![]() ![]() ![]() IMHO, if you already have 3.5 lifetime purchased and are happy with it, subscribing for studio will not provide with any added benefits. Once you get past the sleek UI, it somehow feels like old candy wrapped in new paper. Maybe manually adding the URL with Metadata will fix it partly but album cover still looks doubtful.ĥ. But personally for me both are not worth the money over the Cambridge streammagic app. (But not really worth it to have a computer running for it) I think Roon has some nice features for people that really use that stuff. Default RadioParadise has no Metadata or album cover support. And I feel like that audirvana has the advantage when it comes to soundquality. As of date only app available for download load is the old one which doesn't connect with Studio.Ĥ. Audirvana website mentions a new? mobile app. Still no auto tagging, album cover search etc.ģ. It is a beta release without the beta tag.Ģ. Feature which checks music files (local only) for encoding quality (did I get it right?).ġ. Audio setting is laid out in a easy to use interfaceĤ. Now being a subscription model, they should have done better! Or do they expect customers to subscribe and then wait for problems to get fixed? Here are my observations:Ģ. I installed Audirvana Studio and it came out as a software which was released in a hurry. If that doesn't happen then the company will become a shell of it's former operation. It may take a while to build back Audirvana customer satisfaction. It's pretty evident the guys at Audirvana did not think through the rejection they are receiving or place any real value on existing customers. It seemed to cause the moderator to grimace in pain a few times. During the webcast announcement for Audirvana studio there was a lot of negative comments from existing users. The company is taking a big risk with existing customer satisfaction and giving Roon a lot of opportunity. The product change might kill off most of the existing Audirvana users as it's obvious they don't want to go down the subscription route. It's a nice feature but certainly not worth $70 a year over my 3.5 version. My 3.5 version only allows playlists of steaming media OR a separate playlist for local ripped CD's. We aren't too bothered about the lack of a display on the Bluesound Node 2i for this price, it's hardly a dealbreaker. It has slick design, and a great app in BluOS. The sound is rock-solid, with excellent dynamic range. ![]() A two-tiers subscription model, where you can pay more if you need web-based services, but you can also pay less, if you don’t need them.Audirvana Studio adds the ability to create playlists that combine ripped CD's as well as Qobuz/Tidal streams. It's compatible with virtually all major streaming services, is Roon Ready, and handles hi-res file formats like a pro. A wishlist website where customers who support the business can submit requests, vote for them, see the upcoming new features ahead of time. A decent permanent license software that works. I am sorry to say that for me to be willing to commit to a subscription-based model, the bar should be raised higher: no way to parse all metadata, only the main ones. It plays only the selected track and then it stops, I can hardly believe it works this way. Very nice This iteration of the remote app, working on a iPad Pro, is about as great as it gets. This remote app makes the system quite complete. ![]() VPI industries, Vroemen, VS Audio Design, VTL tube amplifiers. Poor display of metadata, with inline scrolling and poor usage of screen estate. Being able to sit far away from the display and control the Mac app really completes the MBP as the center of my audiophile music system. Musikserver, Software, - Audirvana Lizenz, - ROON Lizenz, - Sonstige Lizenzen. Roon is subscription-based music playback software that, unlike online music service subscriptions (like Spotify, TIDAL, etc.), contains no music. no way to jump backward/fwd in playback using arrow keys, which is the minimum I’d expect from a music player. Search by name is broken, you select one album in the search results, and it still takes you to a list that includes all albums, so you have to choose again. Those like me who supported Audirvana+ over the years are now left with two choices: pay a high monthly fee for a service they don’t need, or keep using Audirvana+, aware of the fact that it’s not going to get any support and improve over time. A large portion of the UI in Audirvana studio is dedicated to streaming services that I am not interested in (considering the poor quality of masters you are going to get on those services), but you still have to deal with a UI and monthly-based subscription model that forces you into the online steaming model. Audirvana founder Damien may have done a fantastic job at developing the best music player on the market, but sadly, the software is plagued by usability issues and generally speaking, a mediocre user experience. ![]()
