Roon vs audirvana vs jriver free.Audible difference in players? (Audirvana, JRiver, Roon, MusicBee, etc.)

  Sep 26,  · I am running from a PC, but the difference here is mind-bending.

Jan 02,  · I was a Jriver user for years and a skeptical Roon free-trial user. Once I tried Roon there was just no going back. Their server/client model is just rock stable.

I immediately stopped my Roon free trial when I discovered their well known group playback clock sync issues with Bluesound. They advertise it as a feature which I would have liked but it's unresolved even on the latest build. Perhaps soon this will be resolved and I may try again. They were nice about it at Roon, completely admitting the issue, and offered to restore my free trial once they fix it.

What a strange world. My one serious criticism of the built-in sweetening in Audirvana: Plisson should allow users to turn off the Audirvana filters with a checkbox to allow real bit-perfect playback.

I see on various forums that different music players have different SQ.

A hardware manufacturer told me the same thing just last week. And personally, I think I hear a benefit to Audirvana. And yet, bits are bits, right? So, amirm , please save us from this mystery: Do these players deliver different bits or clock speeds or jitter or "musical ether" to a DAC via USB?

Does it matter if you have "good" DAC? Nango said:. Must be something between the bits, even kinda vacuum Alec Kinnear Member Forum Donor. Joined Jan 28, Messages 63 Likes Jimbob54 said:. Then the publisher is either playing both ends against the middle or you are misunderstanding some of his utterances. But this page is pretty clear Tks said:. Can I read the paper with the tests performed? A link would be appreciated.

I'd like to see how it was performed to make sure there aren't any appreciable invalidation potentials. Those of you asking me to test this: I have. I already owned two bit-perfect players and bought another two bit perfect and installed another open source bit perfect player to test against Audirvana. Audirvana sounded "better" but it was the only one of five or six players to sound different.

All testing on OS X Measuring the difference: the difference is subtle enough the only way to measure it besides with one's ears would be to pipe the output back into a high quality input interface and diff the files. The difference between Audirvana and bit perfect is clearly audible. Veri said:. Sounded "better", "clearly audible", bla-bla-bla.

Still waiting for anything other than plausible explanations Alec. So far you've got nothing. Yes, there are other "things" in the signal processing besides oversampling algorithms in Audirvana's software which improve sound quality.

Feel free to try yourself with the trial period. Side to side tests with five different bit perfect players which all sound identical on 96 kHz 24 bit tracks vs Audirvana which offers heightened stereo separation stereo processing and slightly more presence a subtle boost in the mid-treble is nothing? Publisher's own claim to improve the sound is nothing? Guys are you too indolent to open up Audirvana and compare its output with a couple of other bit perfect players through your own DAC and amplification system speaker or headphone, the effect is strong enough to hear even via speakers?

Or are you so untrusting of your own ears that you cannot do a simple AB test to check sound even against distinctly audible difference? I was looking for a player for HD files in the end I decided I don't really care about playback of HD files, unless offered affordably streamed , trialed Amazon HD, didn't like it, discovered and bought Primephonic for HD classical - two month free trial ; half price first year while it lasts - which I really enjoy.

For pop and folk, I'll stick to Spotify and deal with its sound limitations for now apparently hires is coming.

In fairness to Audirvana, the sweetening probably applies to CD and MP3 files as well did not thoroughly test this, thoroughly tested hires PCM and DSD , thought the sweetening probably works best with higher quality masters requires clean input. I have no plans to have a separate server etc in the short term, …but may do so in the future. I cannot understand what, if anything, Audirvana or Roon and the like would bring to. Perhaps better MQA unpacking?

Slicker interface? Better sound quality? LOG IN. I would greatly appreciate you all's thoughts on this! Thank you very much. Edit Delete. Are you people aware that the most well known music artists make only a few hundred dollars a year on their music being streamed by Tidal, Spotify and others? Thats right, only a few hundred. Knowing this, I will never stream. Because of this, many good musicians are calling it quits.

I always purchase the physical media so as to give the artist a little extra. So all of you who are streaming music for a small pittance are actually harming the musicians you love so much. Think about it. Roon has a great music discovery algorithm, streams and DSP based equalization, multi device synchronization, etc. It lets you treat your ripped music and Tidal together as one giant virtual library.

I use Tidal on my phone, and Roon when I'm home. I can not speak to the Apple products but I stream Qobuz, via Audirvana from a dedicated lenovo laptop. The software assumes control of the digital sound path, bypasses the laptops resident mixers, becomes the only thing using the Wasapi driver and ensures end to end bit perfect processing before sending to my DAC. It is a little different with Mac OS. While I am not a huge fan of the interface limitations, I care about the quality more and for that reason, for me, Audirvana is necessary.

I had Tidal HiFi on a laptop, and it was great for finding new music. The SQ was not as good as CD and far below good vinyl. Was this because I wasn't using a separate DAC?

Here is a deep-dive into payouts by streaming services. Night and Day. My point exactly. Unless you have a driver. Stand alone streamer sounds better than audiovarna on a computer. Use the computer to discover music.
