same behaviour I'm afraid. Hissing and very feint music in background.

What happens in Roon if you change DoP to a different version? 

Do you get hissing and faint music in background?

if yes, then DoP is the issue here since Audirvana may use a different DoP version.

correct typoHave been really enjoying 3.5x and most of the new remote version. Thanks Damien!

 

I'd love to be able to have the remote (on iPad) display a grid of album covers, like the earlier remote app did. Right now I get a scrolling list of albums, with the album cover on the left, line by line. I didn't see a way to modify this display (in album mode)—is there one? Unless I'm using the far right alphabet index to hone in on a location (or the search functions, which are improved in this latest remote), I tend to scroll through the gridwork of album covers to pick what I want—usually because I don't know until I see it. With thousands of albums, this is too tedious. (In all fairness, probably most of the time, I do know what I want to listen too, and the new remote is fine for that—it's more when I'm truly browsing.)

+1

@damien78

 

It would be great we get an option to have it in both landscape and portrait mode on iPad and iPhone.

Thanks again for the great remote.

Hello @damien78

If possible, can you please add the following to next release:

If say, I am looking at albums in New Master window, playing any of the album brings me to the top of the album list if I go back, and I have to scroll down to where I was before. Is it possible the location stays where It was before I played and album so that I don’t have to scroll to the same location again?

Thanks for your help.

Hello @damien78

I see another issue:

When choosing Tracks in Tidal New, the changes to changes to New, Staff Picks or Top 20 does not change anything and tracks listed remain the same.

[mazuly]

Hello @damien78

In album view instead of > we get the 3 dots for some albums and then those albums with dots will not open (see attached picture).

 

[mazuly]

It’s now in the bottom of the screen

Under favorites 

The playlist for tidal is in the right hand side on top under local music.  Choose the playlist and u get the option for tidal playlist

i know it’s a little confusing 😀

[mazuly]

Well I tried connecting my Mac mini to microRendu directly through ethernet and enabling internet sharing on my Mac and could not do it.

Having said that, I am really not that good in manual network setup and maybe network connection need to be setup manually.

If anyone is interested in Last.fm scrobble support for Audirvana, I've created a simple script (Mac) for this. Just keep the script running while using Audirvana.

 

https://github.com/sprtm/audirvana-scrobbler

 

Note, it does require some experience with the Terminal and scripting.

Is there anyway to do the same for Amazon HD?
