I’m not that much into hi-fi. I listen to music

But with that said.

Living room

2017 MacBook Air, 1,8 GHz Dual Core i5, 8 gb RAM, macOS Monterey 12.0.1
And it runs my music collection from a 400 gb Sandisk SD card from the Air’s card reader

Remote
Nokia 7.2

Connection
Wifi

Speakers
Presonus Eris E4.5 BT, my Mac connects to them through Bluetooth
They aren’t very large speakers, but since I’m renting an appartment and the living room isn’t that large, they are more than enough

Game room/office

Lenovo laptop running Windows 11 Home. 1,8 GHz 8th gen i7 Quad Core CPU, 16 gb RAM
The soundcard I’m using is an Audiotrak Prodigy 24/96 Black Cube Edition.
My music collection is stored on the internal SSD.

Remote
Nokia 7.2

Connection
Wifi, and the soundcard is hooked up through a toslink cable to the amplifier.

Amplifier
Philips FR 966

Speakers
Rank Arena set that I got for free from my dad many years ago

So. Nothing too fancy For me, it’s more than enough.

Edit:
On both systems I have installed AS and 3.5. But to be honest. 3.5 hasn’t been used in months.

Love the KEF LS50 wireless II’s in combination with AS 1.7.2 over UPnP - flawless playback and wonderful sound! Ditto the Mojo and Focal Stellia headphones or Shure KSE1500’s

It sounds well… but I try now too see if it´s worth the money with the Audirvana…
How to make the sound as good as possible with the Audirvana?
I don´t understand this with asio and all the rest… I mostly listen to Tidal…

[Lolodesiles]

What’s your player now ?

To me Audirvana is the best by far ! I’m on v. 3.5 as i don’t stream or even upsample.

My settings are the basics, no change at all.

Asio are the drivers for Windows i guess, as i am on macOS i can’t help you

Difficult to know if it´s worth it if a can´t make the best there can be with my hifi gears…
MacOs is better with this audirvana maybe…
