Audirvana Studio first feedback

[bdugardin]

Hi,
I test Audirvana Studio at the moment.
First, the sound playback is great !
Difficult to be sure if it’s better or equal to Audirvana 3.5, but the first sound impressions are really good.
Some small bugs for the moment (refreshing display for example) … and a more important one concerning the radio playback. One a the major reason I want to switch to Audirvana Studio is radio playback capabilities. I listen to FIP (French radio). In Audirvana Studio, I can find the two available stream - mp3 or aac. The aac stream couldn’t be played … Audirvana studio stream only the mp3 stream … that’s bad.

Congrats Damien !
Bertrand

On a German forum I compared Jriver with Audirvana 3.5 with a turntable. https://www.aktives-hoeren.de/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9462&start=135 Of course, the same recordings were used. Taking all shortcomings of that comparison into …

Of course … but it’s mine.
