With only one 10 inch driver in the Loke I expect it won’t be too long before you end up with more than one subwoofer in your system. I’m sure Mitch will be able to do a great job of integration of the subwoofer with a new 2 way AL filter. Mark

Hi Tim, You could try shairport. https://github.com/Frank-Friemel/Shairport4w This program allows you to cast from your phone to computer. It utilises wifi and is good for at least CD quality. Unless others can chip in with other options the only other low cost option I know of is utilising screen sharing which I do find great with a phone sized screen. Regards Mark

I’m with you on this one. Same problem with an inflated subscription price in Australia. Mark

Thanks for the comment on the Audirvana forum. I never posted over there so have little knowledge about their forum. On a related matter do you know why Audivana is charging a higher $ rate for countries outside the US ? Particularly as they are based in France ? Regards Mark

Same problem in Australia. The amount Audirvana are charging for a studio subscription in Australia is significantly higher than the cost if I paid in $US and let the credit card take care of the exchange rate. For me it’s a deal breaker. Not because of the extra $ but because it doesn’t feel equitable. Sorry, but I don’t want to support a company who operates like that. I am surprised at Audirvana operating in this way. From what I have read about Damian it is not the way he operates. Almost makes me wonder if Audirvana has a new partner who operates in a different way.

Yep, I think Kal may have heard a few analogue sources as well 🙂 Mark

Hi 6rs, One issue we did find with AudioLense was that if we did not get the mic exactly centred the image would be off centre. Carefully measuring and centering the mic before taking a new set of measurements fixed that problem. I know you are using IIC not AL and that you take multiple measurements with IIC, but perhaps it would be worth ensuring the first measurement location is carefully entered between the speakers. Just a suggestion. Regards Mark

Hi 6rs, Yes there was a known bug were the image moved to right. There should be previous posts on it. I thought it had been addressed in a latter version, but apparently not. I think the work around may have been to use the previous version of IIC for measuring. I do remember reading a number of posts on the bug, but I only used IIC for a while and did not have the problem so I am only going off memory. I moved my copy of Amarra to a new Mac, but IIC would not register on the new computer. I submitted a ticket to Sonic Studios, received a support ticket number, but nothing after that. So after paying for IIC I can no longer use it. Regards Mark

Updated Amarra Lux to version 4.3.500 and now the remote app does not work. Unlike some others, I have not had many problems with Amarra Lux until I upgraded to version 4.3.500. Now Amarra Play (the remote app on my iPad) now longer connects to Lux. The remote app for iTunes still connects fine and Amarra Play even connects with SQ+ if I open SQ+ on my computer. Before I spend more hours trying to sort this out I thought I would check and see if anyone else is having this problem. Regards Mark

I contrast to some others my experience with the latest version of Amarra and the recently updated remote app has been most positive. For example last night I had a great evening listening via Amarra and controlling Amarra from my iPad. No issues or crashes for me and now with Tidal intergration it does add an extra level to the listening experience. I used my iPad to do a search for a song that I knew was in my library. Not only did Amarra come up with the version in my library the search results also showed a list of other versions of the song from dirrerenet albums and artists (from Tidal). I had quite a good time listening to dirrerent interpretations and versions of the song. I expect for those with Roon this is nothing new but for those of us don’t have Roon its great that Amarra provides this opportunity. A number of posts ago someone did ask what buffer setting I was using..The answer is 1024. Anyway back to the listening for me. Mark

I will check what buffer setting I adjusted it too on the weekend when I next fire up the stereo. Because I do not need to sync to video or anything I just pushed it up to a fairly large buffer setting to ensure any clicks were gone. Like I said above I am having no real issues with the current version of A4L except for the remote app which as I mentioned in an earlier post seems like it could do with an update. Still I expect Amarra’s focus was on getting A4 working well for most of us. Perhaps they will now have the time to get the remote app loading faster. Did the larger buffer setting work for you ? Regards Mark

When I tried fairly small buffer settings I received a few clicks. I just increased the buffer settings and no more clicks. In A4L settings you can adjust the buffer size. Regards Mark

Yes works fine for me too. For me even tidal is working well through A4. Only negative for me is the remote app doesn’t work properly. From memory this is something Sonic Studios is aware of so hopefully there will be an update for the app soon. (please !!!!) Regards Mark

Sounds promising. So do the DSD albums show up in the iTunes library with Audirana ?

Excuse my lack of knowledge on some of the otherr playets but do any of the players that support DSD over DoP and DSD upsampling also provide itunes intergration ? Regards Mark
