2 Audirvana questions:
(1)-Does Audirvana support MIDI Multi-Output Device (MOD) use on a Mac?
I have a MOD set up that consists of an Audioquest Dragonfly, Schiit Audio Yggdrasil, and Dante Virtual Sound Card.
iTunes, Roon, and Pure Music output to all 3 devices of the MOD, but Audirvana won't recognize the MOD. I have to manual choose which individual device I want Audirvana to use, and then it plays fine. The problem is that the Dragonfly and Yggdrasil feed separate systems, and I can't get them to play simultaneously with Audirvana but I can with the 3 other players.
This limits Audirvana's value to me in spite of it sounding slightly better and having some desirable features that the others lack.
(2)- Is Integer Mode supported on a Dante Virtual Sound Card ?
Audirvana does not run in Integer Mode as it feeds my Mac Mini's Dante Virtual Sound Card which outputs via Ethernet to an Atterotech unDaes-O which then outputs over AES/EBU to my Yggdrasil DAC. Audio Over Internet Protocol sounds better than USB in my system using iTunes, Roon, Pure Music.
It will run in Integer Mode if Audirvana outputs to the Dragonfly and Yggdrasil over USB.
Both USB and AOIP sound great and similar, but I wonder if AOIP would be even better if Integer Mode was active using the Dante.
Thanks for the input.
