PragmaticAudio Lossless

PragmaticAudio Lossless is a music player that gets your music to your network speakers and headphones without losing a bit, and shows you exactly how it arrives.

• AirPlay 1 and AirPlay 2 speakers and receivers: HomePod, Apple TV, AirPort Express, WiiM, shairport-sync and more
• Wi-Fi headphones such as the HIFIMAN HE1000 WiFi and Arya WiFi
• DLNA / UPnP renderers, WiiM and LinkPlay streamers, and Cast devices
• Or this iPhone's own speaker, headphones or USB DAC

• Your home network: shared folders (SMB) on a NAS or computer, and DLNA media servers
• Cloud storage: OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive and iCloud Drive
• Files on your iPhone
• Other apps, on iOS 27: choose "Pragmatic Lossless" as the output in Control Center and the app streams what you play, received as 32-bit audio

SEE THAT IT IS LOSSLESS
Every output shows a coloured dot. Green: bit-perfect, exactly the samples the music was made of. Orange: converted once, carefully, here. Red: converted twice, or a lossy file. Tap an output to see the whole chain: the source, any conversion, the route (AirPlay 1 or 2, ALAC or PCM), and what the receiver accepts.

A PROPER MUSIC PLAYER
• Album art, lyrics, and album and artist reviews when they are available
• A queue you can reorder, gapless playback, and a Now Playing screen
• Live views: spectrum, graphic EQ, meters, VU, spectrogram, a chroma spiral and Glow spiral, Terrain, Helix, Tunnel, Spiral stack and Stereo cloud in 3D, with a full-screen mode
• Bass and treble or AutoEQ / Equalizer APO corrections for each device

In English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, 日本語, Nederlands and 中文.

No accounts, no ads, no tracking.

Good to know: AirPlay carries up to 44.1 kHz / 16-bit (48 kHz / 24-bit on some AirPlay 2 receivers), so hi-res files are converted once on the way. Audio from other apps arrives at iOS's 48 kHz. Streaming apps such as Apple Music and Spotify do not let other apps read their files; play them through Control Center instead.
