Too long ago to say why I liked the Mini better. I compared a Macbook pro on battery, and my first 2009 or early 2010 Mini (this one had a big power "brick"), and liked the Mini better then, but I did not have either adjusted for optimal ing only iTunes and Audio Midi adjustments, a Kimber USB cable that was better than the stock stuff, and nothing further. It would surely seem I would like the power supply change though. or anything else, though other system/room adjustments have resolved all that too. I don't perceive digital glare, leanness, weak or mushy bass. I have considered a power supply, but have found my sound to be quite satisfying so have avoided the hassle. Sorry Dave, I am not getting notifications to this thread for some reason. Pal/Will.you guys still using the switching power supply? If so, have you thought about a power supply upgrade?

You can set it to run at startup (go down a couple posts from the code post by Jud). Good for critical listening sessions when you don't need the iTunes interface. I felt I got a more analogue or smoother sound but still great detail with it. I finally got around to trying this Applscript Ap to run Audirvana off of a Ram disk and also run your music from a Ram disk as well. If you want to adjust app-wide volume going to the DAC, use the Multi-Channel tab.Īudio Setup (button at the bottom of the preference page): Stereo Channels dithered separately checked The preferences seem pretty self explanatory now, but the more important sound prefs on mine are set like this: I wish it were still there for fine-tuning though. I was sorry to find this, but glad I like the sound, so am not complaining. The new version no longer has Shaping options like those on the Filter page of Audirvana. Tightened things up especially in dense music with a lot of bass. I also found that I liked having Minimize Peaks checked along with Silence Harmonics. I just think it is really tricky to sway much from "neutral." But luckily there are enough settings here to tune to taste within that and I am really starting to like the program.Īnyway, whatever way suits the system/tastes, the steepness seems an easy control to adjust for more, or less push, darkness, and density. They are definitely trying to work the "analog" angle with warm and exceptional detail with this program, creating potential beauty and potential trouble. With these settings it first sounded a little lean, but now that I listen more, I prefer the more live sound, still hearing plenty of Audirvana's efforts for warmth. But the sound is good here, more open and fresher sounding.less forward.a less produced sound.more like music. So I went to work and found that lowering the steepness more, now at 135, helped the ringing. 139 seemed a pretty good next step, until I found an EST piano track with pretty intense ringing, especially on dynamic high notes. The MKIV is really fast, dynamic and powerful though. I am finding 150 too in-the-face and for many recordings, too dense in my system/room. And relative to that, also has some impact on ringing. On the Audio Filters tab, the steepness effects the intensity of signal "push," dynamics and body. I have discovered a few things sound-wise (I think). so I think I like the more dynamic and articulate sound of 1, which I mention first because this effects the rest. I am tending to Mode 1 on the Integer for the Tranquility, perhaps since it already does texture and space so musically. You probably already knew this, but I finally figured out that if I click the stop button on Audirvana, it will allow preference changes. What do you think? Has this helped your computer playback? Otherwise, it seems good for the settings Palomino found. I don't see the Audio volume tab with MBIT+.
