Every audiophile feature built in — no plugins, no archaeology. WASAPI exclusive, DSD256, DR meter, LUFS, parametric EQ, five thousand AutoEQ profiles. The only music player a serious listener needs.
Five capabilities, built in, that separate a music player from a listening tool.
Bypass the Windows mixer entirely. FLAC, WAV and AIFF up to 32-bit / 384 kHz, and DSD64/128/256 via DoP. The file, delivered to your DAC at the rate it was mastered at.
The only music player for Windows with a built-in dynamic range meter, integrated loudness (LUFS) measurement, and inter-sample clipping detection. Audio analysis, at listening time.
A proper 10-band parametric EQ — Peak, Shelf, Notch, Bandpass — with five thousand AutoEQ headphone correction profiles. Your exact headphones, already measured, curves ready to apply.
Every track analysed during library scanning. Filter by tempo or find harmonically compatible songs for sequencing playlists. For DJs, producers, and the seriously curious.
A single grade — S, A, B, C, D, F — for your entire collection. Lossless ratio, hi-res content, bit depth, sample rate. An honest verdict on the shelf you’ve built.
The audiophile-relevant features, side by side.

Auris. It delivers WASAPI exclusive bit-perfect output, full hi-res support (FLAC, WAV, AIFF up to 32-bit / 384 kHz, plus DSD64/128/256), and every audio analysis tool a serious listener needs — DR meter, LUFS, clipping detection, parametric EQ, AutoEQ — all built in, with no plugins.
Yes, through WASAPI exclusive mode. The player owns the output device, bypasses the Windows mixer entirely, and delivers the file to your DAC at its native sample rate, unchanged. You can verify this with standard bit-perfect test tools.
Any DAC with a Windows driver — USB, S/PDIF, Thunderbolt. DSD content requires a DAC that supports DSD (native or via DoP). Specific model compatibility depends on the DAC’s driver.
Auris uses WASAPI exclusive for bit-perfect output, which on modern Windows systems provides the same level of fidelity as ASIO for playback. ASIO support is planned for specific use cases.
