Audirvana Plus 3.5

@damien78

 

all smart playlists problems solved (here) : I suppose they were due to a migration "bug", I deleted those that didn't work and recreated from scratch. 

 

I discovered that different sets of filters can be defined inside each smart playlist, is it right ?

Do Audio Units work on DSD files?  I realize there's no real time usage with DSD, but do the AU's otherwise work with DSD?

Hi Damien,

As I told you the play option etc. didn't work in the album screen.
I just found what the problem is.
If you group the albums by Added Date it don't work.
When you stop the group adding it's ok.
So there some work to do for you:-)

1) Another issue is that if I click on an album in my library, it shows the correct number of tracks for that album.  If I click on the album name in a imported itunes play list, it takes me to the album, but there are always twice as many tracks as there ought to be.  There are 2 copies of each track.  If I go to that same album in the library, and not via a play list link, the same album shows the correct number of tracks.

 

2)  DSD and X2 upsampling work.  If I select any other upsampling, power of 2, etc, when I play a track, A+ immediately crashes...

Wave Arts Tube Saturator for example is extremely CPU intensive and works up to 192kHz depending on the CPU you use.

When combining Audirvana with WATS you have two softwares which are CPU intensive, not sure if this is a good idea.

@DancingSea,
I had problems with Audio Units with earlier versions of 3.5 Beta but it all works fine for me after updating my macOS to the latest Mojave 10.14.4, hope this helps.

How can you add a playlist to the playqueue?

Select a playlist, put it in tracks view, select all, add to play queue.

Okay, thanks, one suggestion for the website: if you want to send a support message, you cannot send an attachment. That would be handy, I think. The last time, in case of my ReplayGain issue, I was missing that possibility.

@damien78 i saw that the name of Audirvana changed and we have now two differents pref files in the system... i just deleted the Audirvana Plus plist file to keep the new Audirvana plist.

 

Restart, it ask for my serial number and i lost all the prefs i've made, in Software and DAC settings, but all my playlists were still there. Not long to put back prefs, just to let you know

Or you can simply keep both files.

They can live along. I've just kept the license data in the legacy plus preferences file so that the ones among you who want to do comparisons with 3.2 don't need to reenter their license key each time they switch.

One suggestion for the web site:

Please, can you provide the manual of the latest version of Audirvana on the site?

At the moment there is the manual of 3.0 on the site only.

Thank you.

I haven’t noticed any ill effect from using Wave Arts Tube Saturator.  I like how it softens the sound.  Roon with HQP pushed my cpu to the max, but A+ with WATS work great. 

 

I’m still not clear if it works with DSD on A+

Damien helped me.  I turned off real time adjustments and the audio units began to work. And continued to work after I turn real time back on. Go figure. 

 

Still not sure about dsd. 

[DancingSea]

Is A+ 3.5 able to send native DSD to the DAC?  If so, how do I arrange it?

 

Or is it only DSD via DoP?

[Andrey]

Installed 3.5, to the new interface there are a number of questions.
The frames at the top and bottom are too wide, the program icon in the DOC is larger in size than the standard Apple program icons and causes disharmony with them in color.

The old icon is much better.

Just posting to start getting this new A+ thread in my inbox.

I hope.

I noticed that the Web-Site is now in French, so I'm guessing something's up!

Bottom right, switches to English.

OK, I've got 3.5 for Mac.

Only I can't work it.

I just want to drag and drop Files.

I can't get out of the set-up mode.
