Worth a go.

I had my IUSB3 lying around after I switched from USB to SPDIF.

works well to my ears.

Regen should also do pretty much the same thing

Hooked up a cheap LG DVD spinner VIA IFI IUSB3 Nano (spare) 2Qute DAC, PI3 Allo Digone signature (Longdog clean side PSU)

I used the IUSB3 just to keep the DVD player off of the PI's VBus.

The Aries is well liked but maybe add a DAC with streaming abilities such as the IFI IDSD pro to your list.I believe it's using a Ladder/delta hibrid which may get you where you want to be.

Hi Bronzeage

The Bifrost arrived safely this morning and as you say it’s in tip top A1 condition.

I have it paying with Allo Digone and stacked with Saga pre (Lyst not tube)great sound out of...

Hi bronzeage

i'll take the Bifrost.

Scroll down to Kernel Streaming.

Just another way of bypassing windows Kmixer and volume control.

It's an oldie but a goodie to my ears.

No but it's working.

So at least you get to try the full fat version with networking and the sound through Volumio is noticeably better with Audirvana in place to my ears.

How is it for you?

Hi Geof

Not wanting to get into a PCM vs DSD up sampling thing I do think that the DAC used has some bearing on the resulting sound with either format.

My IDSD does indeed sound better...

Well Done Grant.


onwards and upwards:)

Ok I've dropped you a PM.

YES I told them to watch out for you:lol::lol:

Seriously it takes a day to allow posting as I remember or they drop you mail.

Don't worry about 1.11 for now.

Ok so far so good.

My hunch.

Could you humour me and check your network permissions.

For Defender its -Settings-Update and Security-Firewall and Network Settings-Allow apps through the...

Hi Grant

If you've not done so already could you give us an idea of how your network is set up.

Give details of all connections.

It may help find what's going on.

Also have you re-named...

I've not tried the SMS200 in SB mode so can't comment.

But you've nothing to loose with the free try out.

Let us know how you get on.

Should get you there Grant.

The album jumbling has just been fixed in 1.11.:)

Your networking issue is strange.

You may find a solution on the Audirvana forum or CA.

Yes auto update.

I leave Audirvana running 24/7 on the headless NUC so needed to restart to get the update.

I like the APP's clean and simple layout but with no OP device selection it makes...

Hi all

Just a quick heads up.

The IOS app is now ready. You just the need to make sure that you have upgraded Audirvana for W10 to 1.10.

Working nicely this end.

I use the above and It's good but needs the pro version of windows 10 on the headless server. Once set up it's rock solid.


I like the convenience of a tablet/pad. Lazy maybe but fast access and...

That's a bit of a shame grant.:(


Maybe a trip to the Audirvana forum will help find the problem.

BTW how are you sending music to Volumio ? I also have Mconect which as you say is a nice App...

Hi Grant

Have you checked that Audirvana network access is not being blocked by Windows Firewall or your anti virus software (malware bytes)?

Could be worth having a quick look at your...

Good Points Grant.

I've hooked up to Tidal trial.

wonder what the differences between Tidal and Qobuz are (if any):eyebrows:

I'll have a play and give some feedback.

Hi Grant

Interesting thoughts on Qobuz and Audirvana Windows.

I’ve been using Audirvana for windows for around a month now and it has improved over that time. Initially it was a little creaky...

And now available for Windows 10 Beta ATM.

Working well for me so far.:)

Not surprised really as some seem to be switching from the URendu.:)

The SMS200 is a really nice sounding unit but it may be better to wait until SOtM bring out their super clock SMS200. Some will...
