Settings for Arcam Solo Music

hjs · June 16, 2020, 7:29pm

Hi there.
I’m using Audirvana on a Windows 10 tablet. What are the best settings? I have a Arcam Solo Music and a Qobuz Sublime license.

Hello @hjs,

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

Enable DLNA in the setting and try to stream to it from Audirvana.

Hi Damian,
Thanks for your reply.
Here is the info You asked for:
What happens is sometimes a faltering sound. And I can’t find a setting for gapless playback.

I can see the debug info have the information of your DAC but it doesn’t see it connected, can you make sure you can select it in Audirvana?

hi,
I pasted the info another time with the Arcam switched on and connected.

Hello @hjs,

You can try to enable upsampling in the audio output settings in Audirvana. When you have more than a track in your play queue, does it goes to the next track?

hjs · June 23, 2020, 12:56pm

Hi,
Most of the time it goes to the next track on the playlist. Wich choice is the best when upsampling is enabled? “Device maximum frequency”?

Antoine · June 23, 2020, 1:02pm

You can start with “Power of 2” then if it’s working you can try “Device maximum frequency” but if you have playback issue with either of those settings you will have to disable upsampling.
