![]() ![]() ![]() All USB DACs will benefit from the improvement in sound quality provided by Audirvana Plus. Is Audirvana Plus optimized for specific USB DACs? If so, how?ĭ.P: There’s no particular optimization for any given model of USB DAC. In addition, Audirvana Plus reads all music in all audio file formats (WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WavPack, DSD, MQA…), whether they’re stocked at home, or on a hi-res streaming service such as Qobuz, TIDAL or HRA-Streaming. Audirvana Plus can handle all music libraries, regardless of their size, with an optimized user interface and advanced features. This is possible because Audirvana Plus reduces the audio signal path by using the most advanced algorithms, in order to make the computer as quiet as possible, and to allow the digital-to-analog converter to work in the best possible conditions. If that isn’t possible, then investing in a network audio player is justified, as you won’t be restricted when arranging the furniture in your room.ĭ.P: The main advantage and reason why Audirvana Plus is acclaimed by thousands of users and has been lauded many times by Hi-Fi professionals, is the improvement of sound quality. I recommend choosing between a USB DAC or a network audio streamer based on where the equipment is situated: if the computer can be placed near to the music system, a USB DAC will be the best option. So why not use it? They know how to use their computer and therefore don’t need to learn how to use a new piece of equipment that may not have a very ergonomic interface compared to their usual environment.Īnd Audirvana improves sound quality, whether it be with a USB DAC, or a network audio streamer. More and more amps are integrating streaming features: are computers, Macbooks in particular, still the best digital audio source?ĭ.P: Very often, the potential buyer of a network audio player (or a receiver with streaming functions ) already owns a Mac or PC at home. Today, my software has convinced over 80 000 music lovers on Mac. ![]() My software first won over a small circle of audiophiles before being released under the name Audirvana Plus. Trained as an engineer and armed with expert knowledge in computing, I started to develop a custom-made software. I realized then that there were no satisfactory solutions on the market to listen to my music on my Mac in the same conditions. Why did you decide to develop the Audirvana Plus software and what benefits does it provide the listener?ĭ.P: Eight years ago, like any true music lover passionate about new technology, I decided that I wanted to digitize my rather substantial CD collection. He agreed to answer our questions about the most widely used software by audiophiles on Mac and PC. Damien Plisson is the creator of the Audirvana Plus music player. ![]()
