IMHO, if you already have 3.5 lifetime purchased and are happy with it, subscribing for studio will not provide with any added benefits.
With Audirvana Remote you can search your music collection, create playlists, select audio output devices and adjust the volume. Once you get past the sleek UI, it somehow feels like old candy wrapped in new paper. Also new are Audirvanas remote control apps for smartphones now for the first time also for Android. Maybe manually adding the URL with Metadata will fix it partly but album cover still looks doubtful.ĥ. Default RadioParadise has no Metadata or album cover support. As of date only app available for download load is the old one which doesn't connect with Studio.Ĥ. Audirvana website mentions a new? mobile app. Still no auto tagging, album cover search etc.ģ. It is a beta release without the beta tag.Ģ. Feature which checks music files (local only) for encoding quality (did I get it right?).ġ. Audio setting is laid out in a easy to use interfaceĤ. Now being a subscription model, they should have done better! Or do they expect customers to subscribe and then wait for problems to get fixed? Here are my observations:Ģ.
#Audirvana vs audirvana studio software
I installed Audirvana Studio and it came out as a software which was released in a hurry. If that doesn't happen then the company will become a shell of it's former operation. It may take a while to build back Audirvana customer satisfaction. It's pretty evident the guys at Audirvana did not think through the rejection they are receiving or place any real value on existing customers.
It seemed to cause the moderator to grimace in pain a few times. During the webcast announcement for Audirvana studio there was a lot of negative comments from existing users. The company is taking a big risk with existing customer satisfaction and giving Roon a lot of opportunity. The product change might kill off most of the existing Audirvana users as it's obvious they don't want to go down the subscription route. It's a nice feature but certainly not worth $70 a year over my 3.5 version. My 3.5 version only allows playlists of steaming media OR a separate playlist for local ripped CD's. Audirvana Studio adds the ability to create playlists that combine ripped CD's as well as Qobuz/Tidal streams.
