Post thread. Digital TV Services. What Earns The Title “Audiophile”? Started by Freddy Jul 25, Replies: Kef ls50 meta cone cracking Started by rayolight May 17, Replies: Latest posts. Sky Q box causing wifi problems Latest: Samd A moment ago. Latest: Romulus 20 minutes ago. April 4, , AM I found this googling on the topic. We just recently upgraded our home theater speaker such that now we once again sitting at home and enjoy listening to music.
Normally I listen to music in my high end car stereo system while driving. I was a longtime Spotify premium member but first found Tidal and even without hardware to decode MQA found it to produce a much better sound. Then I found Qobuz and I’m able to stream that directly to my Onkyo receiver via dlna and it works great, sounds markedly better than Tidal. So, I’d decided to go with Qobuz, connecting it to my receiver via dlna using the mconnect app.
Then I kept hearing about Audirvana so installed a free trial of that and first tried it directly from my laptop over my computer bookshelf speakers. Definitely a positive difference vs playing through the native Qobuz app. Then I tested the same songs to my home theater system using mconnect and then the Audirvana remote app.
No question Audirvana sounds better, warmer and richer, the mids and highs not as shrill. And Roon has no dlna support and I’m not interested in buying something like a Blusound 2i.
So, in the car, just streaming directly from Qobuz on my iphone to my Pioneer head unit. And it sounds amazing. And it sounds fabulous. I really like what Qobuz is doing, I like that it’s not using MQA, and I like that their recommendations aren’t trying to shove hip hop and rap down my throat like Tidal does. I’m more a combo of classic rock, classic jazz and classical. A given listening session might have Springsteen, Supertramp, Coltrane and Bach, lol.
I’d love to hear what other Qobuz subscribers are doing and how they utilize the service. I think Qobuz is going to take a lot of business from Tidal. April 4, , PM Roon-Audirvana-Jriver Welcome!

Sincerely, The Audioshark. Newest Posts. Lumin P-1 arrives tomorrow Today, AM. I’ve used JRMC in the past but found that their interface was not as intuitive as I would have liked. Based on what I’ve got and what I want, what would you recommend and why? Location: Michigan, USA. I wouldn’t bother with Plex. It’s awesome for video content, but it’s really not made for music. As for your others, the only one I have used is Roon, and I love it, but I do suspect it would have trouble with your classical library.
You could give the free trial a go and see how it handles it. I’ve been super happy with my lifetime subscription, but I got in before the price increases. However, if I was presented with that option now, I would still do it. DyersEve , Jun 29, Rolltide likes this. Location: Katy, TX. I use JRiver, but it’s more of Swiss Army knife than it is strictly for music. I use it mostly for audio, but my brother uses it mostly for video.
You can link a tablet or a smart phone to control it, so you don’t really need to output to video to play music, but it’s best to use the video interface for setting it up. As far as setting it up, you could consult the forums at the JRiver for instructions on how to set it up. There are countless thread there.
And if you can’t find what you’re looking for ask, somebody will have a solution. But JRiver is really nice if you want to cue up albums. It’s really easy to add albums or songs at the end of the playlist. You could get a streaming deck, but I have computers laying around and JRiver will run on even the most modest systems. It’ll run on a raspberry pi, so really it doesn’t need much at all.
Yes it does take some time to get it work properly, but once you have it set up, it’s easy to maintain and just works really well. Kal Rubinson , gd0 and wolfyboy3 like this. Location: Miami, FL.
I have used Plex, JRiver, and Roon. However, if later iterations of Audirvana Studio can retain its excellent sound quality, increase its catalogue and improve its UI to be as good as Spotify or Tidal or Roon, I will quickly subscribe to it.

I do own both (Audirvana 1 & 2, JRiver 18, 19 & 20). should consider trying trial J River for Windows with free version of Fidelizer.

