Hi-Res Audio Player
Hi-Res Audio Player is a desktop music playback application developed by Sony for listening to high-resolution audio formats including DSD and PCM files. It is designed for audiophiles and music professionals who require support for studio-grade audio quality and formats like DSF, DFF, WAV, FLAC, and other lossless codecs. The app integrates with professional audio hardware and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to deliver uncompressed sound reproduction.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results provide very limited information about Hi-Res Audio Player's macOS support or Apple Silicon availability. The only mention in the results appears to be a brief reference in a comprehensive hi-res audio player guide, which lists it as a Windows application with DSD and PCM support—but does not clarify whether it runs on macOS or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. We could not find evidence of active macOS distribution, regular updates, or Apple Silicon support. If you are currently running this app on macOS under Rosetta 2, we recommend contacting Sony directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or whether the app will continue to be supported through the September 2028 removal of Rosetta 2. Given the specialist nature of hi-res audio software, you may also want to explore actively maintained alternatives such as Audirvana, HQ Player, or Foobar2000, all of which explicitly support high-resolution formats and run natively on Apple Silicon.
