What does Audivana do that TIDAL "Exclusive Mode" does not?


I am currently running TIDAL on my MacBook Pro. I have TIDAL’s "Exclusive Mode" on so hopefully the digital signal is going straight out the USB port to a RME ADI-2 DAC without IOS messing with it. If that is true, why would something like Audivana be any use to me?

Thank you

i got Audirvana so I could manage me local files as well as stream Tidal. Audirvana integrates my subwoofer perfectly. Without Audirvana the pacing is not right on the subwoofy no matter what I do or where I move it. Audirvana states that the app does correct some phase and sound reproduction issues. I wish it had room compensation built in on a Mac... Windows 10 natively does although if you use REW or another prgram and a microphone you can load an AU Plugin and it does work ... I tried with my laptop mic and a trial program...it sounds good.
