![]() ![]() And they shouldnt offer the credit to everybody. At the end of the day, it is technically two different products. It seems like small consolation to some recent and longtime users but they don’t HAVE to offer this credit. But I will always have 3.5 whether it is improved upon or not. ![]() It will definitely have to knock my socks off in performance and user experience. I will use the credit until it runs out at which choice I will decide whether Studio is worth it to me or not. I am going to buy 3.5 before Sunday before I can’t buy it anymore since it is all I actually want and need at the moment and because Audirvana will let recent purchasers translate the full purchase amount into Studio subscription credit. I also needed to try a few different cables around my house until everything just worked and there were no pops, stalls, track skipping etc. I run everything at DSD512 and sometimes PCM 768k without hassles. ![]() Everything from uPnP between floors into my Oppo BDP105D (nope! sounded and worked like junk) to wired everything (smooth but too much hassle) to ultimately a system where my computer pulls in Tidal through Audirvana wirelessly but a USB cable does run to my DAC (Topping D90/non MQA, latest Thesycon ASIO drivers, Windows 10, 8GB ram on a 10 year old tower). I’ve spent almost two months trialing Audirvana in various configurations and between three computers (that’s how I got two months, it resets with each new computer). I’ve spent far too much time thinking about it since Sunday and for me and my brain (and for maybe others) it will be best to treat 3.5 and Studio as two separate products. This solution may have to suffice in the short term however as there doesn’t appear to be that many alternatives out there. I have tried mConnect but in all honesty didn’t really like the interface. I’m reasonably certain that if I had, a solution would have been forthcoming as JR appear to actually care about their customers. I never in all my years using JR (probably about 10) experienced a situation where an update actually made the software WORSE, pretty much unusable, as 3.5.45 has. I honestly believe he’s missing a trick, especially if he were to visit this forum and see the general disdain that a fair few users are now displaying against Audirvanas blatant money-grab and seeming refusal to listen to existing paying customers problems. As I’ve mentioned previously I found JRiver to be FAR more stable and reliable than Audirvana, and JRemote wasn’t too shabby. If anyone has a chance to post more impressions, I’d be interested to hear more.Yeah I’m aware of Jim’s reluctance (read refusal) to incorporate a ‘streaming’ solution to JRiver. However, I just saw an email that they are going to have an Audirvana Remote app, so that one can control playback on their computer remotely via a smart phone! Wow, this is exactly what I’ve been wanting for years, and amazed that nobody did it before.and now I am interested in trying Audirvana Studio, mostly for this reason alone. My experience obviously did not bode well for this new subscription based Studio, so I thought I would wait and see what others say before trying it myself. I made a genuine and earnest effort to solve these issues on their forum, but after trying many suggestions they had no working solutions, and maybe not so interested since they were preparing this Studio version. But the last version of Audirvana Plus was a mess, I had static, songs skipping or stopping before the end, all kinds of weird stuff that never happened with prior versions. I used older versions of Audirvana for years, and it usually worked well for me. ![]()
