Decaud is a bit-perfect music player for Mac and iPhone. Native DSD, hi-res lossless, exclusive device access, and a signal path you can actually see. Your files, your DAC, nothing in between.
Decaud can take your DAC for itself, so macOS can't resample your stream or mix other sounds into it. What's in the file is what reaches the hardware.
DSD64, DSD128, and DSD256 delivered untouched over DoP to capable DACs, with transparent high-quality PCM conversion everywhere else.
Every stage between file and device, laid out with a per-stage quality verdict. When something isn't bit-perfect, Decaud says so instead of hiding it.
Full-decode verification of each track's real quality. A "lossless" file that was made from a lossy master gets caught, not celebrated.
Multi-room AirPlay in perfect sync, Sonos and DLNA casting, NAS/SMB and DLNA streaming including DSD, and an iPhone remote for the Mac library.
Local-first files organized your way, serious tag editing with Discogs and MusicBrainz matching, bit-perfect CD ripping, and cue-sheet splitting, DSD included.
It's built by one person who thinks great sound shouldn't need a subscription. If it makes your music sound the way it should, you can keep it growing:
