@damien78 : Your are right, the 3.1.1 corrects my crash problem. Thank you

A+ v3.1 crash when I start to play music. This happen for local or Streaming. Does any one have this issue ? My Mac mini runs Sierra 10.12.5 ans I have implemented the modifications for the Direc Mode with the prévious A+ Version (3.0.7). Maybe I have to made the change again for the new A+ version ?

The best answer is what you hear with your system, your room and your ears. So you should try it and decide by yourself.

Thank's a lot John for your help. I understand the main question is how much the SI is in the ISO REGEN input. If I can, I will try and test when I could order the ISO REGEN and give my impressions.

Hello, I have a question for John Swenson. John, if you have time, can you tell if the JS-2 and MMK for a Mac Mini are still usefull if I add an ISO REGEN and LPS-1 ? If not, I could remove the MMK from the Mac Mini and use the original power supply to be able to use the JS-2 to power the network switch on which the Mac Mini is connected to. Thank's in advance for any help.

Erratum I delete this post which is not in the correct thread.

Thank's Bob for your answer. I knew that popup in the Audirvana App for IOs. My question is about the aluminium device Apple remote. I wanted to do it with BetterTouchTool app for Mac which let you able to link an action to a hot key but there is an OSX error with the keys "Cmd" + "." used by Audirvana to STOP.

Hi Damien, I use the Apple remote to control Audirvana. I can use the play/pause button but there is no way to stop Audirvana with the Apple remote. Do you think you could add the ability to stop Audirvana with the central button of the remote in a future release ?

It would be surprise me that mini DSP can do something Dirac Live can't. For me, they use the same filters. Regarding the time correction for the tweeter. it will always be dependent of the distance of listening. So what ever it is done by filter (L, R, C) or by physical offset of the tweeter, it is always a choice of the manufacturer which decide peoples will be at a "normal" distance of listening. The only interest to make a time alignement by physical offset of the tweeter is it make possible to make a less complicated filter. Which can be a good thing because a filter always change many thing (gain different from frequencies, phase offset, ...).

:-) Thanks a lot for the precisions. I don't think you are obscure. English is not my natural language and I certainly don't understand as well as the words tell. Sent from my iPhone using Computer Audiophile

Jud, Do you mean by using the iZotope upsampling, the audio playback engine is not used ? In that case all audio optimisation made by Damien can't be heard ?

I have no issue when I use the UMIK with my actual 16ft cable but as it is the USB limit and as the UMIK is powered by USB power it could have some issue. And Dirac Live is not using a data integrity software control but just an "estimation" so we are not able to be sure the datas are correct. See the reply from Dirac : " DLCT tries to understand if it receives corrupt data and in that case it will return an error message... if a measurement is accepted it should be OK. A USB active cable is anyhow suggested when a long one has to be used. " But I think I am maybe thinking too much and there is certainly no problem.

Thanks for your help. I am thinking about this kind of cable but with an external power supply or an USB hub with an external power supply too. Sent from my iPhone using Computer Audiophile

Thanks a lot Jud for your answer. It seams I will spend again my money for my audio setup :-) Sent from my iPhone using Computer Audiophile

Hi everybody,In the case you don't have MQA streaming used, does A+ V3 will have an interest compare to the V2.6 ?From what I understand, the V3 will replace the izotope decoder with the MQA decoder. Does the MQA decoder is better than the izotope ?Ieotope decoder has a strong reputation.I will certainly test the V3 but I am not sure this version have an interrest for me who stream music from Qobuz or use my local library.
