![]() ![]() #Audirvana plus settings softwareSo why three options? Using the DAC as a decoder means that Audirvana should not perform software decoding, and using it as a renderer means it should, but what about “not MQA”? In this case does Audirvana perform software decoding and send 24/88.2 or 24/96 or not and send the 24/44.1 or 24/48 original file? According to my understanding there are only two alternatives here, either Audirvana performs software decoding or it doesn’t (correct?). “DAC not detected as MQA, use as” (not MQA/MQA renderer, MQA decoder).and if set to “on” Audirvana selects the optimum behaviour based on whatever capabilities the DAC presents? Could it be that if set to “off” the actual behaviour of Audirvana is determined by setting 2. While the intention here might be clear, the actual effect is not, and I can’t find any documentation. “Auto-detect MQA devices” (toggle on/off). ![]() There are two relevant settings in Audirvana as far as I can see: ![]() I have Audirvana connected to both Qobuz and Tidal and playing various hi res albums on Tidal got me curious about MQA, so I started fiddling about and trying to understand exactly what the setting do. I mostly use Roon so not very familiar with Audirvana, but trying to play hi resolution material on my Devialet Phantoms has had me rediscovering Audirvana since Roon doesn’t support UPnP. ![]()
