They therefore systematically oversample the signal, but work with limited computing power and more or less efficient algorithms. Thus, Audirvana will enable you to get the best out of your DAC by transmitting adapted and already decoded information, which will limit the computer processing to what is strictly necessary.Īlmost all DACs on the market today operate on a very high frequency switching principle with a resolution of only a few bits. You may specify whether or not it supports the DSD or MQA formats, the maximum sampling rate, and the resolution allowed.

The default settings are generally satisfactory, but to optimize the sound quality of your system, regardless of file formats, make sure that Audirvana has the technical information about your DAC. Depending on its quality, the DAC is more or less accurate, able to support certain formats or high resolutions, and to perform consistent calculations in real time such as oversampling. The DAC is a key element in sound quality. When choosing the system on which Audirvana will play your music, you select the digital-to-analog converter DAC that will transform the digital data into an analog electrical signal that will drive your speakers.
