For instance, include all Genre = Classical, but exclude Period = Medieval, which leaves Renaissance and Baroque in. Also not sure whether one can use boolean operators. It would be good to have a real example in the help file. I try to get a bit better understanding of the smart playlists. Otherwise Audirvana will not recognize the files at all. I now realize that the files need to be named:īand name - Album name - 01 Song name.flac The way I organize it, it isĭirectory for Band, Directory name = Band nameĭirectory for Album, Directory name = Album name Last but not least, it took me quite a while to figure out required naming conventions for files. That particularly applies to Airplay locations and also to the Dragonfly. Defeats the purpose of having a Audirvana output selection to begin with, as I now have to switch audio out in two places. Was my old main computer, so use that one as dedicated music computer with Audirvana, VinylStudio and dbpowerbase on it.Īnother thing that is weird is that I have to select output in MacOS preferences, before it becomes available as an option in the speaker pull-up in Audirvana. The dedicated music server runs on OS 10.15 (Catalina) clean install of two days ago, on a Mac Pro late 2013 (aka: soup can). One mistake I made, on my macbook I am still on OS 10.14 (Mojave), haven’t updated that one yet. So the Dragonfly Cobalt MQA problem is in the current version. Just checked for updates, but was up to date with v. I am a brand new user, so installed the most current version two days ago. Here you can find an interesting reading about MQA MQA is a flac container where the pcm format has been treated with MQA proprietary coding technology and needs an MQA compliant sw and/or dac to be decoded, if no compliant sw and/or dac is available the MQA file will be played as 16/44.1. Pcm is the format and flac is the container of that format, other containers are aiff, alac.ĭsd is a different format and can be played to a capable dsd dac You have to be aware that df cobalt can do up to 24/96 then you cannot reach the full MQA resolution that is 24/192. You can check if MQA is recognized as a blue led will light on on your df cobalt while playing MQA files, see here the user manual I do not own the df cobalt anyway … you don’t need to go back and forth through the settings menu, set it and forget.Īudirvana should recognize the df cobalt, if not … your cobalt is a renderer according to this faq page
