I would say it sounds at least as good as Qobuz via Audirvana in my system playing 24/192. The AppleTV sends everything out 48 kHz, so I am not getting bit perfect audio with the hi res files, but it still sounds very good.

Just out of the gate, I have no idea why the prior AppleTV did not get the update. It was updated, but my 3rd Gen version wasn’t, so not all AppleTVs are created equal. We have one of the supported 4K versions of the AppleTV. I have also added the Jeep Wrangler to the list of things I am enthusiastic about.I have mentioned this service in prior posts, but I thought it would be a good time to talk about my experience and how I am using the service.

#AUDIRVANA PLUS SINGLE SONG CYCLE PORTABLE#
There may be 24/192 portable DACs available at this point, but I haven't looked into it.ĭog loving, Big Green Egg worshiping, Tech enthusiast, residing in Memphis, TN.

Below is my video about the Dragonfly if you are interested. Personally, I do have the Dragonfly setup I can use with the iPhone and iPad to get 24/96, but most of my listening is on my main system, so will have to figure out the best way to handle it. I don't expect to hear much difference between 16/44.1 and 24/192, but if it is available, it would be nice to be able to play it.

I guess they expect you to sit in front of the Mac you are using for music to use hi res, so if that isn't possible, you get some remote desk access software or something like that.
#AUDIRVANA PLUS SINGLE SONG CYCLE UPDATE#
Lossless CD quality (16/44.1) is easily available now, so this update is still worthwhile. Older Airport Express units are capped at 16/44.1.Īll in all, I am not sure how Apple expects people to take advantage of hi res audio at this point.
#AUDIRVANA PLUS SINGLE SONG CYCLE TV#
Apple TV limitations - Not sure about their most recent AppleTV, but the previous models would only send out a 48khz signal. However, Apple Music doesn't currently have a plug in for it, so let's hope they update the AM app to do more.ĥ. The open source LMS (Logitech Media Center) software gives you access to Airplay, DLNA, and Casting. It would be ideal if they didn't have an Airplay update. I doubt Apple will give us this ability, but it would be a way to add Apple Music hi res to a lot of systems without needing anything extra. DLNA - Audirvana gives you the ability to send audio, even at 24/192 wirelessly. I doubt Apple will add Casting, but it would allow for some high res files.Ĥ. With the Qobuz app, you can Cast 24/96 files. Casting - As of now, you can't Cast with the Apple Music app on iOS (not sure about Android). Airplay - Will there be some firmware update that allows hi res audio (Apple has also announces music up to 24/192) in its native format? In the past, you could only send 16/44.1 via Airplay.ģ.

Audirvana gives you full access to your own library and the entire Qobuz library from the app.Ģ. That means you can't just control any song in the Apple Music library without using a mouse and keyboard. You have to add a song to your library from Apple Music before the Remote app can see it. The Remote App - Truly awful app in the world of streaming on the Mac.

Maybe they will fix the issues prior to the launch in June?ġ. Out of the gate, I see a few issues compared to the Audirvana/Qobuz setup I use now. I am curious how that sounds over headphones. Of course, spatial audio is a whole different thing. I have an all you can eat cellular data plan, so even in my Jeep, with the top off, I will use lossless, even if there isn't a human on earth that could tell the difference. Not saying I could hear a difference in every song, but why not go with the fact that one is lossy and the other is lossless? At this point, with the pricing being the same, I see no reason to use lossy unless I am losing a signal over cellular. Does that mean you didn't hear a difference on those 7 songs? Is every song the same? Does every song have the clarity of certain instruments to show a difference? The list of possible issues goes on and on.Īs a result, if all else being the same, I would go with lossless audio over compressed. Also, let's say you hear the difference on 7 songs, but not on 3.in a 10 song cycle. This requires memory of how things sound and that is a different skill than just plopping down and listening to music. Typically, these tests are over several songs, while you go back and forth to compare. For certainty in these type of tests, you need a 90 percent success rate. I see this mentioned all the time and the answer is difficult to come by when doing comparisons.
