The difference I am hearing is more than the difference I heard when comparing Tidal to Qobuz (Qobuz sounds better cleaner more incisive, more 'direct' sound) Ĭomparing Roon to Audirvana There is more dynamic contrast with Audirvana Roon sounds flatter and less engaging when doing back and forth using same tracks With Aud, vocals have more "vibrancy" and focus overall sound has more life to it If I didn't do the back and forth I would not have believed this. Through my headphones I can clearly hear that Audirvana is superior to Roon.

I personally don't need EQ but it can help balance a system as long as it is doing it as base code level, not a bolt on.I recently installed Audirvana on my Win 10 Pro PC (also has Roon) to test the SQ differences. I tried EQ a while back, and all the options killed the sound, slowed it down too much, flattened it. There is Mode 1 which he recommends, Mode 2 for a slight treble drop, but to get system synergy for all digital systems it might be nice to have a few more. One thing Damien could add IMO is a few extra Mode options for the Codec. My DAC is an Audio Note 4.1 NOS R-2R with 5687 tubed output, no filter, no oversampling.

My USB to SPDIF is a full stack M2Tech EVO with custom PS. I have Audirvana+ set as Mode 1 INT (Direct). No oversampling or up sampling or filtering. I play AIFFs extracted from CDs using XLD, and play only at 44.1 RedBook native. If Audirvana+ 2 was 100%, I would rate Audirvana+ 1.5.1 integrated with iTunes as 93% and iTunes as a standalone as 85%. I think version 2 as a standalone is playing the music and missing out pretty much ALL Apple system low level code i.e. One other thing I noticed, is tracks load quicker, almost immediate whereas 1.5.1 had a slight delay. I use screen share on an iMac and my music is on a Mac Mini. So far I can live with it and drop iTunes DB. I will post back on my take on the interface. The best way to describe the SQ lift from 1.5.1 IMO is it sounds 'hard wired' or 'plugged into the mains' there is just more going on. more complex passages sound cleaner and easier to follow. Ambiance and low level information is separated more from the whole of the sound i.e. It is more energised if that makes sense.Ĥ. Bass is the same in level as 1.5.1 but has more texture and start / stop / slam energy. Mids are more textured and again sound faster.ģ. High to very high frequency detail is clearer and cleaner. But in my setup I like the pace and closeness of the sound I am getting right now.ġ. I think version 1.5.1 with iTunes is more laid back and slower which may suit some tastes and systems. Version 2 is really great! The clarity is better, it sounds like I am closer to the source somehow. I know a few users who would buy the app if it was as easy to use as iTunes with Apple Remote. I agree with folk here, the iPad app would be really cool, if and when it comes out. Audirvana+ as an audiophile player and sat in a 10K+ system - come on guys get real. I have paid thousands for Graphics software, $39 is what I wold pay for an iPad app or a plug-in. I read some posts saying thee $39 is steep. I miss view by date added, but will accept that for the jump in SQ on offer. The Album View is close to iTunes standard so I am happy with that. I will post back here with more listening, but so far I like it. My Audio Note tubed DAC is R-2R so plays native at 44.1 and up to 96K. I am comparing 1.5.1 with iTunes Integrated mode, and set as Integer Mode 1 playing RedBook at native 44.1 and using version 2 as standalone.
There is more detail as the most apparent change. I must say the SQ change is really obvious. I have both Audirvana+ 1.5.1 and 2 (latest version) running on my NOS system.

At least from what I have read.ĮDIT: also I am having a hard time believing a free app sounds better than an audiophile player.

have checked mine against the user manual and everything seems ok.Īny suggestions? It just feels like my experience is different from everybody elses. I am thinking maybe it has something to do with the settings. It's as if I am a few rows further back, while VLC I am right up there. I think a good way of explaining it the VLC playback I am right in between the music, it hits me right in the face (or ears), but with Audirvana it feels a bit distant. On the other hand, when I play the exact same file using Audirvana the sound seems a bit flat and distant. When I play the files on VLC they are vibrant, lively and intense. I am AB'ing FLAC files using Audrivana and VLC.

I tried registering at the Audrvana forum (twice) to try and get some help there, but for some reason mods havent accepted me. Especially after reading some of the posts here. I have no problem with the UI, it does take a while to get used (as with any new app) but I think I am having some issues with SQ. I've been using Audirvana PLus 2.0.9 for maybe a week or two now.
