READ IT ALL BEFORE DOING IT…
YES IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK…
GO SLOWLY…
ONLY COPY THE COMMANDS WITH NO EXTRA SPACES AFTER JUST THE TEXT…
I took this method on A+ forum and edited a bit, not all was written, more easy now…
i include in the package my El Capitan IOAudioFamily.kext and the Sierra one if something happened…
you can download onyx here, it is free:
Titanium Software - Home
Thank You Katsu!

1) Make Time Machine backup in case something goes wrong. (all went good for me)
2) How to Turn Off Rootless System Integrity Protection in MacOS Sierra:
Write the Terminal command on paper… You won’t have access at softwares then.
Note that there is 2 spaces before reboot… copy the last command also on paper… csrutil enable
Reboot OS X into Recovery Mode by holding Command + R keys simultaneously after you hear the startup chime.
When you see the Apple logo, let go of the keys.
Choose “Terminal” in the menu bar of the Mac and paste the following command:
csrutil disable; reboot
The Mac will then reboot itself automatically, just let it boot up as normal.
3) Copy file IOAudioFamily.kext from El Capitan /system/library/extension (included here if you don’t have it)
to Macos Sierra: /system/library/extension
4) In macos Sierra, open Terminal app (in utilities folder of applications) and paste the following command:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo chmod -R 755 IOAudioFamily.kext
sudo chown -R root IOAudioFamily.kext
5) Reboot and repair permissions of system files using Onyx
(maintenance tab… wait a couple of minutes for Onyx to repair)
Restart Mac.
6) Enable Direct Mode in the preferences of Audirvana Plus
I didn’t test it already, i enable it and then put back A+ in my login item…
Then restart to see it normally open.
Play a nice song with direct mode now again on… All good for me
7) If everything is OK, then Reboot OS X into Recovery Mode again by holding Command + R keys simultaneously after you hear the startup chime. When you see the Apple logo, let go of the keys,
and Choose Terminal App in the menu bar and the following command to enable SIP back again.
csrutil enable
