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
