I’ve been using JRiver for nearly 10 years.
Audirvana studio subscription upgrade#
E.g the pre-order upgrade price for MC28 is $19.98 for one OS or $27.98 for all three OS's (Windows, MacOS, Linux). Nonetheless, I normally get the latest upgrade at the special pre-order price. You can skip a few upgrades without significant downfall. JRIver Media Center is a "mature" piece of software. That’s why I’m looking forward to supporting the Audirvana development. But It’s silly to think a one-time purchase now will continue to be of value for me for the next 3, 5, or 8 years. I require a music app for local and streaming music it’s just as necessary as my DAC, amp, and headphones. If another product fits my needs better than Audirvana, then I’ll move to that. I’d gladly purchase an upgrade to version 4.0 or pay a subscription. And that’ll only happen by paying Damien every month, year, or every couple years.īoth Roon and HQP are apps that do different things at different price points… but I’ve found that Audirvana (currently) is a valuable product for me. What value is there in “owning” those abandoned apps?Įvery user who finds value in Audirvana wants the product to be maintained. Think of how many mobile apps you’ve purchased that no longer run on your current phone. That license you “own” when you purchase software is worthless without the continued support of a developer to enhance and maintain the app thru future OS releases. If people posting to this thread want Audirvana to succeed, they’re silly to not want to pay for new features and enhancements. As others have stated, purchased software has a limited lifespan of usefulness. Good software development requires continuous revenue, from both new user purchases and existing customer upgrades.
Audirvana studio subscription update#
This update has to be massive, all bugs before solved + some improvements in sound and in look and possibilities to makes what we like in database vision…and not messing with all that was working in v3.5
When OS doesn’t work anymore you revert back and stay there with what you bought. Subscribing is paying for something you don’t own, i don’t like that either.
