Can Audirvana studio and Audirvana 3.5 live on the same machine (iMac BigSur) ?

Both are living happily on my Mac Mini, with no problems switching between the two.

Thanks for this answer. I will trial Studio so.

Make sure you read the ‘Transparency on what Studio is analyzing the library for’ thread before you do.
All sorts of problems with regard to metadata being added to your existing audio files when initially starting AS.

and make sure you let the sqlite database of A+ alone. So you have to synchronize your files to Studio anew. Then A+ and Studio will be able to live together on the same machine. This is how I did a comparison between A+ and Studio.

Same thing for me, and same remark for “and make sure you let the sqlite database of A+ alone”. I have used a dedicated Mac mini with Mojave to have Direct Mode enabled in both 3.5 and Studio.