Audirvana Studio vs Roon. June 27, The question every music streaming enthusiast is asking is: How does it compare with Roon? Next article Roon with HQPlayer sounds good. Stay Connected. Must Read. Gelombang Lineup of artistes performing. Gelombang List of participants so far.
Arcam SA More than a normal integrated amplifier. Related articles. Location: Halifax, N. I found J-River great for that purpose but was tired of having a separate routine for using Spotify as I started streaming more and more. Both J-River and Roon handled my whole house streaming duties mostly well with some expected hiccups along the way.
But Roon still handles all my whole home streaming when I need that as well. I still use J-River as kind of a back up system should Roon have any issues. The Roon user interace is much prettier J-River can be intimidatingly “computer-ish”. I hope my story helps with your choice.
Reckoner , Jun 29, Location: Vallejo, CA. Rolltide , Jun 29, Location: Savage. Roon hands down is the winner. F2k is a good free solution but really clunky in my view. JRiver tagging is perfectly simple to use. I miss it. The downside of JRiver is they won’t ever work with anyone else and won’t even entertain the idea.
No integration with internet streaming. No integration with sending the output stream to another software upsampler. Their answers are always a hard no to any external innovation involving sharing.
Audirvana, the old version not studio, works but it doesn’t really integrate your library with streaming. They are two different categories. You search your library or you search your streaming but not both at the same time. Roon does all that, except easy tagging. It works with external vendors unlike JRiver. Search a song or artist and it searches everywhere, your library and your streaming connection and then returns all options. And you can save searches as bookmarks.
A simple point and click will pull up a previous saved search. I was on the fence with Roon for years until I finally dug into and understood what it is. It’s a search db with links and suggestions for similar things. It allows you to get lost in dives into similar artists, genres and songs. The others aren’t in Roon’s space even though they share similar options.
Kyhl , Jun 29, Location: Mass. Is your PC connected wired or wirelessly? Variations in CPU load during playback will be beyond Audirvana’s control as they will be caused by the operating system and other software. The rest of the quote has a feel of the same kind of, blind the customer with pseudoscience waffle, that high-end cable manufacturers use. I did however try running the free trial, except Audirvana refused to allow me to add my music to it’s library.
The instructions online state that one should click the “add a folder” button under “local”, there was no such button and I am really not bothered enough to do anything about it. Foobar just works and works well. One thing a computer is designed to do above all else, because otherwise it simply would not work, is work with ones and zeros without them becoming corrupted.
Indeed it does, I don’t pay for software when the free trial doesn’t work properly! I really don’t care what you think but, I followed the instructions provided on the website. Don’t expect any further responses, I’m done with this and, done with this website. Too many idiots who stoop to insults when they don’t get agreement. Office Dog Well-known member.

Audirvana jriver free
Only difference: I use Sennheiser HD as headphones. Thank you! I am new here and just learning how to navigate thru this forum. Really appreciate your help providing those links. I downloaded that package for mac also. Planning to get new Mac mini. Now Windows only Just bought license last Tuesday. Grab at Seems the promise to keep it free kinda got forgotten about over the years…Oh well thats progress.
Its the 17th here where I am and still no Studio download. Is there going to be a drop time posted? Well I am trying to be positive! There is so many possibilities how to configure up sampling that I stopped to believe that is actually working and than BINGO! Same computer with Zen Dac connected is working right away correctly with no tweaking anything. But real test for me was to check how this software can help plain pc sound built onboard. It would be good think to have some kind of manual to help understand how to play with all these settings available!
That was Give the man a break. Audirvana has turned out to be a beautiful software solution for computer driven audio files. Since it has evolved into an extremely beautiful and sophisticated solution… and getting better every day. One must be nuanced when wanting everything to be perfect. It gets perfected with each iteration. Meaning… we realised perfection is attained over time and experience. As for your others, the only one I have used is Roon, and I love it, but I do suspect it would have trouble with your classical library.

I have used Plex, JRiver, and Roon. Just get Roon. Yeah, its a little expensive but you may never need another piece of software for your music. The highest tier Audirvana looks very comparable to Roon, but I have not used.

I plugged in my HDS and tried various levels with different songs and totally fell in love with it. Audirvana Plus – I absolutely love this player. Standalone, combining my iTunes library and Tidal in one app is simply brilliant, the UI is slick and on point. Also like the fact I can have it run in the background and simply use iTunes as normal if I wish to.
The killer is the lack of a crossfeed feature. I don’t like the UI, most of the time at a desk I use my studio monitors for music playback. Thank you in advance. If there are any other recommendations for other AU plug-ins please let me know or I will purchase CanOpener before the trial runs out in 15 days.
I’ve never been a fan of crossfeed. However here’s another free one. There is an option to perfectly balance the spectral frequency response so you don’t get the bloated bass of traditional crossfeed systems It maintains a true “stereo” feel despite headphones being binaural – You don’t shrink the imaging, rather pull it out of head and cut down on the crazy binaural separation and nasty hard panned instruments that just don’t sound natural Overall, it’s very well done crossfeed.
I couldn’t imaging going back to regular listening after having become accustomed it. You have to get acquainted with it to truly appreciate what it’s doing. Some people have been quick to dismiss it as “not doing very much” – well that’s the whole point – it only does what’s necessary to keep hard panned or modulated instruments more coherent.
