2.6 expands plugin support with new plugin settings, adds drag-to-play from the app icon or window, and speeds up Music.app sync. Recent 2.x updates also brought pre/post-effects metering, post-fader metering, silent scrub, drag/drop autoplay, stronger metadata fallback handling, default Effect UIs, expanded plugin support, Effect Presets, SRC controls, Playlist sort columns, better window management, external audio interface handling, and visual refinement. Fidelia 2 is a complete rebuild. The app is rewritten in Swift on a new C++ audio engine with no legacy dependencies, while keeping the familiar interface intact. Fidelia Advanced features are now built into the core app. The rebuilt DSP engine adds mastering-grade processing including psychoacoustic dither, frequency-dependent headphone crossfeed, and dual-engine reference sample rate conversion. Fidelia 2 also adds batch artwork lookup, format conversion with dither, Music.app sync, DSD and APE import to Apple Lossless without loss of dynamic range, expanded Fidelia Remote controls, and truly gapless playback.

2.5 adds metering pre/post effects or post fader with lively ballistics, silent scrub option, and drag/drop autoplay. 2.4 includes even better handling of fallback cases for audio metadata, default UI's for effects, and even better plugin support. If you've ever wanted to listen to your music library through a Strymon BigSky or Moog saturator, now you can. 2.3 adds enhanced support for various Effect auth methods, Effect Presets, expanded SRC adjustments, and Playlist sort columns. 2.2 improves window management and handling of external audio interfaces. 2.1 includes minor visual fine-tuning. 2.0 is a complete rebuild. Everything is new. For Fidelia Advanced customers: Everything you unlocked is now built into the core app. No action needed. New DSP engine: The audio engine is rebuilt from scratch in C++. No legacy dependencies. The DSP chain now includes mastering-grade processors that previously required expensive standalone plugins — psychoacoustic dither, frequency-dependent headphone crossfeed, and dual-engine reference sample rate conversion. New app (same look): The entire app is rewritten in Swift, matching the interface design that users know. The foundation is modern — the face is familiar. New library capabilities: Batch album artwork lookup. Drag-to-tag, paste-to-tag. Format conversion with dither. Music.app sync. New format support: DSD files (DSF) are imported and converted to Apple Lossless 24-bit/176.4 kHz — audiophile-grade conversion, no third-party tools required. Monkey's Audio (APE) is imported and converted to Apple Lossless at source sample rate and bit depth. Your DSD library is no longer locked out. Remote integration: Fidelia Remote now has access to the Effect slots and shuffle/repeat controls. Gapless playback: Version 2.0 uses a pre-buffer + seamless splice architecture. Gapless means gapless.

- Fixed an occasional distortion showing up with enabled Dither during playback of loud enough files - Moving player window to the edge of library window will now make library window follow the player while dragging - Added preference setting whether playback should be interrupted when adding new files to library - Cleaned up app preferences visually and removed unused options - Fixed possible crash while loading library and importing at the same time - Fixed playback timer being delayed by 1 second

Remove library cleanup for now, to be re-released after more testing.

Fixed distortion issue showing up with enabled dither during playback of loud enough files Moving player window to the edge of library window will now dock to library window, to follow the player while dragging Added preference setting whether playback should be interrupted when adding new files to library Cleaned up app preferences visually and removed unused options

Improved stability on quit if "Arturia Pre V76" plugin was loaded When importing multiple files, start playback with the first one Don't autoplay newly imported tracks if there's already one playing Resolve duplicates in the library when using "Open with..." in Finder while having app closed Allow import from Finder directly to selected playlist even if they already exist in the library Bring all windows to front when opening files from Finder Allow import by dropping folders on app icon in Dock

Further stability improvements Ensure last selected playlist persists through app close/launch

Stability improvements following performance optimizations for library management!

Library storage performance has been significantly improved! This should help you if you have a large music archive. Prevent adding duplicates to the Library Remove existing duplicates in Library Added name to first (ordinal) column in songs table Display localised date of adding song in songs table Improved stability on app quit when certain plugins were loaded

Library maintenance will be run on launch, resulting in better handling of song metadata such as release year Added ability to edit song release year via song info panel Improved handling of AU file format Improved track and disc sorting order after editing song track or disc number Improved library loading progress handling Fixed possible crash while handling various events Fixed memory management while reading FLAC and M4A files

Improved stability on import when non-audio files are present in imported folder structure Improved stability of m4a files with unexpected metadata format Improved stability when handling partially malformed audio files Improved stability of song loading Better performance when heavy processing has been applied to audio signal

Resolve an issue that could prevent the display of some 3rd-party plugin UI in some cases

improved playback advancing to the next song improved sorting by album and artist in Library improved import order to be more predictable added reading track and disc number metadata from m4a files minor ui improvements

- Improved stability related to integration with 3rd-party plugins - Improved Player UI interaction - Improved memory management to improve overall stability - Further improved song loading and switching

Automatically play tracks imported using Finder "Open with..." or dragged and dropped on Player window Improve stability related to handling parameter changes for Dither

- added drag & drop files on player (or Fidelia icon in the dock) to add them to library - saving iTunes playlists sorting, shuffle & repeat state - improved stability when quickly switching between the tracks - improved fault tolerance on various audio file read errors

Resolve an issue that affected playback for certain formats

availability status of songs from external volumes now dynamically changes when volume is (un)mounted improved library loading performance help prevent duplicate tracks on import improve stability of output device selector

Resolve an issue which was causing gaps between tracks during playback for certain formats!

Improved memory stability More efficient management of audio track file references, reducing save operations and improving performance Better performing output devices control
