![]() ![]() It's also nice to have if you want to play music remotely on a iDevice or stream your music. JRiver is a marvelous gadget, and I keep a copy handy to catalog my music collection, which is sizeable. I've been experimenting with just about every Mac player out there. Oh, and one other thing, if you have VMWare Fusion on your Mac, it can boot and run the Bootcamp partition in MacOS as well. Works very well with the Windows 10 Tech Preview by the way. Then BootCamp will successfully reparation the drive and install Windows for you. ![]() If you use a local disk, it goes quite fast. Simply boot into the recovery partition, wipe the disk, and restore it from time machine. There are occasional cases where a disk is far too fragmented to successfully re-partition, but this is both rare *and* easily handled. ![]() Bootcamp even takes a Windows ISO and puts it on a bootable USB stick for you, along with all the Apple drivers for Windows. (shrug) I have not met many MacOS users who have a problem doing that. What do you mean- reinstall "system" with bootcamp? Bootcamp is already in every MacOS install, and it is capable of re-partiioning the disk on the fly to build a bootcamp partition. So I suggested him to use Parallels instead. However, I have never seen any OS X user willing to reinstall system with bootcamp to try that no matter how hard I persuade them. ![]() Personally, I listen to my CD player instead of computer audio, but experiment various methods to at least try to equal what I hear from CD/SACD. If SavantGarde doesn't hear a difference, then native sampling rate playback is fine too.Ĭomparing the personal support of A+ and JRMC, I suggest you view posts from member jriver on these pages and draw your own conclusion. This page is a very good reference for upsampling in A+ for those that would like to try. Upsampling allows A+ to remove a haze/digititis that's present on standard playback. Sorry, should have just written plug-ins instead. Others seem to have similar experiences – just read the "Audirvana + 2.0" thread. "Sounds best upsampled 2x" doesn't seem to be an advantage.Īs regards the "Excellent responsive personal support", I have sent the developer a great many reports on bugs and inconsistencies of which as good as none have been addressed. Audio Unit plugins are supported, though. But no doubt the Audirvana software has benefits and nice features.I don't think Audirvana Plus supports VST plugins (JRiver MC does). I'm just not really sure it is worth $70 when you can get FooBar-2000 for Free. So, I don't think it can really add anything, but I think the software makes an effort to clear a path free of obstacles for the sound. That higher priority could help prevent noticeable buffering and delays in the audio. It might also have a way of assigning itself a higher priority relative to where the processing power goes. Many quality audio software products by-pass Windows-OS software. Sometimes, among other things, the Windows-OS software will reduce the Bit/Sample quality of the sound just to make things easier for the OS. I suspect, among other things, it by-passes the Windows software which can deteriorate the signal. Keep in mind the software can not add anything, it can only deteriorate the signal the least. You might be able to Un-install the software and re-install it again for another 30 day trial. I would speculate, that for someone who uses the named Streaming Services, and for someone with a large collection of stored music, this might be worth considering, but just for Streaming, something of a toss up.Īgain, I suggest you download the trial version and see if you feel it is worth the money. I think it is down to whether you want to replace something you get for free with something that cost $75. Though if you have no stored music, perhaps that's not a consideration. I suspect, if you are using a computer as your streamer, perhaps this software can help you better organize your music. Then if you are willing to pay $75, that's your choice. I would suggest that you down load the trial version and see how that goes. Not a user, but my first concern was whether this product actually supported streaming services.īut only three of the High Res Streaming Service - TIDAL, Qobuz, and .īut, the stream is the stream, it can't add quality, it can only reduce the deterioration of the quality. ![]()
