 Yes, I noticed this from the start with v. 3.5. Spinning beachball off and on every time I use it. 2012 i7 mac mini with 16GB. I've gone back to v. 3.2 for now.

 

You'll want to perform a database defragmentation using the command in the Maintenance section of the preferences page.

On a Mac, where does one look to trash the preferences?

[jimdukey]

Do this!

For Mac.

Hi...

Just installed Audirvana 3.5.5 (mac OS)....

 

Every thing seem to work fine, but my mac-mini remote don't work and I cannot find the place to activate it....

 

Can someone help me?

 

Thank in advance

Dan the man

Took a while to find my way round it, as mentioned in other posts it's not very intuitive and basic settings are tricky to locate.  Everything seems to work, including Dirac plug ins.  Can't wait to give it a listen tomorrow.  Thanks for making it available to existing customers, much appreciated.

Hi....

 

Me again, just found it....

Thank again...

 

Now I am fighting to find the audio filter (Steepness, filter max, cut-off and the other)

You can try trashing is preferences:

 

Close Audirvana.

 

Apple hide the Home Folder in User Library at some time depending on OS System... When you have clicked your Home Folder, and cannot see the Library Folder in there, just do a ''cmd J'' to show the folder settings preferences and see at the bottom... click Show Library Folder and then you'll have access to the rest forever.
 
Go to the Main Library Folder... PrivilegedHelperTools folder...
Trash All the files in that folder from A+ (that folder install SysOptimizer)
Go to the Main Library Folder... LaunchDaemons Folder...
Trash All the files in that folder from A+ (SystemOptimizer and prefs files)

 

Restart Mac. Restart Audirvana, it should ask to install SystemOptimizer at first track playing.

 

It took me awhile to test this fix (busy) but it took care of my issue.  Thanks again, @RunHomeSlow !

Me Me again...

 

While it seem that I found how to activate the volume on my mac mini remote, I cannot switch to the next song from my remote...

 

And there is no audio filter to be found... (Steepness, filter max, cut-off and the other)

 

Still looking : if I find it I will let you know....

This is Windows, let me check Mac tomorrow.

 

 

Same with Mac:

I am the only one with syncing problems in 3.5.5????
Very slow, flickering screen, more than an hour syncing for 8 new CD's.....
And after that I miss 30000 old files.
I did the same in the old version. No problem at all.

On my Mac mini (2018, i7, Mojave ver 10.14.4) quitting Audirvana 3.5 does not work. The spinning beachball displays and I need to force quit the application. Quitting neither works with the shortcuts (command Q).

Can you send me by email or PM the hang report you get?

Sono l'unico con problemi di sincronizzazione in 3.5.5 ????
Schermo molto lento e tremolante, più di un'ora di sincronizzazione per 8 nuovi CD .....
E dopo mi mancano 30000 vecchi file.
Ho fatto lo stesso nella vecchia versione. Nessun problema.

Very slow synchronization from nas and Tidal

From TIDAL? Is it just now (potential TIDAL servers transient issue?)?

From your NAS, is it for the initial sync? What is the speed of your connection to the NAS? Wifi or wired?

[asdf1000]

Hi @damien78

 

In the Tidal desktop app there is 'suggested new tracks' and 'suggested new albums'.

 

Is this part of the API? Is it possible to come to Audirvana?

Replay Gain > signal processing (e.g. AU) > upsampling

This enables to use Audio Units not able to work with high sample rates.

In this case you should really provide Dither options after signal processing and upsampling ... so as the last step before sending the data to the DAC (dither should always be the last processing step, as you know).

Doesn't have to be an armada of dither options like HQ Player provides. But at least TPDF Dither for 16bit, 20bit, 24bit output should be available.

Otherwise I'd regard this version of Audirvana incomplete

NAS here is wired.

Da TIDAL? È solo ora (potenziale problema transitorio dei server TIDAL?)?

Dal tuo NAS, è per la sincronizzazione iniziale? Qual è la velocità della tua connessione al NAS? Wifi o via cavo?

For Tidal it could be the server, from the sync sync in wifi, but with version 3.2 it was more responsive and faster.

[Jorg97]

The Apple remote (slim aluminum) does not work with 3.5 (it does fine with 3.2.) On 3.5, it opens iTunes.

Also, frequently 3.5 only plays the first track of a CD file and then stops. Must quit 3.5 and restart to get it to work.

NAS on a wired GB connection: synching takes about 5 minutes at each and every launch

used to take 1m in 3.2.x

@Jud : As you have always been helpful just want your opinion: should I wait a bit longer to go to ver 3.5 all I care about is listening to my my Qobuz and TIDAL self made playlists and Qobuz/TIDAL themselves? Also how do I recover my License Key-it was so long ago for me and my 2checkout doesn't recognize me? And do I download both ver 3.5 and the remote A+(I have the remote on my iPad pro and my iPhone 7)? My system is quite simple a late 2012 MacMini i7 with 16GB RAM USB to both Meridian Explorer2 and Schiit Gungnir using El Capitan. thanks for your time bobbmd

Wow, I have very similar set, including the same build of mac mini and Gungnir. I am not Jud, but here is what I would do – try to send email to Damien. If you have the same mail it would work.

[bobbmd]

@AnotherSpin thanks will do but he (Damien) is more interested in all those esoteric questions with new version than my mundane ones i could care less about izotope/sOx filters upsampling etc I just want what i have already in terms of music playlists etc to transfer and play on ver 3.5 without having to worry about backups and deleting my current ver 3.1.26 and not having new ver play like some others have in this thread

thanks again for reply

You're welcome! Your info should be stored somewhere and recovered easy, just ask)

Has v3.5 added the ability to browse and search by file structure, a facility that sadly has been missing to date?

 

On 4/23/2019 at 11:00 PM, Jud said:

You can effectively have something like that if you use the Tracks or Albums view and have File Location as your first sorting criterion.

 

On 4/24/2019 at 12:14 PM, Jud said:

It will group tracks or albums according to your indexing criteria. So if your first criterion is file location, your second is artist, your third is album, and your fourth and fifth are sample rate and bit depth, then your albums will be grouped by file location (alphanumerically) first, by artist within that file location, by album within that artist, and by sample rate and bit depth within that album.

 

OK, this whetted my appetite, and I have installed a trial version of 3.5. 

 

And, indeed, setting local library albums first sort criterion to be Audio File Location works wonders!

 

Not as flexible as full file structure browsing with drilling down because it is all presented in a linear way. However, although cumbersome (even with my fairly modest collection of about 1200 albums), the genres I assign through file structure are at least grouped now so I can to scroll through to the one I want. (Metadata genres are a PITA as there are far too many, requiring editing of almost everything)

 

Now at least I can readily see albums that are duplicated or split, sitting side by side, which facilitates checking their metadata to find out why. Whether any albums are still missing or if this now shows them will take me a while to discover.

 

Thanks to Damien for this facility - albeit I know because of Jud’s response: thanks, Jud

 

BUT - it only works in the program itself, not from the remote app, and as I run my Mac Mini Headless, and using VLC to control is more of a hassle than the remote, I hope it will be incorporated into the app very soon.

 

Now I just have to decide if sonic differences between 2.6 and 3.5 are either negligible or positive!
