Bottom line: Deep Thought isnвЂ™t required.ДЄudirvana+ is $99 including 20% UK tax and $10 for the iOS remote. I ran with 4Gb memory вЂ“ scanning 3,500 NAS-based albums took a while вЂ“ but once itвЂ™s done, itвЂ™s done. A powerful CPU is only needed for upsampling PCM to DSD.

Plisson recommends 64-bit Windows 10 (April 17 update onwards) with 8Gb memory. My ageing i5 Asus laptop coped okay with the Windows take on Audirvana+. (вЂBits are bitsвЂ™ believers are invited to alight here and are advised to stick with the inferior sounding iTunes or Foobar вЂ“ Ed) Electrical noise can travel down USB cabling to disturb the downstream DAC. Software apps sound different because they each have their own processor, RAM read/write and hard-drive read requirements and therefore deliver different electrical noise. This oneвЂ™s for Windows users and is the first outing of Audirvana+вЂ™s improved user interface.ДЄ viable alternative to Roon вЂ“ or still a lagger? And which sounds better? Game on. Time to revisit an alternative: the new version of Audirvana+. It does cost a fair wedge and RoonвЂ™s in-house coded RAAT protocol is theirs and theirs only.В IвЂ™m two years in and things move on both inside Roon (via a wealth of updates) but also elsewhere. Or rent it, like your music.вЂќвЂ¦say some.В ItвЂ™s not the only party in town though. All for the price of a good interconnect.

Great functionality, metadata2die4, a user interface that trounces others Hulk-style.
