I downloaded Foobar to my Mac, created a few folder for my albums, then moved the files into the folders. Seems to work fine with output to my external DAC and amp. Barebones just a file system I guess.
And it's free. Is that all it is really just a file system that plays virtually any file format? I use a Mac. All my files are high def FLAC 24 bit. I do not stream - these are all downloads I have purchased. Is it worth it? Last edited: Jun 7, Rattlin' Bones , Jun 7, Foobar is not as pretty in is basic form but it can be customized.
I didn't know you could get it for a mac. It's been years since I used Audirvana or a mac, but if Foobar was available at the time, I would never have purchased Audirvana. I'd buy more music instead. Maybe it has evolved into something more vsuable since then. Meatface , Jun 7, There are many add on components for Foobar I looked at Audirvana.
It looks nice! It covers many file types. I don't forsee any audible benefit over foobar. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Location: Katy, TX. Foobar is great if you want a player but it's not great for searching through files. It's okay, but not great. I personally like JRiver which handles all media not just music. It handles streaming and it's constantly being updated based on feedback from their forums. Also, JRiver doesn't restrict you from installing the software on multiple devices that you own.
JRiver does check to make sure you aren't sharing you licence by limiting the installations during a 1 year period, but, it's pretty easy to reset the installation limit if you run into the situation where you would ever need to go over that limit, like needing to do clean installs with operating systems.

One mistake I made with Foorbar was thinking when I "copied" files over to it, the copied files were stored in a Foobar folder. I lost the first HD Track downloads I did. Location: Sunshine State. Audirvana is my favorite software player and I consider it one of the best. To me, it sounds much better than Foobar and it is much more easier to use.
With the latest upgrades the GUI looks great. Audirvana's sound quality is at the same level as Roon which is as good as it gets today. Roon surely has the advantage in terms of database organization but in terms of sound quality they are very close. I don't think that Audirvana is expensive but even if it was, it would be worth every penny.

I'd say Foobar on Windows easily surpasses Audirvana in terms of feature count, but on Mac it's completely missing library support which is a major disadvantage if you want to search your music or have files spread across multiple drives.
If you have one folder with all of your music well-organized and you just want to drag and drop albums to play on it, it does just fine, but if your library is more complex or messy then Audirvana can be worth it. One thing I can't figure-it is the Foobar dmg file on my Mac. Usually it's like a zip file the Mac extracts the contents of the dmg and installs the app: after the app is installed I can delete the dmg. Looks like I can't delete the dmg file for Foobar???

MQA playback from either client sounds identical I like Audirvana as a simple, self-contained, fast, and flexible AU support, OTF resampling and DSD conversion if I want it , local player - which is useful on extended trips where I have the space for a laptop.
In home-use, I don't find any SQ benefit to it compared to Roon. Torq , Mar 13, I have been comparing 2. I also believe there is a distinct difference between Audirvana and Roon-- in comparison to Audirvana, I have found Roon has more bass which has the effect of slightly masking the treble and clarity. I also find that Audirvana is more dynamic, enveloping, and clearer in its presentation which is especially noticeable in old symphony recordings.
Audirvana is my preferred music player because it supports Audio Unit plugins and it has better customer support. I also should mention that I took the time to fix the kernel extension in Sierra to enable Direct Mode but I still hear the benefits of Audirvana with it switched off.
Last edited: Mar 13, What you need to do is: Select some music any music to play and when it starts check the direct mode box this will also enable you to alter the integer setting if you wish , then select the music you really want to listen to, activate play and the Direct Mode remains checked.
You have to repeat this each time and I'm not sure if it actually impacts on the music, but it might. Last edited: Mar 15, Tobes , Mar 18, Torq , Mar 18, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?
