Does Audirvana Studio improve sound quality on a Mac?

Thanks for that… I assumed they were the same thing. Live and learn.

I’m in love with this upsample feature, I’m able to hear instrument details that I haven’t heard before and the sound separation is superb. Not sure if this makes the audio less “pure” but I prefer listen all these little details, and when I’m back on Apple Music or Spotify, it all feels bland. haha. Good to know I’m not the only one noticing this!

The sound improvement between 3,5 and Studio is dramatic. Not just the detail; the sound stage is very much wider with well-mastered albums and the bass is more prominent, but nicely balanced. A far more contemporary sound.
