Megahertz v1.9.1 has been released and features numerous bug fixes and stability improvements to solidify its position as your pocket-sized FLAC-handling gizmo.
Megahertz is an audiophile-grade music player for your local library. No streaming. No subscriptions. No ads. Just your music, played exactly how you want it. Now on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs.
Built for the audio-obsessed:
Connect a USB DAC for bit-perfect playback when its sample rate matches the file. Megahertz passes your music through untouched, so you hear exactly what the artist intended, clean from file to output whether you are on reference headphones or a hi-fi setup.
Parametric & Graphic EQs:
Go beyond presets with both a graphic EQ as well as a full parametric equalizer: adjust frequency, gain, and Q for each band. Save custom profiles for different headphones or rooms, and import AutoEQ profiles from the community catalog via URL.
For the privacy paranoid:
No accounts. No tracking. No data collection. Your music stays on your device.
Megahertz is a one-time purchase. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no data harvesting. Just a music player that respects you and your library.
