Thank you Jacob for posting this link. It would also be important that Audirvana slowly gets going, as Roon is also the main competitor. Let me take opportunity a last time to set things straight. In practice never happened. I am still with original firmware.
 
 

The 7 Best Windows Music Players for Hi-Res Audio.Audirvana + Pioneer NAE + Tidal MQA – Tidal – Audirvana

Do you have this information only for this album or for other MQA album? With MQA the frequency and bit depth of the tracks can only be seen when they are played. Audirvana and other apps like USB Player pro are tools used by audiophiles. Tidal native app is used by all kind of people and there is no numbers usually in the app to confuse users. This is great hobby for me. But always I stick to listen critically to use Audirvana 3. Tidal has better library and for me sound of Tidal was closer to analog.

I found Qobuz sound more detail and maybe more tiering for long listening. But I never heard Qobuz thru Audirvana and soon I will try it. This MQA subject is a big mystery and there is no answer I think to explain actually what is happening during streaming of this files thru different devices which including decoder or renderer built inn in application or imbedded in hardware like for LG V 50 phone.

I noticed that different albums behaving differently on each device. The result I reached is attached picture. If not let me know. I will try to upload them again. Good luck. To clarify a bit: MQA is an end to end system, taking care of the complete digital path from analog input to analog output.

If people just listen and read some explanation of MQA before posting about disappointment, discussion would be more mature. Which DAC are you using? Not MQA. Can you tell me one more thing please Antoine? Is there a difference in quality when I use the apple parametric eq plugin or a paid one like the voxengo? The difference between two plugins are often relying on customization of settings, not the sound quality,the parametric eq from Apple is a really basic eq.

With plugins like voxengo you can customize more easily and with more flexibility your settings. Thank you. That does also work with the apple AU. Is there any Parametric EQ thats free or reasonably priced or free to be used in Windows 10 with Audirvana? Hello wiseguy , have you tried the plugins from tonebooster? Any other suggestions? Any better suggestions or maybe try to build Parametric EQ inside the Audirvana suite?

Perhaps something less expensive? Enable exclusive access and try again. Enabled…no luck. Also, the skipping and stuttering, issue 4 , is still present. You can download some samplers from here: For MQA to work you need to play bit-perfect. One more thing you can try is to toggle the integer mode. Did you disable the EQ? Are you using this firmware from Topping? Yes, my D90 is already running v1.

For them the biggest benefit is that the cover all subscription tiers with the same file. I did that mistake once with HDCD. I noticed that different albums behaving differently on each device.
