Thus, even without an MQA-enabled DAC, listeners can expect to hear enhanced sound. The MQA Core decoder's initial file "unfold" is claimed to recover all direct music-related information and make it available for either analog or digital output at 88.2 or 96kHz. is anywhere near as extensive as what Roon currently offers is another matter. Whether Audirvana's latest library management system etc.
In addition to optimizing sound quality and authenticating file provenance, Audirvana Plus 3 claims to include "a complete library management system with full metadata and cover art display" for music that is either stored locally or streamed, and integration with premium streaming services such as Tidal and Qobuz. To quote the press release, issued jointly by London-based MQA and Paris-based Audirvana, Audirvana's MQA Core decoder "enables the first origami 'unfold' and also authenticates the file using a blue or green light to confirm that the sound is identical to that of the source material." This time around I'm keeping it.The recently-released Audirvana Plus 3 has become the first desktop music player for MacOS to include an integrated MQA Core decoder.
I love the deep preferences, support for ReplayGain information. It doesn't sync perfectly with iTunes (last played metadata doesn't seem to update after the initial sync), but it's pretty darned good. Audirvana really looks smashing with support for dark mode. Maybe I'm just so sick of the lame iTunes UI and UX.
This time it's really found a home with me. I've given Audirvana Plus a couple of test drives over the years, but previously decided to just stick with iTunes, warts and all. Also UI, while pretty enough I suppose, actually is fairly unwieldy. I downloaded and installed Fidelia and Audirvana Plus test drives.įidelia is OK, but it is conspicuously missing support for ReplayGain on playback. I decided to give iTunes alternatives another go. All the other Audirvana threads are closed. Mac OS kept nagging me about it, so it was time to make a change.īut that's not what this thread is about. The TC sounded perfectly fine, but it required an applet to configure certain system settings like bit depth and playback frequency. So I finally upgraded my playback interface from an older TC electronics firewire to an RME Babyface Pro.
