Description

Fidelia is the best sounding music player app available! Use your favorite plugins while listening.

Fidelia is a high-definition audio player for sophisticated music lovers. With support for all contemporary audio file formats and an elegant interface that focuses exclusively on music, it gives users the power and the freedom to organize, customize and savor their digital music collection at the highest possible fidelity in any circumstance. If you've invested in premium audio hardware, you should have the best audio software.

Fidelia provides a gateway to high-definition audio by supporting a wide range of high-quality formats — including FLAC, which iTunes does not support. As artists in every genre increasingly turn to high-quality formats, Fidelia gives discerning listeners a way to hear their music as it was meant to be heard.

Fidelia's stylish interface reflects users' pure passion for music, paying tribute to the iconic stereo systems of decades past while offering sleek, intuitive controls that Mac owners demand. A classically styled volume dial is augmented by Mute and Dim functions. A crisp, eye-pleasing display shows individual track details, stereo levels and audio waveforms. Fidelia also provides seamless access to your existing iTunes music library.

With Fidelia, savvy music lovers have the ability to further personalize audio playback by installing third-party Audio Unit plug-ins. For example, Fidelia reaches beyond the narrow parameters of typical built-in equalization controls, allowing users to install higher-quality EQ and other Audio Units plug-ins to suit any taste or listening environment.

With the Fidelia app for iOS (sold separately), users can turn their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a full-featured remote control for Fidelia.

NOTE: Fidelia cannot support DRM-protected files.

The ups and Downs of Fidelia

I have used this for so many years, I believe it was from another company and in the beginning it was great, but then it got forgotten about and the functionality suffered, but for the last year updates and bug fixes have been forthcomng on a monthly basis. This is the player where I put my masters in to play to other people. The 3 plug in slots are also useful, you can put analysis plugs in or EQ etc.....this is actualy quite an essential part of my set up.

Hey Dave, thanks for your support! Cheers.

Simple player with excellent sound

Love the concept of player focusing on the sound, skipping fancy features trendy at the moment.
What is really placing it on top of the others (often equally decent sounding) players is the ability of hosting plugins - whole new world of possibilities.
Every mac itself contains plenty plugins and there are loads of interesting free/cheap ones around. You can constantly evolve your sound, exciting isn't it?

Great Sounding Versitile Audio Player

Can change sample rate on the fly to match file sample rate, with good support for file formats. AU plug-in hosting is such a useful facility alongside usable output processing. Includes iTunes library support. Highly Reccomended, especially in a pro-audio enviroment.
