Even to this day, your computer remains infinitely faster than the one in your phone/DAP/DAC for this kind of task. In fact, using your computer’s CPU to oversample your audio files is a great idea. use the power of your computer’s CPU for oversampling the signal.deliver the cleanest signal to your DAC,.From day one, Audirvana focused on two things: The software supports up to four plugins running at the same time, so you can have a multi-band equalizer and a convolution engine working together to get the best room acoustic correction filter, for your speakers. Those plugins, named VST on Windows, or AudioUnits under MacOS, require some expertise but allow experimented users to fine-tune their sound. Like many third-party players, Audirvana allows you to tweak your sound in various ways. But now, thanks to WASAPI or KERNEL support, Audirvana offers the same level of finesse on Windows. To do this it has direct and exclusive access to the device that bypasses the internal audio mixer, thus avoiding sound events from other apps and unwanted alterations to the audio format of your music.īefore, this technology was only available on MAC, thanks to Apple’s tight software/hardware lock. This mixer modifies the resolution of the audio samples according to a “lowest common denominator” rule and uses a low-power algorithm to avoid additional latency, which adds quantization artifacts in addition to quality loss.Īudirvana transmits intact data to the audio device (bit-perfect) following the shortest possible path. After reception and decoding, the signal passes through an audio “mixer” that combines sounds from different apps. ![]() Usually, computer audio playback consists of a sequence of independent tasks. ![]() This digital playback process is the heart of the software and has been continuously improved over the last 10 years, on both PC and MAC. Like Roon, Audirvana articulates around a proprietary Kernel, made to “ensure the best digital audio playback performance from a computer”.
