![]() ![]() Audirvana Plus takes the roles of control point and ad-hoc media server. Streaming is performed using the UPnP/DLNA protocol. The most recent releases of Audirvana Plus can stream audio to exaSound PlayPoint players over wired and wireless home network connections. So DSD over PCM 1.0 is the correct setting”. Since Damien will start beta semi public (need registration) tomorrow of his 3.5 version, i thought it would be good to have a new thread for it. Audirvana Plus is a highend audiophile player for the Mac platform. The DAC recognises it correctly and decodes the DSD signal. Plus it allows real multitasking on the iPad while using it as the remote. This app is minimalistic yet lightning quick and as I said very powerful. It is true DSD signal, just that OSX thinks it is PCM. Qobuz on its own sounds great but does sound even better through Audirvana on my MBP which is connected to Chord Electronics Hugo upsampling M-Scaler. “DoP is a method to encapsulate DSD native signal in PCM stream. This may explain why a DSD 512 DAC can stop at DSD 256, and DSD256 DAC can stop at DSD128.” This can reduce the maximum DSD frequency that can be used with DAC by half compared to the frequency that can be reached under Windows. Please note : The “DSD over PCM” protocol requires markers to identify the signal as DSD, so using this protocol requires double the bandwidth compared to the native DSD signal alone. 1 A Clean Install, where earlier versions of AP 1.x and 2.x are uninstalled and THEN AP 3.0 is installed. However, when in Audirvana 3.5, adding new albums to the database (manual sync) all new albums are added, but old entries in the database vanish right at the start of sync. However, if your DAC is not DSD compatible, Audirvana Plus will perform downsampling to PCM using a very high quality 64 bit algorithm. Setup Instructions The following are examples on each OS X and Windows platform, Audirvana Plus and JRiver media Center respectively (if your program is. Database migration from Audirvana plus 3.2.16 to Audirvana 3.5.9 (OS X) goes well, all albums/tracks are there. In order to get the best possible result, you need to use Audirvana Plus with a Native DSD DAC. Upgrade will be free for customers who have purchased Audirvana Plus 2 since Christmas 2016. “To listen to DSD files from a DAC, Audirvana Plus transmits the DSD files to the DAC using the “DSD over PCM” protocol that requires markers, and using this protocol requires twice the bandwidth over the native DSD signal only. Audirvana Plus 3.0 is scheduled for release end of January 2017. Since encoding DSD into DoP requires twice the bandwidth, when using NuPrime’s DAC with Mac OSX, the support of DSD is limited to half of the maximum decoding capability of the DAC.
