| Spec score · Audio Enhancement Software | 7.9 (#9) | 7.4 (#22) |
| Compatibility | The current download page lists Dante Via 1.4.1.2 for Windows and 1.4.1.3 for macOS. | SoundPipe requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14.4 or later; Intel Macs are not supported. |
| Routing | It offers drag-and-drop routing between audio devices and applications. | It can send app audio into a video call, route a microphone through a recorder, or feed system sound into a DAW or streaming app, including mixing multiple sources into one device. |
| Security | Audinate says newer Dante Via versions use HTTPS for license-server connections; versions earlier than Windows 1.3.1.4 and macOS 1.3.1.3 use HTTP and cannot activate through the secure license server. | The maker says SoundPipe ships a signed and notarized driver built on Apple's current audio-driver API, with no kernel extension or reduced security setting required. |
| Trial | Dante Via offers a 30-day free trial started by downloading and installing the software. | The full app is available without an account or card; each trial session routes audio normally for 20 minutes and can be restarted as often as desired. |
