RE: Wondering whether to ditch iTunes and use the Audirvana front end

i've got a huge iTunes library, and are not planning at all to import it to A; iTunes has a much easier library manager

Agree. I love the way AV+ sounds and I hear no difference using it in "Integrated Mode" with iTunes managing my library vs letting AV+ do it. There shouldn't be any audible difference because either way, AV+ is bypassing Apple's CoreAudio.

I had AV+ many years ago and when they first came out with their own library management, it was horrible. It is much improved now, and I'm still seeing bug fixes in recent releases, but I still prefer iTunes for managing my library and letting AV+ handle the audio. I'm on AV+ 2.6.2 which I believe is the latest release.

I run mostly Roon these days but still fire up AV+.
