Even the most skeptical listeners – I was one of them – were surprised to hear real improvements through Audirvana’s eponymous software.
Audirvana reviews code#
Why? Because everyone was baffled at how powerful this little piece of code seemed to be. But, to my surprise – and Damien’s too – as time goes by, the little software became more and more famous in the audiophile circle. The idea behind the tool was to improve the computer’s music playback, by removing all the digital processes applied by the OS.Ī first plugin came out, only available for macOS at the beginning, designed like a Foobar nerdy little brother – if the first was not nerdy enough.
