Audirvāna
Audirvāna is audio playback software for local music libraries, with Studio adding streaming music, radio, and podcasts. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports network playback through UPnP/DLNA and Chromecast as well as USB connections to DACs. Supported formats include FLAC, Ogg FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, WAV, APE, WavPack, AAC, MP3, DSF, DFF, ISO, CUE, and MQA. Studio can combine local and streaming tracks in playlists and favorites, with search, filtering, and sorting across sources. Its audio tools include upsampling, Audio Scan for checking file resolution, and signal processing such as parametric EQ, convolution, crossfeed, and output balance. The free Remote app for iOS and Android controls playback on a computer; processing stays on that computer. Studio Classic is $7.99 per month, and Studio Access is $79.99 per year. Origin is a $149.99 one-time license for local-library playback without a library-size limit. A 30-day free trial requires no payment information; there is no free plan.
