Hi, I signed up for a trial back in July but was never able to get it to execute. I got the notice “trial about to end”, and also the survey. I indicated on the survey this issue, but never heard back from Audirvana.
I have not followed up until now because I did not have my equipment purchased. Now that I have my integrated amp and DAC I would like to test out the software with my actual environment.
I already have a Tidal subscription, and I want to compare it with the Tidal app as to what works best in my environment. I also have a Peachtree Nova integrated amp, which is directly recognized by my MAC and the Tidal app, so frankly, I am not sure I why I need Audirvana.
Thanks a lot bitracer. That’s what I was thinking as well, but wasn’t sure if I was missing something. I might at some point consider Qobuz, or other, but it would likely replace Tidal, rather than supplement it. I do have all of my cds ripped losslessly (AIFF) on a hard drive, but still pondering why I’d play those when I can mostly find them (ostensibly) at same or higher resolution on Tidal…
For me, Audirvana is the best way to use Qobuz and local files. Audirvana runs on a Mac mini.
with the remote control I can start all files and the playlists.
I can use Dirac via the VST.
The combination of Direct mode over USB and Dirac make it a huge improvement in terms of audio quality.
