For now I am using the old 3.5 until I have to upgrade my OS to Windows 11 and then I guess it won't work anymore and I'll have to find some other streaming platform for Qobuz given the fact that they won't fix their player so it can play files with a sampling rate above 96 kHz on my PC. If Audirvana offered a new model that focused on streaming only for a one-time fee I'd be interested. I'm in the minority since I'm a user who prefers to keep my local library separate from my streaming library. I use JRiver for my local files and have no desire to switch at this point. I use it solely for streaming Qobuz since the Qobuz player for Windows has always been buggy in its performance on my PC. Like I am using the old Audirvana and never gave a second thought to the new subscription plan. They should have just kept development on that product going. I'll just stick with my old, original Audirvana 3.5.51. The good thing about original Audirvana was the easy elegance with which it integrated local library and streaming services like Qobuz and Tidal - very elegant, clean, interface, good audio options, and integration of the two. So they've now kind of "re-launched" old, seat-license Audirvana as Audirvana Origin, but, if I read their marketing materials correctly, there's no integration with streaming services, so it's just for local library playback. I'm not paying for playback software as a service. I doubt too many of us Audirvana users had any interest. It was always a licensed local software client, not sofware as a service.Īfter the advent of Roon and it's SaaS model and the explosive adoption of people paying for Roon as a service, Audirvana launched Audrivana Studio, a Roon-like sofware-as-a-service version of Audirvana, last year. It was started in 2011, which predates Roon by a few years. Click to expand.Audirvana was/is a playback software for streaming and local files.
