Audirvana Owners Thread Hide sidebar Show sidebar. I thought I would start this thread for those using Audirvana or wanting to learn more about it. Audirvana is music streaming software that can be used as an interface for Tidal, Qobuz or your local music library.
It can search thru all music in any of these locations and stream it to your receiver via Bluetooth, Airplay or UPnP network streaming. Obviously, the benefit of using UPnP with the receiver is the music will remain in it's native format. Last edited: Oct 25, All of my browsers failed to work as the internet was down. Yet, the Cello Sonata 1 in E minor parts 1, 2 and 3 continued to play using Audirvana.
The outage was for a full 6 minutes and Audirvana continued to play the Qobuz based music as if no outage existed. If I wasn't looking at my modem and seeing it try to start over and over while the music played I would not have known the connection was down. Audirvana must cache several songs to my drive for this to work.
Even when the modem re-established the internet connection 6 minutes later there was not even a hiccup with the Sonata playing from Qobuz. I think that's pretty amazing. Try to do that with another streamer. Trebdp83 Audioholic Ninja. I think I asked you the same question elsewhere, but can you use an iPhone as a remote control of Audirvana on a Mac so that you can make selections from the iPhone and not from the Mac.
I don't mean Airplay but just a remote function. Trebdp83 said:. Ok, so trying it out for 30 days. Spent the weekend fighting with it and a Mac mini. The iPhone works well but could use some teaks for better layout and a nicer home screen. Settings on the Mac are numerous and I had some difficulties there. Music sounding great over UPnP. Connected Tidal to it.
Going to try Qobuz next. Enjoying Qobuz. The Audirvana app needs work but I like searching within the app for everything. No need to go to Tidal or Qobuz apps. Have had some hiccups but when all works as it should I can grab my phone and go into the app and pick some music to play and it will turn on the receiver and switch to the media server and I can pick from my local library, Tidal or Qobuz.
No unfolding MQA crap with Qobuz. Ok, so no love for Audirvana around here it seems. Roon people. Anyway, tried Audirvana 3. It worked well enough but I had issues I didn't quite understand at the time. Audirvana has now ditched it's old look and come up with Audirvana Studio. The newly revamped control app showed up on Monday so I decided to give Audirvana another try. Because it is a new version, I was still able to get a 30 day trial to check it out. I might get Tidal again at 3 bucks for 3 months through Bestbuy just for more comparisons.
Of course, results will very depending on one's hardware but I did have some issues as the look and feel have changed and it took a bit of time to get familiar with it all. The biggest issue of all was audio output and I'm calling out Apple on this one which seems to happen often this days.
Audirvana will detail the abilities of the connected device's DAC. Unfortunately, Apple no longer includes an optical output port on the mini. Anyway, started a free trial of Deezer lossless since my Onkyo has a built in app for it. I prefer using any built-in app and I like the choice of using a control app or the actual remote control for the receiver.
Qobuz tracks through Audirvana smoked the Deezer tracks. There really was an audible difference to the sound between the services. Deezer didn't sound bad at all and it was only after playing a selected track using Deezer and then using Qobuz via Audirvana that I noticed an improvement to the sound. Remember taking your finger as a kid and speeding up or slowing down a record on the turntable for laughs? It sounds good once adjusted. The real winner here is using UPnP via ethernet or wireless ax.
It just sounds great. The real losers are the software and control apps themselves. They are a bit buggy and slow and just a pain in the ass at times. I'll forgive them and be patient because the music just sounds so damn good. Everything I tried was available via UPnP without being converted. There's much more to it and I'm hardly an expert but like many just want to play music without too much fuss and have it sound great. Installing and setting up Audirvana Studio can be a fuss and it needs some tweaks but it is another option for those who want to bundle streaming services, internet radio and ripped libraries and have access to them via a control app.
Again, results will vary with different pieces of hardware. I'll play with it for the month and see how I feel about it at the end. It's his thread, after all. Pogre Audioholic Slumlord.
