Audirvana Studio and What it Means for Audirvana 3.5 Users

Yes, that worked for me as well.

@Antoine, we understand that you are flooded with messages and it’s impossible to answer them all. However, I would recommend a general response on all the negative feedback on the subscription model and an alternative for all the long time users and supporters of the Audirvana who are not willing to subscribe to Audirvana Studio.

P.S. And please resolve the UPnP issues (e.g. defects in volume control) in Studio. Might be a good idea to reactivate the v3.5 code if that‘s compatible.

And a quick addition:

@Antoine, please attend to the broken functionality that we bought in version 3.5 of the app before moving on with your new software coding!

I for have done both (owned a software company, now retired)
 and most of the suggestions I read are quite good and actually make good and basic business sense. Especially from the sensibility of branding, i.e. know your audience.

On a personal note why do you (Jim_F) keep writing these things that do not help the conversation move forward? No one is insulting Damien, everyone here has talked many times to others and been helpful with many issues. Why do you continue to suggest that these good people do not have valid concerns?

p.s. Jim_F please stop flagging my posts as inappropriate.

@Joamato-- sort of what I have experienced but it would have been nice if Apple explained how they hid my iTunes library which I spent 2 full NFL seasons on Sundays ripping my 800 CDs into–happily all those CDs can be streamed now but it would nice to revisit them every now and then

That’s my same feeling. It sound absurd that you ask for a lifetime license and after few months stop developing the app. That’s very close to a fraud. Moreover the link to download the “old” 3.5 for Win is disappeared from the website. Hey Audirvana team, seems we have to ask our attorney?

Leaving current lifetime paid user with unsupported software is equivalent to taking customers money and laughing at them. Especially, if you just recently paid for 3.5 and then studio comes out and it doesn’t support your OS like 3.5 does. To do this without warning or any options except being forced into a subscription based model and software that leaves customers that can’t upgrade is not the way to do business as a software developer.

@Antoine I have noticed that it’s now possible to subscribe. However, I don’t see how 3.5 license owners get the discount for $50 for the year. Is that offer available?

Just deleted the Studio app. Don’t want subscription software on top of subscription to a content priovider, let alone software that drowns you in too many features and uses far too many system resources. Sorry Damien, you pushed it too far. I suggest you team with Qobuz and offer a decent player - content package focussed on sound quality instead.

@RickB& @Antoine : I don’t either— even went to “manage my subscription/account” but it doesn’t exist on A+3.5.46 as suggested on AudiophileStyle AND on STUDIO application WEB page it asks to click if “if you already have a 30day free trial OR are already a member of Audirvana Family click here” I did and it says “no account associated with this user ID” which is my email address(doesn’t even work if I click “forgot your password”) it says “no user found with this email” even after I entered the verification code sent to my email !!—I have been a member of this ‘family’ since (I think) 2013 !!

Update of Windows Studio is blocked. Message says to dowload and install locally. Do I download a Trial version? If I try to browse from Bitdefendter to add an exception, the apps on the browse window is not showing. I can’t find Audirvana studio. I can see it on the start menu, but not from Bitdefender browse. Audirvana has always been dificult to work with.

Windows 7,10, 11


.It makes everything a Royal PITA , YMMV

Windows user since 3.1

I can’t log into any place to purchase A+ Studio

You cannot “purchase” Studio - you can only subscribe to it.

Yes, and you can’t buy Audirvana 3.5 anymore, just hope it will be updated (Check the user’s voice thread for the discussion)

3.5 has received an update a few weeks ago. But I don’t expect it to happen that often. It’s basically discontinued.

Juste un simple merci, pour avoir “retro-pĂ©dalĂ©â€ sur le format souscription annuelle et ainsi avoir proposĂ© une version License “normale” avec Origin. M’étant Ă©cartĂ© d’Audirvana Ă  cause de ce premier choix, je suis revenu volontiers en testant actuellement la version d’essai d’Origin, qui est trĂšs prometteur !
Bien Ă  vous,
