But with USB, everything works fine - except that the sound is not as good as with Air (in the cases I have managed it to work) and the difference is not subtle. I don’t want to go through the USB route since in the future the computer will be farther than 5 meters from the amp, and also because I don’t want to spend money in specialist USB cables. So, I have the best sound that I have ever heard, but I cannot change resolutions easily, without stopping and starting everything. If the preferred resolution in Air is set to other frequencies (176,4 or 192), then everything is up sampled by Audirvana to that resolution (since the Devialet shows, for example, 192/24 in its screen)- regardless of the Forced upsampling setting in Audirvana. I have to say that the sound with 16/44 material is miles better than with itunes to Air connection. Bei Audirvana für macOS sieht das entsprechende Menü so aus. Test tracks include full CD quality AIFF, FLAC, then, 256. This goes out to (1) ATH ES10, (2) ATH-900X, or my small Marantz MR603 system with Dali Zensor 1 speakers. I use a late 2013 MBP retina going either (A) direct to the headphone jack or (B) connected via USB to a Fostex HPA3. Basically, to change sample rate resolution I need to stop audirvana and air and restart again. I downloaded JRiver to hear for myself, relative to Audirvana. But I can’t get it to play higher resolutions most of the times. To play higher resolutions I need to set Air to these resolutions. If the preferred resolution is 16/44, then everything I send to it is downsampled to 16/44, regardless of original material’s sample rate and regardless of Air “bit perfect” toggle status. (I have not managed to make it work with Direct - integer mode, no matter with the settings in Devialet Air) Preferred resolution has been tried with 16/44, 24/176.4, 24/192Īudirvana is set with all system optimization features on. Itunes works well with Air for all sampling frequencies and bit depths.ĭevialet Air is set with Enable iTunes bit perfect on. ![]() ![]() Linked with direct Ethernet to Devialet 200 through Air 2.0.1Įthernet Cable is a standard Cat7 cable, shielded (as all cat7 are) Huge reduction of sound stops when I did that. All energy saving options have been disabled and the background picture set to no change. Mac mini 2011 with 16 GB RAM and 1tb drive, used at 50%. The beauty of Audirvana 2 is that I can leave iTunes - a software that I have started to hate and actively searched for an audiophile Mac substitution. Audirvana Plus 1. I had them with the previous Audirvana 1.5.12 but I thought it was related to the Itunes integration with Air. I have problems with Audirvana 2 with Devialet Air.
