I am NOT particularly a Naim fan, however the server is extraordinary. The server sounds very very good. To give you some reference, my system is the server paired with a the Naim DAC V1, Manley electronics and Merlin monitors with the cadre of Decware and Nordost cabling.

Hope this helps. It is free. The interface seems barebones but really has all the features you will need. I am also a subscriber to Tidal Hifi and Roon. Good luck with your project. Bob – I’m a contemporary age-wise. The way I got unconfused about setting up a digital library was to just jump in and try it. I tend to take a pretty basic and pragmatic approach to most things audio – which is to say, I don’t obsess about audio quality differences that others talk about if I can’t hear ’em e.

I’m probably not your poster child for “audiophilia” as defined by some. Consider my comments representing the “low tech” end of an implementation continuum.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are preference options to ensure good quality rips. It works consistently.

No glitches or mysterious software issues on my MBA. I use BitPerfect v3. The Gungnir feeds into my integrated amp or pre-amp depending on what equipment I’m running. All I can say is, it works reliably and things sound very good. I guess it’s jitter reduction, but to my ear the sound from ripped CDs vs actual playback in a CDP seems smoother and more relaxed and I don’t mean due to changes in frequency response.

Good luck in your research and final decision. He sets up his MusicVault servers to be pretty much plug’n’play and can recommend the version that’s most appropriate for your needs. He’ll even long on to your machine to help you through any problems you might have. Best of all, since his server is a PC optimized for ripping, storage, and playback, it can be upgraded as the PC audio paradigm matures. Thank for your replies. The Music Vault and the Naim server are both way out of my budget.

They are, however cool as hell and would be nice to have. If that’s normal, it’s too long. The number of hours I would spend just ripping approaches ! I’m guessing I’ve got my settings wrong. Bitperfect, as an addon to Itunes, is an excellent way to improve sound quality. Amazing bargain too. When ripping, there are a lot of variables. Damaged or dirty CDs will take much longer because the software attempts to reread the disc.

Is the drive internal? Ripping a libary takes a lot of time even on the fastest machines. Your libary will also require some thought on HD storage as it grows. Keep us posted. Hello jzzmusician. Gosh, have to say I’m very surprised to hear 15 minutes to rip a CD. That has not been my experience using the latest version of iTunes v Recent CDs I imported to my iTunes library took at most a minute or two.

Certainly under 5 min. I am no IT guru so we will quickly reach the limit of what I can tell you. Is it possible your CDs are dirty or damaged pls. Lots of CD treatment products available if needed; low budge option: eye glass cleaning spray and microfibre cloths. Because of storing my iTunes library on an external drive, I do have to hold down the option button when clicking on the iTunes icon.

This generates a pop up window asking me to choose the iTunes library I often feel like the poor country cousin on A’gon. Nice to read supporting comments. Good points too about shutting down any non-essential programs and doing a re-boot prior to importing CDs.

As a follow up to my own initial comments Rip time for a single CD is a couple of minutes, and if the CD is not to obscure the meta data is captured from the net. I prefer the Apple format over the PC format as the interface with remote options iPhone or iPad is basically seamless and very easy to navigate. Good Listening Peter. Sorry – late arriving thought Simple ,yet the Audirvanna program has lots of features that are of use. Question: I know how to get artwork but where do I add them?

To erase Audirvana library and create a new one: In the Finder, hold the option key, and pull down the Go menu. Select Library to open the hidden user Library folder. Select and delete the Audirvana folder. Next time you open Audirvana, it will ask you to create a new library, and replace the trashed folder. Question re bit rate and sample rate.

Click to expand I allude to this in my post immediately above, just a little long winded and rambly. RTally , Feb 13, Dswankey likes this. I use Audirvana on 2 Macs at home because it sounds better and can be used headlessly. Neither Music nor iTunes does that. I ordered the Apple SuperDrive. Should be here Tuesday.
