That changes later this month (June 2018) when Plisson, responding to customer demand, will release a Windows 10 version of Audirvana Plus. The catch? To date, Audirvana Plus has only been available to Mac users.

Many Tidal users report that Audirvana Plus also sounds quite a bit better than Tidal’s own desktop app. Audirvana Plus also offers a healthy dose of DSP functionality for source file upsampling outside of the DAC or tailoring frequency response to headphone, room or personal preference. Over the years, Parisian Plisson has grown his software app from a simple (iTunes-attached) audio player to a fully-fledged library organiser with Tidal and Qobuz integration, iOS remote control app and, more recently, UPnP network streaming and MQA core decoding. We’ve closely followed Audirvana Plus’ development since its 2011 debut.

Recognising that reducing a music playback software app’s burden on the host device’s CPU and RAM lowers electrical noise and improves sound quality is one Damien Plisson whose Audirvana Plus app sounds quite a bit better than iTunes.

If digital audio playback were just a matter of file storage and playback, of handing off ones and zeroes to a USB DAC, iTunes would be good enough for most of us, even audiophiles.īut things are never as simple as they appear on the surface.
