As far as I know, Audirvana was made to work with a DAC, since AIR isn't a DAC but a virtual sound card, those settings can't be used.
I use OS/X Mavericks.
Audirvana 1.5.12
AIR 2.12
And sometimes I create a RAMdisk, and directly work from memory, no iTunes integration.
Looking forward to A+2 though it cost a small fee to upgrade.
Hi Eddye,
did you ever compare the sound of A+/AIR directly against iTunes/AIR? I just wondered whether you think A+ sounds better or you don't like iTunes (like many other people) .
Thanks,
Philip
I like iTunes because of the library functionality, which A+2 should solve
When comparing A+ with iTunes or just A+, I prefer just A+, it's a bit more 'airy' and a bit better defined. Especially when you create a RAMdisk and copy the files to the RAMdisk and create a A+ playlist from that.
