So, if push comes to shove I'll ditch Audirvana. Qobuz on its own provides significant value for me. But the pricing does, somewhat.įor me, I must now pay Audirvana and Qobuz nearly $20/month, altogether. The move to a subscriber model doesn't bother me. I have used Audirvana for years, with iTunes and Qobuz.

So at this early stage I am really like using Studio and will gladly pay the subscription rate if no tedious software issues. I haven't had any problems so far, but they would be a deal-breaker. I'm also concerned by comments relating to issues of compatibility with the MacBook. This is the Benchmark Audio support model which, for me, distinguishes real customer support from the community approach that is merely a convenience to the company. I preferred sending in a question and Damien, et al, responding. Now, what I don't like is the vague support system which seems to rely on the "community". I hope to have more to say on this down the road. The Studio download went fine and, though early days, I am very impressed with Studio over Plus. I am running the Benchmark amp and DAC3L with the LA4 preamp to be added soon. As a long-time Tidal subscriber, I have no issues with subscriptions so long as there is performance value for the investment. I was surprised by the subscription business model and to learn that my current software is now a "legacy". I've used Audirvana for years, but less so over the last several months.

Ditto Apple’s App Store where Audirvana Remote is a free upgrade for anyone who paid for the outgoing A+ Remote app.Īnd for those still kicking it old school, Audirvana’s iTunes library sync is MacOS Catalina ready.Audirvana has no equalizer, no trendy special effects, just the best sounding music Search ‘Audirvana Remote’ on the Google Play Store and expect to pony up US$8.99/€9.99. However, the bigger Audirvana news is a fully redesigned remote control app for iOS and (for the first time) Android.

The new version fully aligns Audirvana’s feature set with that of the MacOS app, this time around adding internal volume control, replay gain support and album art adjustment. Plisson and his team will also be showcasing Audirvana v3.5 for Windows – a free upgrade for all existing Windows license holders. In essence, Audirvana hi-fi-s your computer. At booth 3-13, Damien Plisson finds himself on home turf, demonstrating how Audirvana (€75/US$79), a playback app and library manager with UPnP and streaming service integration, bests the sound and functionality of iTunes on a Mac. It’s the end of another working week in France and Paris AV Show exhibitors are busy setting up for a long weekend of high fidelity listening.
