- For
- Listeners using DACs who want unaltered playback
- Worth noticing
- Its signal-path display distinguishes bit-perfect delivery from adaptation and gives the reason; the example data is explicitly labeled.
Field notes
The walkthrough lets visitors compare FLAC resolutions and DSD against DAC conditions such as exclusive access, a 24-bit limit, or a 48 kHz shared-mode ceiling. Its sample route names the source, processing state, device, and output mode, while noting that the display uses example data and is recreated from the app. The listed Windows installer is 112 MB and unsigned; the page does not confirm a macOS package format.
