I have mine set to display the library as a Windows tree structure… I like it and find no reason to change players. However, wierder things have happened in this audio world… so… to each his/her own.īTW, foobar has super-fast database organization and management… I don’t know if others are as fast/good, but years ago, foobar was peerless in this aspect. The Direct Stream DAC and Junior take great pains to eliminate jitter and other bit stream related issues. Regarding sound… if the player is passing a bit-perfect stream, it should sound no different from other bit-perfect players. If you are not getting bit-perfect pass through, then check if you have Windows volume up to 100… windows kernal does evil to a bit stream. Playing these files will light up on your display (senior or junior) and let you know if you are getting bit-perfect pass through. PS Audio has files you can play to determine if your system is bit perfect. The Geek Illuminati notes that it is very lite on computer resources. After I turn off Audirvana I noticed occasionally the Printer settings would have to be reset. My problem is that I don’t want my PC in the system, as I prefer to use it for computing. It also has a sliding buffer size tool to help with any juttering you may have using an older, slower computer. I did a brief free Roon trial after installing Audirvana and thought Roon degraded the sound subtly.
#AUDIRVANA PLUS DRIVERS#
I have it configured with a dropdown to select output drivers with a click, so I can select output between my PS Audio DAC, and my Woo Audio headphone DAC/Amp. Further, it has a zillion plugins to play all kinds of crazy files and has file utilities. The good is that you can make it look and handle anyway you like. Question I want Audirvana to run like HiFi-cas, I. HiFi-Cast running on Android finds the Music on the DLNA NAS and plays it right on the UPnP music streamer. Current Status: Audirvana plays well the music stored on the PC hard disk on the UPnP music streamer. The challenge with Foobar is that it is a geek’s tool and requires some configuration to look good, and for that it helps to have some computer savvy. Configuration : NAS (DLNA enabled), Music Streamer (UPnP enabled), Audirvana running on Windows PC, HiFi-Cast running on Android phone.
#AUDIRVANA PLUS INSTALL#
It is fully bit-perfect, but you can install digital equalizer plug-ins if you like. Sorry, I don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I do want to post that there are other options for a player. If anyone is interested in using Foobar with Windows, I can provide to you my configuration files to get you up and running in no time. BTW, yes I am a Foobar evangelist (it is free).
