#1 Audirvana Warning

Post by David »

Hi All,
A new release of Audirvana arrived the other day and was duly installed. Apart from being full of the usual bugs-playing snippets of other songs than the one selected at a higher level-the sound quality is totally offensive and to my ears, unlistenable.

It took me a while to figure what was wrong, changing DACs etc, but as soon as I switched to I Tunes alone, the sound improved and a switch back to BIt Perfect has restored sonic bliss.

So, be warned. Turn off the automatic update until they've got this one sorted.

So a further update has restored the sonics and ironed out some of the bugs. There is a brief blast of another /or the same track at the beginning of every track but at least it sounds good again.

Seems the last download changed the settings on the inbuilt filters etc, which are now restored. But why is Audirvana doing a lot of signal processing with pre ringing and phase distortion able to be changed?

I thought (naively) the idea was it would get out the least corrupted bits for my DAC to process.......
