Direct USB DAC output

System mixers often convert audio to 48 kHz and 16-bit. Bitperfect Player sends music straight to your DAC at the file's native rate, if your DAC supports it.

Max PCM: 32-bit / 768 kHz, DAC permitting
DSD: DSD64 to DSD512, DAC permitting
Protocol: UAC1 and UAC2
System mixer: Bypassed

Seven stages, or four.

Take a 192 kHz / 24-bit file. Many Android phones send it through 7 stages and cut it to 48 kHz / 16-bit. Bitperfect Player uses 4 stages and sends it to your DAC unchanged. It handles up to 32-bit / 768 kHz and DSD512, if your DAC supports them.

The Bit-perfect badge shows only when nothing changes. That means direct USB, no effects, and the file's own rate and depth. Effects or the phone mixer show Resampled. The AI Enhancer shows Enhanced.

Only one app uses your DAC

Bitperfect takes over your USB DAC while music plays, so other apps cannot use it. The operating system asks your permission once.

Your DAC follows each file's rate

Your DAC switches to each track's own rate, such as 44.1 kHz or 192 kHz. If your DAC cannot play a rate, the badge says Resampled.

PCM: up to 768 kHz
Bit depth: 16, 24 and 32
DSD: DoP and native

Dongles and desktop DACs, same path

Works with UAC1 and UAC2 DACs, from a USB-C dongle to a desktop DAC. If your DAC has hardware volume, Bitperfect Player uses it. With Bit-perfect lock on, DACs without volume stay fixed at 0 dBFS line level. Use an external amplifier, or unlock software volume for sensitive headphones.

0 dBFS is full line level. Use external volume controls when connecting sensitive headphones.

The badge tells you what reached the DAC

Bit-perfect shows only when nothing changes the file. Enhanced shows when AI Enhancer is active. Resampled shows if rate or depth changed. Lossy marks lossy files or connections. Unknown shows when state cannot be confirmed.

Two ways to send DSD, picked for you

Your DAC gets DSD64 to DSD512 as native DSD if it can take it, or as DoP if not. The app picks for you, and you can change it. If neither works, the file is converted to PCM and the badge says so.

Range: DSD64 to DSD512
Transport: Native or DoP
