Instead of streaming lossy and compressed MP3 type files, they are offering digital CD quality and higher resolution streams. Obviously this is possible now with the ubiquity of high speed internet access almost everywhere. The MP3 format was developed during the period when computing devices had tiny hard drives and home and mobile internet speeds were extremely slow.
The MP3 format compresses CD files to one-tenth of their original size by cleverly removing much of the data that the program deems to be inaudible and superfluous. To most casual listeners, MP3s sound just fine. On earbuds, Bluetooth headphones and speakers, built-in laptop and phone speakers, and car stereos, they can sound good enough.
However, when spend some money to get a better music playing system, you may notice the shortcomings of the compressed music streams. For the vast majority of people, using a computer and mobile apps for these services is more than satisfactory. On the other hand, for those who want to turn it up a notch, there are applications on the market that take those services and combine them with your digital music files, and claim to enhance their sound quality as well.
I want to discuss and review an app that I use called Audirvana. Most of the ones I found focused on the technology and features, said it sounds good and recommend it. There were no explanations or descriptions of HOW it actually sounded better. Not even the links to articles and reviews that Audirvana posted on their own website contain this information. Let me make this very clear, I am certainly not a digital guru. I am simply an enthusiast of digital and analogue music.
This is a topic that you can get really deep into, and when I have attempted it, my head starts to spin. I believe I possess a basic understanding of the principles of digital music reproduction, and I will try make this as clear and simple as I can. Audirvana 3. They claim to have a secret sauce that upgrades the sound quality of your digital files. I will be evaluating the MacOS version. Audirvana was released as a Mac application an by a French digital music enthusiast and programmer.
Simply put, if you attempt to play a high resolution audio file through a computer, it down-samples and degrades it to be compatible with more common, lower resolution audio files. They say this process also introduces unwanted noise on top of the compromised signal quality. What Audirvana does is bypass all of that code so a purer, more robust digital signal is delivered to the digital-to-analogue converter, including higher than CD quality files.
A feature Audirvana calls. SysOptimizer optimizes Audio Playback by deactivating non-essential background services that can cause interference detrimental to sound quality.
