A tour

One window, three ways to use it.

Browse, listen, mix. The same library feeds all three, and nothing is copied or imported twice.

  1. 01 / 03

    Library

    Artwork, BPM, Camelot key and one-click loading onto deck A or B, on every row.

Signal path

Nothing between the file and your DAC.

MusicManager shows what actually reaches your speakers. When the chain is clean, it says so. When it isn't, it tells you why.

Bit-perfect ✓

The DAC is set to the track's sample rate and receives the samples as integers, unchanged.

On 32-bit integer output, macOS keeps 24 bits; the app shows “24-bit effective”.

Hi-fi

Bit-perfect, and verified.

The app sets your sound card to each track's sample rate and sends the samples as they are: no conversion, no software volume. The mode is always shown: Bit-perfect, Resampled 192 → 96 kHz, or Bluetooth (compressed). Nothing is hidden.

Deck relay

From listening to mixing, without a gap.

Switch to the DJ Mixer while a track is playing. It keeps going on deck A or B, at the same position, and you pick the next one. The way back works too.
