AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results we gathered show version 3.5 from 2024 and recent releases mentioning versions 1.0 and 1.1 in 2025, but contain no clear information about whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given that Audirvana is actively being updated and maintained (releases as recently as August 2025), the most helpful next step is to contact Audirvana directly or check their website to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon version has been released. If the current version you have installed is Intel-only and you are running an Apple Silicon Mac, you should verify the architecture of the latest build before the September 2028 deadline when macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 support entirely. Many audio players and audiophile-focused software are slower to transition to native builds, so it is worth checking with the vendor to understand their roadmap.
