Hello,
My setup is experiencing a very important noise issue while playing DSD or ISO files with Audirvana. The problem can be seen at Noise video
Audirvana runs in a Mac Mini MD387 with 4 Gb of Ram memory.
The Dac is a Mcintosh C47
Thank you in advance if you can help me with this.
Best regards
GAbriel
Hello @gabote,
Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info”? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info
Note: By clicking on the Debug Info button, Audirvana automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message

Does it happen in DSD 64, 128, 256 or 512 or with any type of DSD?
Hello, @Antoine, I only have DSD 64 files in my library, so I’m not able to confirm what happens with the others. I’ll try to get one DSD 128 and let you know what happens.
I have had something similar. Try to disable the integer mode, that helped in my setup.
Hello there! Just in case someone has had the same problem, It was solved in my case by upgrading the RAM memory of my 2012 Mac Mini to 16 Gb, Audirvana works perfect now. Cheers
