5/21/2023 0 Comments Swinsian vsThose of you asking me to test this: I have. Personally, I have no issue with intelligent sweetening, but the acolytes of ASR and Amir should.Įven I would rather have control over my own sweetening via AU plugins than have blanket sweetening imposed across all playback. Indeed, Damien Plisson is playing both ends against the middle here. Audirvana takes a bit perfect sound and then adds its "special sauce". The support/sales ticket is even more clear. * really I'm not, I'm an agnostic here – both measurements and listening tests have their place the evaluation of audio equipment My one serious criticism of the built-in sweetening in Audirvana: Plisson should allow users to turn off the Audirvana filters with a checkbox to allow real bit-perfect playback. While a subjectivist* like me prefers bit-perfect! What a strange world. Still, I'm astonished to find so many Audirvana users among men of science though. Damien knows what his business as a coder and he's got a good ear. Oh, and my opinion, Audirvana sweetening is successful for most music. He could test Audirvana against foobar (which I also successfully tested on OS X for identical bit-perfect playback though the OS X foobar is a limited feature beta version). I'd suggest do some bit perfect playback tests between Audirvana and the applications I mentioned but Amir is a Windows lifer, considering his past. He mentions that he did the test with Audirvana playback. It surprised him in an otherwise perfect measurement performance. I can't find it out now, but has a test graph of stereo separation for one of the DACs he tested which shows a blurry line in the middle instead of a clean one. No bit-perfect player can sound better than another through the identical DAC unless that player is sweetening/treating the sound. Why do you think Audirvana sounds better? Because it's more bit-perfect? Surely you realise that bit-perfect is an absolute. I actually went to the trouble to compare them all before reaching this conclusion. Otherwise Audirvana would sound just like all the other (about half a dozen) bit-perfect players for OS X. How much more clear does it have to be? The publisher himself is claiming that he's sweetening the signal.Īs I mentioned, of course Audirvana is improving/sweetening the sound. Damien specifically answers a customer (in French, in which I'm fluent): Move to Applications folder prompt is now added.Guys read the thread more attentively please before barking.DiscordRichPresence will now show the application icon as a big image of the music player you are currently playing music from.Remaining time now uses the current track’s elapsed time. SwinsianDiscord requires macOS El Capitan (10.11) or later. The remaining time will become 24 hours when the track is paused. Now it matches the current playing track. Music.app support added (macOS 10.15 or later)įixed elapsed time.Note that elapsed time does not work with Music.app since the app does not provide this information. Changelog 1.2.1 (Released December 28, 2019)Īdds support for the Music.app under macOS 10.15 Catalina. SwinsianDiscord requires a 64-bit Intel Processor (Core 2 Duo or better) running macOS 10.11 or higher and Swinsian version >= 1.8.8 or Apple iTunes or Music App under macOS 10.15 or later. SwinsianDiscord is a menu bar utility allows you to share what you are listening in Swinsian or Apple iTunes/Music on Discord using Discord Rich Presence.
