Audirvana Plus, the hi-fi software player acclaimed worldwide, now comes to PC users.
The audiophile music player is now available with its new interface for Windows 10.
Paris, July 19, 2018—Audirvana, maker of Audirvana Plus, the reference hi-fi audio player first made for Mac users, announces the commercial release of the highly anticipated Windows 10 version. This new version features a totally redesigned user interface designed to change the way PC users enjoy and organize their music.
Created by Damien Plisson and acclaimed by users and audio specialists around the world, Audirvana Plus has quickly been recognized as the reference player, enabling music lovers who have a Mac to replace iTunes and dramatically improve the sound quality of their music library.
“After abandoning Windows for several years, I have to admit that I rediscovered this operating system with great pleasure to create this new product,” said Plisson. “I always keep in mind the same objective as for the Mac version—to obtain the best possible sound quality.”
How does Audirvana Plus improve sound quality?
Audirvana Plus acts on two levels to turn the computer into a high-end hi-fi player:
- It significantly shortens the audio signal path, and removes all noise and other electromagnetic interferences to deliver pure sound.
- Employing very high-quality algorithms far superior to those used in digital-to-analog converter (DAC) chips, it performs the necessary digital processing before conversion to analog, to deliver perfect audio fidelity.

This is a great news…as a prior user of Audirvana Plus on MacOSX I have missed the features and playback quality of this great music app since being forced to migrate from MacBook Pro to a Windows10 laptop over a year ago. Thanks for bringing this finally to Windows10!!!
So for us PC / Windows only users, does this mean we can now listen to MQA albums with Audirvana, which is far cheaper than the only other method to achieve this; Roon?
As long as devices can be Audirvana end points much like Roon endpoints – in my example I have an SoTM sMS-200 which could benefit from this (certified as a Roon endpoint).
i doubt the playback quality is better than acoustica mixcraft 8. DAW is far more superior than music player.
