Audirvana 3.5.50 clunked out on Tidal streaming again for me this week. Cant play Tidal beyond the “High” setting. As pissed off as I am about it, I just want to listen to music.
So I sprang for a Year subscription of Studio. I gave Studio a quick try on the trial period when it first came out, but didn’t really want to give it a chance since I had paid for the legacy version.
I use upsampling. I know it shouldn’t make a difference, but it does, somehow. I get a more clearly defined and intense soundstage. Far better definition of space. A greater sense of “being there”
Studio has two options for upsampling- the old SOX engine, and a new R8Brain engine. Having now committed to Studio, I gave it a good testing last night. I can definitively report that I love the R8Brain upsampling. There is a very clear distinction between min phase and linear filtering, and I find linear snaps my system into perfection. This is the best my system has ever sounded.
