Trying to install Audirvana my Win10 machine refuses to do anything when clicking on the final download link

Probably best to go to their support page and use the community forum link.

That’s the one I’ve tried plus the one from the main page. I enter name and email and the next page pops up telling me to click if the installation don’t start automatically which it does not and clicking also does nothing. Oh well I’m happy with foobar so don’t need this, but it is a bad first experience for potential new users that the installation don’t even work

You aren’t the first to have installation issues with win10. Here’s a link about that; see the reply from Damian (the developer).

Thanks. I may give that a try one day, but it certainly does not inspire confidence in the product

Oh, I totally agree! I had some minor issues connecting to my library after installation (probably my own ignorance) but we aren’t all programmers so it really needs to be more “transparent” for users who aren’t computer geeks! Very satisfied now that I’ve been using it. I also love the Audirvana remote; I can control everything from the comfort of my listening couch.

Yes the app remote concept is great, I love it on my Auralic Aries Mini that is the source for my home rig with a 2TB ssd with all my music plus build in Tidal client all controlled from my iPhone and iPad.

Foobar has a very dated old school interface but is great to be able to install components to enable SACD/DSD playback and converting etc. Sometimes I've been tempted to get something with a more attractive UI to visually match the high quality sound but the fact Foobar does everything without fault for free wins and I've used it for years.
Audirvana claims to improve the sound? I don't know if that is through onboard sound card or also applies to external dac?

Indeed but all I really need gui wise is browsing by folder structure, displaying album art and meta data and playing an album end to end locally on the computer

Just get my TA and while I am playing with it I noticed I am on 1.0.3 firmware, is there any old version that still available? I'd like to try them out, but there are only 1.0.3 on sony website. Thanks

There is 1.00 and 1.01 I think? 1.02 has been difficult to find.

Not on the website? I just found 1.0.3 firmware and 1.0.0.4 driver(For PC)

Looks like only 1.00 now and 1.03?

That 1.0.0 is not firmware it's the PC driver.

oh?

And I saw there is a post that shared old firmware on the old thread but both are invalid. I heard 1.0.0 is really different from 1.0.3.
