The complete version of the press release regarding Audirvana 3.1 is available here. Audirvana Mac r PC Home reviews Rviewing the Ultimate DigitaI Audio Playback: Audirvna Reviewing the UItimate Digital Audio PIayback: Audirvana By Jhn Abrena - J0 56 Whether its for background ambience at work, some gaming tunes, or just lazily hanging out with friends, everybody loves listening to many types of audio. We can only hope that this application and its endless possibilities will one day be available on PC. This will allow the user to broadcast from a Mac and playback on any sound reproduction system that includes a device, network player, amplifier or an all-in-one system compatible with UPnP/DLNA! We can only welcome this progress (tested in its beta version and greatly appreciated by our colleague Benoît Rébus, who’s in charge of developing the manufacturer integration of the Qobuz app), which will make Audirvana, initially a basic software player, a powerful piece of software for mobile applications, benefiting Qobuz's Hi-Res playback. This now allows Mac computers to wirelessly broadcast Hi-Res audio files up to 24-Bit/192 kHz (and also DSD) to devices compatible with UPnP/DLNA. Indeed, Damien Plisson, the creator of Audirvana, a player he continues to improve after the successful integration of the Qobuz application in Hi-Res, has updated it with a UPnP/DLNA connection which compensates for the limitations of the dated Apple Airplay wireless connection system (16-Bit/48 kHz!). As one poster stated, Roon support suggested modifications to the output to enhance the SQ. After a beta test period, the 3.1 version of Audirvana, the famous audiophile player for Mac, greatly appreciated by audiophiles all over the world, and particularly those living in Japan, is now available and opens up a whole host of new possibilities for Mac users. So far the consensus of opinions posted here favor Audirvana over Roon for sound quality and Roon for interface, Roon radio and additional info on the music played.
