Overview
Support for high-resolution audio file formats
This Windows/Mac application supports playback of
5.6MHz DSD and 384kHz PCM audio files.
ESOTERIC HR Audio Player, which is available for both Windows and
Mac operating systems, is a high-quality audio playback application
that can handle high-resolution audio files. You will be able to enjoy
the playback of high-resolution audio files, including DSD, at high
audio quality without a complicated setup by using this application
in combination with a Grandioso D1 or another Esoteric D/A
converter with USB that supports such files.
While many previous DSD playback applications have been
specialized, requiring a high level of understanding and complicated
setups in order to play back high-quality audio, the Esoteric HR
Audio Player allows you to complete a high-quality audio playback
environment by simply installing the application and selecting the
connected device. After doing this, you will be able to play back
high-resolution files with high audio quality by simply dragging and
dropping the music files into order in the player.
In addition to providing a playback environment for high-resolution
files with little difficulty, this application has also been designed to
maximize the potential of supported devices with high-quality audio
playback. Simplifying the application screen and reducing CPU load
contribute to enabling even smoother playback. When playing
back DSD files from a Windows computer, DSD native playback is
supported using DoP and ASIO 2.1 modes. Each listener can set the
playback method according to personal preference. For listeners
that desire even better audio quality, the included RAM buffer
playback function prevents the degradation of audio quality due to
fluctuations in CPU load by loading the data temporarily into the
computer's memory.
