Kinda odd that some recordings sound startling clear and dynamic and others overly aggressive. As a longtime CA member, also have HQPlayer and PM, all cool stuff, and the aggressiveness of the problematic recordings is kept in check by th settings I use with them. CA system - a Mac Mini AQ Coffee USB directly to a Mytek B+ with Keces DC -116 LPS powering it balanced outs to a McCormack DNA -500. Appreciate any suggestions regarding SOX parameters. Thanks.

I followed jimdukey's recommendation and moved slider to linear from 75% (must have seem somebody here recommend that value?), and seems to have removed the harshness I was feeling. Thanks.

jimdukey Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I think the 75% setting is the Default. I use Linear Phase on HQ, tried it with the new Audirvana, seems good. Link to comment

This "feature" is why I moved to network functionality rather than direct USB. Is there also an increase in SQ when moving from direct USB to network functionality with Audirvana?

Thanks Matt I think it depends on what you were using previously via USB and what you choose as a network interface. I have also not used Audirvana as a network player. I use ROON.

Sumo Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Audirvana will crash when switching from iTunes mode to Audirvana mode, changing settings on audio unit, then switching back to iTunes mode. Reproducible bug. Link to comment
DancingSea Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 One feature I really like about Roon is that once I like (heart it) a track, or tracks, on a given album, once that curation is complete, I can come back later and “play favorites”. I tap one thing and only my hearted tracks play. A+ has the ability to love ❤️ a track, but does A+ have a “play favorites” feature? Link to comment

I was wondering more about favorites on a particular album, not “all” my favorites in my whole library. In Roon, I really really like being able to go to one album and quickly just play all my favorite tracks in that specific album. Having that same function in A+ would be great. Link to comment

The play a track / group "followed by all the subsequent ones" seems to be a regular feature. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to play one track, or one group. I don't want "all the subsequent ones", I want the group I selected. Link to comment
ansouv Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I can not configure AU in audio settings. But real time effects work as usual. Mac OS X 10.11.6. Audirvana 3.5.15. Any suggestions? Link to comment

damien78 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 There is no change on AU configuration between these two versions. But is there anything else that may have changed on your system?

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. Link to comment

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. Link to comment
milva Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi Damien When using the Dirac 1.x or Dirac 2.x beta AU plug-in in Audirvana 3.5.x, switching a track from one sample rate to another sample rate causes Audirvana to crash. If I press STOP before switching, then PLAY is OK. If I resample everything at the same sampling rate it's OK. But in Audirnana 3.2.x it works perfectly. It has been tested on MacMini 2011, MacMini 2014, MBP 2014 and OSX 10.10.x 10.11.x 10.14.x Link to comment
Dinamoe Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I thought I had a handle on the following, but I read something recently that caused me to second-guess myself. Is it at all necessary to adjust the Mac MIDI output bitrate when using Audirvana? -Mike Link to comment

Dan The Man Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi... One little question....

Now I just upgrade the application to the newest version 3.5.16 and still the same problem.... P.S. even going from the menu, it doesn't work.... Can someone share a little light on my problem ? Thank in advance.... DTM Link to comment
