About:
Audirvana is a high-fidelity music playback software designed for audiophiles and music professionals. It provides bit-perfect audio output by taking direct control of the audio hardware, bypassing the macOS audio mixer to preserve the original quality of your music files. The software supports a wide range of high-resolution audio formats and integrates with streaming services like Tidal and Qobuz.
Key Features:
  • Bit-perfect playback bypassing macOS audio processing
  • Support for high-resolution audio formats (DSD, FLAC, ALAC, etc.)
  • Integration with Tidal and Qobuz streaming services
  • Advanced library management with metadata enrichment
  • Direct hardware control for optimal audio quality
Use Cases:
  • Critical listening and enjoyment of high-resolution music collections
  • Professional audio quality assessment and production workflow
  • Streaming high-fidelity audio from Tidal/Qobuz without quality loss
Alternatives:
  • Roon – More expensive, server-based architecture with multi-room support
  • iTunes/Music – Consumer-focused with audio processing, not bit-perfect by default
  • Audacity – Audio editor rather than playback software, no library management
