erin29 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hi, Damien I'm running Audirvana 3.4.916 on Windows 10 with Nuforce uDAC5 DAC. I'm always hearing popping sounds on my speakers when start first track of any DSD playlist (DSD files and first track of playlist only). They played fine with Jriver 25. Can you help me this problems, thanks a lot. Link to comment
jos Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hello everyone, I'm very happy with the new Audirvana 3.5 (many thanks to Damien so far!!). But one thing is being a pain in the ash for me. For example: when I change an album name in iTunes, the Audirvana scan functionality (on auto mode and every time by startup) is seeing the change almost directly, but the old (renamed) album name still exists, but the songs within this album I can't play anymore, and often doesn't exist anymore, or just one or a few. It seems to me that the scan functionality doesn't cleanup enough. Who knows a solution, or is this one for Damien? One other thing is a fault in iTunes. Audirvana is seeing a song twice in one album. Mostly all the songs within an album. I noticed this fault in a software program called 'Song Sergeant'. This is a very powerful cleanup program for iTunes. It also sees songs twice within an album and is then asking you for deletion, but in fact the songs are not double. You can see them twice in iTunes, but in fact it's an iTunes fault to show songs twice. I want others to be aware of this iTunes behavior. Perhaps this is solved in the new Catalina Music app. I am running Audirvana on a Mac. Link to comment
bobbmd Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 @damien78 or ANYONE ELSE : WILL A+3 with its ‘legacy’ iTunes library of 800+ albums in FLAC and AIFF be preserved in A+3 if i delete the 1.6TB of audio i have on my 4TB WD SSD hard drive or will it disappear from A+3 and if i do delete these audio TB’s how can i do it easily form a late 2012 i7 Mac mini Link to comment

A+ and iTunes databases contain the metadata (tags) for the music files, and pointers to those files. They do NOT contain the actual music files, so if you delete the audio files you will have no music. Depending on the advanced preferences you have set in iTunes, you MAY or may not have a duplicate copy of all files in a separate place. (BTW If you have FLAC files, I don't think they will be in your iTunes library. Last I tried, iTunes accepts ALAC and AIFF, but not FLAC.) Link to comment
bobbmd Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 @bnbayer thanks pretty much what i thought but let's see if anyone else answers but i tend to disagree i was able (way back then in a galaxy far far away) to get FLAC plus ALAC and AIFF at least that what A+ whatever said in lower right or left hand corners... but like i said it was a while ago and haven't gone to that library in a long time-will recheck in the end i won't delete those audio files NEVER do i want to spend 2 whole NFL seasons ripping those cd's and dvd-a's onto the macmini and i doubt i will ever accumulate 1.6TB of music again thanks again for the reply Link to comment

But iTunes won't open them, and if you have the advanced preferences in iTunes set to manage your library, it won't deal with the FLAC files. Link to comment
jos Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 There is a new version, 3.5.21 Link to comment

jos Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Off topic, but to inform you: I installed Catalina and the new music app is having problems loading artwork. The memory usage is also running out of proportions at the same time, so it’s better to wait for an update. By the way: Audirvana is working great under Catalina. I did not experienced any problem.

Joebah Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Seem to have lost the ability to play a folder of music by dragging the folder onto the Audirvana icon in the dock. A+ version 3.5.23 under MacOs 10.15 Catalina. Is this just me? (Seems like this went away once before and then was restored.) Thanks!

petalthecat Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Has anyone successfully installed Audirvana 3.5 on windows server 2019? I have spent days trying to, including unsuccessfully downloading Ms- app insaller. the app windows requires when installing Audirvana from the web. Help! Link to comment
biosailor Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I am streaming Audirvana from my Mac Mini to a Raspberry Pi 4 running Ropieee XL that is then connected to my Devialet Expert 120. Works like a charm (BTW the Raspi is FED with the new Shanti LPS). Since I like the sound so much, I am thinking of investing into Allo‘s new USBridge Signature. Does anyone know of the USBridge Sig will run properly with Ropieee XL? Thanks for any input! matthias 1 Link to comment

I was hoping to quickly find an online guide to link, but the first few I glanced through weren't great. Search and see whether you can find something that looks reasonably clear and helpful. satbaba 1 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

petalthecat Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks Jud for the advice. I'm trying to setup up my computer with Audiophile Optimizer. As you may know this program improves sound quality by dramatically reducing processes of the operating system and Windows server 2019 suppose to be best sounding of Windows operating systems. I know Roon works with window server 2019 but find it to expensive and Audrirvana has been reviewed well. If worst comes worst probably unintall windows server 2019 and install windows 10.

Some player programs do their own optimization, or need processes AO removes, or both. Dual booting isn’t at all difficult (I dual boot El Cap and Catalina on my laptop, Win 10 and Xubuntu on my desktop), so you can keep the AO installation for whatever you like about it, and install Win 10 for players that expect things AO removes. But if you’d prefer replacing, certainly try that. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
