The interface is practical not beautiful, version 3.5 will take care of the looks soon, it’s affordable and new major version updates are paid. It.s licensed in anual subscription model or a lifetime purchase optionĪudirvana is a simple audiophile player, it is very easy to use, install and configure, if you serve your music from a NAS scanning wil be slow, even navigation on your music library covers will be slow, the sound is also very good and more musical than roon, stability is good not on par with roon, support is noting to grab about. It’s a more complex piece of software, but very well made. You can serve your library to different devices at the same time and each one playing a different song including mobile devices, it gives the possibility of create various home users so they can have their own playlists and favorites. Roon is also very stable and sounds very good, Mobile roon apps work perfectly and look good. Roon it,s beautiful, fast, features are added in a regular basis, Room support is very good and has a very active user forum. I find each software has good points and bad points. Can do this currently at home but I haven’t tried.īut as previous person stated if just going to use one computer, Audivana is best choice. Probably similar setup for android phones. Mobile support should be coming soon so can play your roon library on the go and if hook lighting camera connector and a dac to iPhone would be able to output MQA or upsample sound. Can also combine areas to play same music in more than one spot. Can play music on my headphone setup while my wife plays different music at same time in living room. I’ve also expanded to use an old iPhone and iMac to send music throughout the house. Roon also has its only upsampler that sounds pretty good. Roon just added MQA support so I can unfold MQA files and then have HQPlayer upsample. It could play ALAC files and Tidal thru HQPlayer.

I then found HQPlayer and it sounded amazing but terrible interface and didn’t work with ALAC files. I then moved onto Audiivana and really liked it but always seems a little bright in my system no matter the setting. It seems that’s still the case with their latest software. I had older version of Amarra and it sounded great but had too many bugs.

Audirvana plus 3.2.7 crack
