I have been listening to my D250 Pro with the new Audirvana 3 through USB (direct mode) and it is simply to die for. Amazing fluidity, naturelness, bass incredibly controlled and powerful, crystal clear and transparent highs... everything I used to like with air over wifi when it worked in terms of fluidity, but with additional detail, gritiness when needed.

The ipad app works also very fast now and the whole experience has been flawless. The multi-criteria search capability is IMHO best in class in an ipad app.

Audirvana 3 now supports MQA which is a great bonus.

No way I would give up on that sound quality for Roon. Anyone on Mac willing to optimize the sound quality produced owe himself to give it a try. Audirvana scans the indicated discs automatically for initial import or when tracks are stored in it, couldn't the easier.

Cheers,

Hi Bernard

Very interested in your comments and if you had tried Roon prior to Audirvana 3? I have just loaded Roon, (purchased 1 year), onto my Mac-mini with USB connection to my D250 Pro. I love the sound and the client interface on the iPad is excellent.

I have been using my LINN Majik as a streamer into the Devialet along with LINN's Kazoo, (using the Mac-mini as a DLNA source). It has been very reliable but I definitely hear the improvements from Roon.

Are you saying Audirvana 3 is better than Roon?

Very interested in your experience pre-Audirvana and expansion on your comment about giving up on the sound quality for Roon. 

Thanks in advance.

I completely agree with Bernard. I use Audirvana 3 with Air 3 beta and it's absolutely superb! Way better than Roon. I discover once again my music library. The best 34$ canadian I spent : )
