Audirvana is coming to Windows really soon,

HQPlayer is really good software if you love to upsample

JRiver has a more friendly playlist look and tagging.

hi

ok only ears can tell

but honestly , what kind of engine does a+ use?

does it patch files?

from the audirvana 3 plus homepage

thanks

 

Installation of A+ doesn't patch anything... before it could go deep in OS System to use is Direct Mode 'plugin' for better playback. Since Sierra and Now High Sierra direct mode can't be use because Apple Closed the door to software programmer for security... But if you really need Direct Mode you can still patch your OS by yourself to get it to work again...

If you use Sierra and High Sierra Direct Mode option is not there, but if you patch your OS, The option will be back in the preferences...

Hopefully, the worst that could happen is I have to factory restore the OS from the 'high sierra install' USB disk I made a couple months ago.

 

If you screw it yes you will have to restore, but it is not difficult, just some copy paste and restarts
