It's sad to see their new Studio software which is trying to rip people off with expensive yearly subscription fee that is equal to the lifetime price of the predecessor. I'm still using the old Audirvana Plus but won't count on their software support for much longer. Any good paid and free...

Hey guys. I just updated my 2011 Macbook Pro to (unofficial) Catalina as well as convert my drive from HFS+ to APFS. So far everything has been working fine and fluently, except Audirvana. Audirvana is a huge laggy mess, even on High Sierra it was but now it's worse. It lags on the album view...

Is DSD in general more quiet than PCM? I have a DAC that outputs 28mW into 300Ohms and my headphones are 470 Ohms at 98dB sensitivity, but surprisingly, it gets very loud even with classical on the PCM side. It still does loud enough on DSD on non-classical music, but with classical, it gets a...

I would like to continue using iTunes. And I'm undecided between using A + in iTunes-integrated mode (but how bad is the skin? Is it possible change it?) Or BitPerfect .. what do you recommend? My setup is Macbook Pro, Dragonfly Red and He-400i. I'm testing A + and I noticed that the sound is...

The only album I have in DSD format is Michael Jackson's Thriller. The DSD 64 version of Thriller doesn't required any gain boost (see this and note the peak 0.0 dB on Billie Jean), however, it seems that by default Audirvana is increasing gain, resulting in clipping. Using an RME ADI-2 DAC...

This combo sure sounds good.Apple has made a big improvement in this latest update and with the latest Audirvana update they sure make sweet music together.Finding it very hard to put my headphones down.
