So typically Audirvāna M.O. Let’s drop the major update / new product on a Friday and check out for the weekend. Unbelievable that they keep doing the same thing with the same results. Hopefully someone can help out or you lose the weekend of your free trial.
I stand corrected good of @Antoine to come in on the weekend to massage a few bugs.
@Antoine, this seems like a good idea to me, at least in theory. I have a pretty large, local music library, and it would be great to have a new software that allows me to efficiently browse and navigate it.
My two obvious questions, which will come as completely no surprise to anyone who has seen any of my previous posts, are, does it have a Column Browser, like the one in iTunes/ Apple Music/ TimmyTunes, like Audirvana Plus always did (and still does, currently running flawlessly for me), and does it actually work with the MicroRendu/ other UPnP devices, like Audirvana Plus also does?
If the answer is “yes”, to both of these, I might consider the free trial. Without checking both boxes, it’s a nice idea, on which I will most likely pass.
Thanks to anyone who can provide informative responses!
Hello everyone, Mac M1, dac RME ADI2 FS, all music on SYNOLOGY
no problem for installation it works perfectly, the search by folder is really perfect, too bad for the price a bit high.
I’m still testing 15 days.
I wanted to buy this kind of dac but didn’t have the money. Great!
It is exactly the same as Audirvana Studio, just remove the podcasts, radios, streaming services and Musicbrainz extra tags.
As of right now, no column browsing (I understand this is important for you, I honestly don’t know if it’s the case for many people). Only folder trees (but it’s not new).
For UPnP my experience (with my beloved Yamaha WXC-50) is still not as good as it could (wrong displayed track, can’t scroll within a track, sometimes playing time is shown sometimes not, I haven’t got the “stop at the end of a track and not playing the next one” yet but I suppose it’s coming too). Audirvana Origin still has to deal with the various flawed implementations of UPnP around, as it’s still not a UPnP Server.
really the best
@Yohmi , thanks for the info, Sounds like the name should be Studio Lite perhaps. This now makes a lot of sense as to why the Studio updates have been so local library centric as of late. This and the Japanese product are at the front of the focus evidently. Hope your test goes well, take care.
Click on the little lock 
on right side to stop. Yes it’s goofy for certain
Every other piece of equipment uses a square as stop, universal language SMH
Thx OffRode - that works…
I have one more remark with Origin. I used small freware app Lyrics with old 3.5.50 to have lyrics displayed. I know it is probably due to update of app itself but just to note it doesn’t work with Origin - pitty. Does anyone have some other solution to display lyrics with Origin?
Antoine has created a new category for Origin , we should move to post for support and opinions over there.
I am still on 3.5 and are happy with it. I only use local library so Origin looks like it is targeted to my usecase. Been reading up on Origin and this thread and I am sorry, I do not understand why I would replace 3.5 at this time?
We had to make decisions about this, we always need to prioritize things and since we took the feedback from users very seriously, the choice was made to first focus on Audirvāna Studio before releasing a product like Origin.
And I can guarantee you that we are working on really nice features that will comes in 2022 
Haha. Yeah, no thanks, @Yohmi.
If I could post a screen recording here, to show the speed and efficiency, with which I can navigate my library and propagate my play queue, using a good, old-fashioned column browser, versus whatever other nonsense, “reinvent the wheel”, “fix everything that isn’t broken” approach @Antoine and @Damien seem to advocate, I would. You would note about a tenfold increase in the time it takes to accomplish simple tasks, without a column browser.
Sorry, but I’ve been using one since I started using iTunes in 2003. To ditch it now, in favor of some Fisher-Price, millennial catnip hieroglyph jumble simply makes no sense to me. Thanks, but I’ll proudly continue counting myself among the literate people of the world, who enjoy words and efficiency in their software interfaces. Simply put, if the Audirvana team really wanted to market a software to those of us with large, local libraries to manage, they would include the OPTION for users to choose to use a column browser to do so, the same way Apple, a much larger company, did, when they tried to abandon it, in 2019.
The lack of resolution to the UPnP issue, coupled with simply foisting all of those problems into yet ANOTHER deeply flawed release, just seems like another example of not seeing the forest for the trees, on the part of this company.
Thank you for answering my questions.
Guys let’s move over to new category
This product have been here since a month in Japan and the volume of support mail I had was not what you think. So no, releasing a product on Friday was a choice. There may be some issue related to users and we are working on it.
Absolutely your choice sir, glad to see you on duty. Have a good weekend and Easter Sunday.
