  1. On the metadata side, display track's comment field in the main panel in the same way Qobuz or Tidal navigation displays album's comment. Also view track's comment field in A+ remote.

    Audirvana Plus 2.6

    Damien, thank you for the new release. Faster and like the new navigation feature. Just wondering if you could consider displaying track's comments field in the main panel in the same way Qobuz or Tidal navigation displays album's comment. thanks again for the great work!

    Izotope SRC

    New to this forum and the audiophile world. A bit of context first. I am building my first audio system and I am researching a musical / not fatiguing system versus analytical. I listen essentially to jazz / blues / acoustic music but not just. My experience is very limited with audiophile grade equipment. I sold recently a Burson audio headphone amp (didn't like the DAC/sabre signature). I am also using Audiravana for a while (love it !). I am looking forward to purchase a DAC which is a complex decision. After countless hours of reading this forum and head-fi I narrowed down my choice to 2 R2R DACs (actually 3 but the last one is out of budget for now..): - Audio-GD Dac-19 Standard version (8x oversampling by default - possible to use NOS mode but NOS mode is not performing at the level of the new DAC below) - Audio-DG Dac-10 NOS version (ºÍ§Ó­µ响) - Metrum Musette My readings lead me to believe I should prefer Audirvana/iZotope (software DSP) versus an on-board DAC DSP (even if I understand high-end DACS have excellent DSP/Filters but feel under 1K USD I will be much better served by iZotope) I am trying to confirm if it is fair to assume Audirvana with iZotope oversampling disabled combined with the standard DAC-19 (x8) and Audirvana 8x iZotope combined with the NOS version of the same DAC sonic signatures should be closer than a pure NOS approach (no oversampling in Audirvana combined with the NOS DAC). If I am correct I understand it should be possible to reproduce the standard DAC-19 oversampling filter with iZotope settings (this how the thread started with the Ayre filter no ?) NOS DACs sound signatures seem specific and I read many times not everyone like it (read most don't like it). Overall I wonder if by oversampling with the software and using a NOS DAC I am taking a risk not liking the NOS sound. This is very theoretical for me now but can't wait to finish building my first system and start using my ears. But until then I rely on my reading and experience of people like you on this forum to make the right choice. Thanks in advance for your comment.. Overall I am leading toward the NOS version of the DAC I recently read a quote I found appropriate in the context: "At a time when we're having to take such difficult decisions about how to cut back without damaging the things that matter the most, we should strain every sinew to cut error, waste and fraud"
  4. new to this forum I've been using Audirvana 2 (standalone, not iTunes integrated) with Audirvana remote and the Qobuz integration for a while and I just love it One feature that I like with Qobuz integration is the ability to display the Artist Bio or Qobuz Team's comment about an album within Audirvana. I've started to leverage the comment metadata (track details) field to save album information. Damien, I was wondering if it would be possible to plan in a next release the option to display album or track comment in the same way Qobuz's album comment shows up in the UI. And I would like to second this with the ability to see the same comment with Audirvana Remote. Would it be possible also to save Artist information ? Overall and to me, Audirvana sounds amazing, and I believe the next step is to develop features around music and information related to artists and album. Roon (and I am not using it) is trending up and I believe one of the reason is the same. I am not saying I expect a clould music database should be build for Audirvana but at least give more flexibility to Audirvana users to build their own and enjoy the information while listening to music. At least this would be my wish for the future release.. And thanks Damien for the great work you've done so far with Audirvana, I enjoy it every day
