Ok, here we go. The accessible audio player is called Audirvana Plus. It may even work with Apple IR Remote. Physical little remote for use also with tv is my understanding. I will try it with Audirvana Plus later. If it works it will be cool. Audirvana loads albums and tracks into ram. So beautiful fast when playing from ram when i use command + right arrow for next song and space for pause. Its like the keys are not touch down before the next song loads or paused. Very very cool to experience this. Even in TIDAL playlists. Tidal is an integrated option. Recommend it if you want cd quality playback loaded into ram. Audirvana also plays high resolution audio 24bit 192khz and the DSD, DXD high resolution audio if your dac supports it. Cd quality 16bit 44khz is good enough maybe, but if you want to try, here it is a little accessible software player. Theese high res audio files needs to be stored on harddrives or memory sticks etc. Not a solution in Tidal yet.
So, it has Tidal ann three more for me unfamiliar streaming services. Tidal works side by side the audio you rip or buy and download. They can make a playlist for downlaoded and ripped music. Then another playlist for Tidal. They cannot be mixed into one playlist from both stored and sreamed audio. However, you can put songs and albums from both in play queue, but this is not stored on disk. This is only stored in ram. Your computer ram. 1. Go into voice over tools vo + f8, navigation, hit a mark for mouse follows voice over cursor. This is nesscessary to be able to hit play whenever you want. 2. Open Audirvana Plus. You can hit vo-command + home and hit view full screen. Vo + j works for moving beteen list and tables. In table there are interact as usual and vo + up - down aroows as usual on tracks name. Here is why mouse have to follow the voice over cursor: when you are at the corect song, you use the physical mouse button to hit twice and it is allright. Don’t move the mouse, just double click. Afterwords, the command + right and spacebar works in the same playlist or album. 3. Command + comma to open settings. Go into toolbar, sound system button, down to low level playback, hit a mark for exclusic access mode, direct mode. Not integer mode. Leave integer mode empty. Go down to maximum memory and give Audirvana Plus about 65% or more to play with. Otherwhise chose your dac, amplifier name as output device above at the same side. 4. Go to tools, sysoptimizer. Give Audirvana every rights. When you hit stop button all the memory goes back to mac osx. Only if you hit stop button or close. It works. Not pause, but stop or close. 5. Streaming. You get a free TIDAL for a couple of weeks or so. It may be reasonably straight forward to get an account. Log in if you have an account works easy. There are only one bug i have found. Often, when you go from stored music into TIDAL the Audirvana gets the «busy» bug. A simple restart works. You have to open the option - command + esc terminate window though. Go into the bable and finish it with enter twice and option - command + esc + close the terminate dialog again. At my end, with the setting above, it works. Of course ther ar more options in the settings you can choose and should. In my opinion it looks like SONOS is the most user friendly accessible application. Because you can mix playlists from harddrive, memory sticks, ripped lp’s, apple music, TIDAL, Deezer and other supported SONOS streams. You also have the IOS apps. Don’t even know if Audirvana Plus have IOS app. Regarding user friendly the SONOS is best on IOS. Audirvana on the other hand as an extra accessible tool for audio music on the mac osx. It is accessible on mac osx. Audirvana can play high resolution files. Audirvana loads songs and albums into ram. Your mac’s ram. So cool to hit space and next song. Feel the speed under your fingers. Also the point is, here you have an accessible music app that can play high resolution music files on your mac. That SONOS not will play. Not saying it will sound better, but Audirvana is an extra option for special recording or two. I wil probably use both SONOS and Audirvana in the future.
