The new version 3.5 of Audirvana for MacOS brings an improvement in sound quality thanks to the complete rewriting of the software. Version 3.5 also presents a new graphical user interface, the result of work in integrating the choices between two themes proposed to users: a light mode and a dark mode.
To make it easier to use, the following features have been added:
A new view by Artists, in addition to views by Tracks and by Albums
Direct selection of the audio device via a button directly on the main window
A new search system, to facilitate searching by Track, Albums, Artist, or Playlist
Integration of HRA Streaming, a high definition streaming service from the German HIGHRESAUDIO download site
A new Mini-Player
Audirvana is a French company founded in 2011 by Damien Plisson, an engineer recognized as an expert in the audiophile world. Since its creation, the company has developed Audirvana,* the reference hi-fi player for Mac, which has quickly established itself among audiophiles worldwide. Its sound quality and reliability have won over sound engineers, who use it both in the studio and in concert. Audirvana has received numerous awards such as the 2016 Audio Excellence Award from the Japanese magazine AUDIO ACCESSORY, the ?Five Star? award for an Exceptional Product from iCreate magazine in September 2017, and the ?Remarkable? award from VUm?tre magazine in 2018.
My opinion - a substantial improvement over earlier versions
However, JRiver ver 25 for Mac and 26 for Windows does essentially the same thing in taking control of the audio device in exclusive mode. Audirvana does go one step further in the Mac version by disabling many background functions
