Audirvana
Description
Audirvana Plus is a powerful audiophile player for Mac, delivering extensive features and an uncompromising approach to high-fidelity audio. This sophisticated player supports virtually every existing audio format, including AIFF, WAVE, AAC, MP3, FLAC, Monkey’s Audio APE, WavPack, Apple Lossless, and DSD files (DSDIFF including DST, DSF, and SACD ISO). When a compatible DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is available, audirvana routes the signal directly in DSD mode, while for other devices, it utilizes high-quality conversion to PCM. Given the rising popularity of the DSD format, native support for direct interaction with your DAC is a valuable advancement for Mac audiophiles.
In addition, Audirvana supports multichannel music playback, provided you have the necessary hardware set up to fully experience immersive sound on your Mac.
Sample rate conversion with Audirvana is handled through the top-tier Sound Forge iZotope 64-Bit SRC engine. In short, this hybrid low-pass filter secures complete preservation of sound quality as audio is translated between different digital sample rates, maintaining original clarity and fidelity.
Effortlessly manage and play your local audio files and preferred high-resolution streaming services in all supported formats, all within an intuitive and unified software interface. Enjoy uncompromised audio playback and push your Mac sound system to its full potential with the audirvana mac suite, offering numerous advanced settings and enhanced parameters.
