€14.99 for Qobuz Studio Premier, FLAC 24Bit 96-192kHz streaming.To that, you have to add the cost of your music streaming subscription : I kept Plex for my movies/series and took Audirvana for my music.

Personally, after the 30-day free trial, I took a Studio Access subscription. Regular free updates all along the year.Last but not least, we can’t end this review, without talking about the price.Ĭompared to Roon, Audirvana is surprisingly more affordable, as a monthly subscription only costs $/€6,99 or $/€5,88 per month, if you get Studio Access, a yearly subscription. Lastly, if I mentioned the oversampling before, Audirvana also has various replay gain settings, to avoid volume/gain mismatch between your tracks and albums. If you find one track that couldn’t be analyzed correctly, you can tag it manually, directly from the player. Audirvana relies on fingerprint analysis, like Shazam, and is on-point almost 90% of the time. Like Roon or Plex, the media library can be automatically scanned and sorted.

The search engine is good, even if it’s slightly faster on Mac than windows, and surprisingly it’s faster for me to use the Audirvana search engine, than Qobuz own search engine. If you can switch between light and dark themes, the team changes various things like the font, the space between the lines, the overall presentation of your albums, etc…

a bottom bar with playback controls, volume, and even quirky things like a playback quality checkerĬompared to the prior version, Audirvana Studio is a major visual upgrade.

a center frame, where all your files will appear, so you scroll and pick your music.

a left sidebar, where you can find all your sources, local files/radios/podcast/Qobuz/Tidal/Hi-Res Audio.

a top bar with a search console, sort/filter option, and a button to access the app settings.

The main screen is divided into four different sections: Once installed, Audirvana behaves like every other music apps, or so. So, after all that talk, it’s time to get into the review. In fact, I even found out that, sadly, one of the albums I bought a few years ago in DSD, was just a simple oversample of the CD version… Shame! And for each file, the player was able to confirm it what I was hearing was, indeed, a true Hi-Res file, or not.

I tried that on three files, an album that I personally ripped, an album bought on Qobuz, and a file that I upsampled, thanks to AIPM3 converter (MP3 256kbps -> FLAC 24bit/96kHz). Once you’ve done that, a new window appears and confirm if the file you’re listening to is a real Hi-Res file, or a scam (aka a fake Hi-Res file).

To access it, you have to switch from the full player to the mini player, and then click on the switch, located on the upper left-right. Obviously, the quirkiest feature of Audirvana is the IRCAM Amplify analyzer.
