Serpieri Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just wanted to say thank you to Damien, and all others who reported, for fixing the issue importing large playlists as part of the latest update. Link to comment
rruffin Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Maybe a silly question that has already been answered: If someone publishes a playlist for either Tidal or Qobuz, how do you add that to Audirvana to play in Tidal or Qobuz?

You should access with your account to Tidal/Qobuz using their app (or using web) and set the playlist as Favorite. You would then be able to find it in Audirvana corresponding Tidal/Qobuz Favorite Stefano My audio system Link to comment

RunHomeSlow Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 To be clear...

jimdukey Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I remember posting about the lack of Direct Mode after El Capitan, and it was said that it's only 1% of the sound, can't even tell it's gone. Now, the sound is ruined. What happened? Link to comment

Martini Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Just updated my Mac Mini 2020 w/i7 to Big Sur and for some reason my album art has been messed up on many of my albums. Of those messed up, most are from covers that I scanned, so they may be large files, but some downloaded from HDTracks are also distorted. Has anybody else encountered this and how did you resolve the issue?

audiocanyon Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 What's the best way for me to completely uninstall Audirvana 3.5.xx, including all of the associated configuration files? I can't get album covers to show up in "Artist" library display mode and am wondering if a complete uninstall and reinstall may solve the problem. 2012 Mac Mini, Mac Sierra OS, Audirvana 3.x, WireWorld Ultraviolet 7 USB Interconnect, Benchmark DAC2 L, Wireworld Equinox 7 Balanced XLR Interconnect, Belles 350A Amp, DIY Speaker Cables (18 strands of 22awg wire in circular array), DIY Carver Ribbon Speakers & Dayton Woofers Link to comment
rruffin Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 So, I am trying to add another device (UPnP) on to the network. Audirvana recognizes it and plays to it. Great. But each of the two devices (Raspberry pi based streamers) need different setting because they work with different dacs. Unfortunately, when I set the device parameters for one (Maximum PCM Rate, Sox and Upsampling target frequencies), they change for both devices. Is there a way to have different setting for each device? Thanks in advance.

jos Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 There is a new Roon version out, but what are the plans for Audirvana? Does Damien know already? Link to comment
Martini Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Okay, recently started seeing this error after hitting play: I'm using a Mac Mini i7 with Big Sur 11.1x. and latest ver. of Audirvana. I had optimization set to extreme, but lower it down a notch and this still occurs. Has anyone seen this? I also still have the Album cover distortion issue. Is Damien working on this at all? I could lower the resolution of some of my album covers because they were scanned, but I haven't seen any solid guidance on resolution > pixel count & resolution dpi. Also, there is some distortion with albums that were downloaded from HDtracks, etc, so doesn't seem right that I should need to change those too.

RunHomeSlow Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 try deleting its preferences… Close Audirvana Go to the Main Library Folder… PrivilegedHelperTools folder… Trash All the files in that folder from Audirvana (that folder install SysOptimizer) Go to the Main Library Folder… LaunchDaemons Folder… Trash All the files in that folder from Audirvana (SystemOptimizer and prefs files) Restart MAC.
