Audirvana Studio

What's everyone opinion on Wasapi vs Kernel streaming? I find that Wasapi has less detail but it produces a noticeably better bass impact which really helps with estats.

Wasapi is also sounds fuller/warmer and Kernel has a thinner sound. It's quite obvious with estats so I will use Wasapi from now on!

Since the BF2 OG is already a warm sounding DAC, it benefited nicely from the more incisive Kernel Streaming

I found that different headphones benefit from either Wasapi or Kernel Streaming.

Ah finally!

Ah finally!

I'm assuming this came from the newsletter? Seems the beta list is (unfortunately) full. How are you finding it so far? Would love to have a built-in EQ to Audirvana Studio to leverage exclusive mode without buying a plugin/using SoundSource.

Ah finally!

I'm also wondering how this is going. It's been a few months so it would be nice to see this implemented.

It was working fine but it was only a 5 band EQ. I don't use this service anymore since I have got a dedicated streamer now (Rivo +).

Is Audivana still going? I remember when they turned it into a subscription service but offered no content - as one would expect with a subscription. I thought the backlash against that was so severe that it effectively killed Audivana.

Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'm still using version 3 because of the subscription BS

Unless you do streaming you can just buy Audirvana Origin which does local playback only and has all the tools of Audirvana Studio. It is a one time purchase just like the older Audirvana 3.5 .
I've used the legacy 3.5 version too but I prefer Audirvana Origin because it has the analyzer tool to see if a FLAC comes from an actual lossless source or not.

No I don't do streaming so it doesn't make sense to subscribe to studio.

I don't need that as all of my FLACs are ripped directly from CDs that I own, so I already know that the source is lossless.

I'm actually still using 3.2 and honestly for my purposes I don't see any reason to upgrade as I'm happy to treat it as a "drag and drop" player.

I'm still here with the 3.5 for the very limited collection of DSD tracks only
