French software developer Damien Plisson has introduced a pubic beta of Audirvana Plus v3.1. This week, that ‘doesn’t’ moves to the past tense: ‘didn’t’. Audirvana Plus doesn’t do network streaming.

For UX elegance, auto-tagging, meta information layer, music discovery and networked audio streaming, I opt for Roon. I think I've read people are using raspberry pi 4 USB output to DAC and with something called ropieee xl but i'm not sure to understand.With Mac + USB DAC, if I want the best sound quality (by a nose), I opt for Audirvana Plus. Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the rookie questions Would I be able to use qobuz native app with that? I think I've read people are using raspberry pi 4 USB output to DAC and with something called ropieee xl but i'm not sure to understand. First thing is, I just don't understand why?! Why is it so much better? As good as can be those players, their ios app are just remote apps and I don't want to have a desktop computer ON everytime I want to stream qobuz. However, I can read everywhere that one has to use another player such as Roon/Audirvana/Plex/etc instead of the Qobuz native app. FYI, I don't have a network NAS with flac files or anything- I only use Qobuz or Tidal.įirst, I've seen that airplay is limited to 16/44.1 cd quality, so I thought that the right move was to use the toslink output of a Chromecast Audio with a nice reviewed DAC such as the topping E30 (btw, a big thanks to amirm's work and reviews- very interesting, I've learned a lot) to stream up to 24/92 files. I'm still a rookie regarding hi-fi and there is a point that I still don't understand: how to best wirelessly stream/cast Qobuz 24 bits hi-res files from the ios native app to my analog stereo integrated amp.
