Current quality of Rune

Audirvana has many audio settings. The issue of loud static when switching songs in Audirvana might be related to several factors. Here are some potential solutions:

1. Check Audio Settings: Ensure your audio settings in Audirvana are optimized. Try reducing the buffer size and adjusting sample rate settings.

2. Disable Gapless Playback: If enabled, try disabling gapless playback in the audio output settings to see if it resolves the issue.

3. Update Software and Drivers: Make sure both Audirvana and your DAC drivers are up-to-date.

I use Audirvana and like it very much.  I suggest you investigate further to see what is going on. And maybe post this question on the Audiovana Community forum.  

@audphile1 Does mconnect work on a tablet or would I need to use it on a laptop?

My dac appears to support AirPlay; Roon, UPnP/DLNA, HQPlayer, and Spotify.  I don't use Spotify, so that's not an option. 

@hgeifman Thanks for the reply.  I think I've tried all of those things, but I'll try again. I like the program. I installed the remote app so I can run it with my tablet. 

A few people claim Roon sound quality not up to par, most don't have issue. My argument is regardless of music player being used, streams should equal sound quality of cd's played via a quality cd transport, or rips on a hard drive. I've run Audirvana and Roon, both are capable of this.

I’ve been into computer based audio for over 15 years. I’ve tried pretty much all the software during that time; Pure Music (Channel D), Audirvana, JRiver, Bit Perfect, Roon, and probably others that I’ve since forgotten.

Based on my experiences, I purchased a lifetime Roon subscription when I first became available.

I periodically try other programs, but always come back to Roon for its sound quality, ease of use, and integration with Qobuz and HQ Player.
