Description
Decibel is an audio player tailored to the particular needs of audiophiles.
Decibel supports all popular lossless and lossy audio formats including FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Musepack, WavPack, Monkey's Audio, Speex, True Audio, Apple Lossless, AAC, MP3, MOD, DSF, DSDIFF, WAVE and AIFF.
For lossless formats such as FLAC and WAVE, and for Ogg Vorbis and specially tagged MP3 files, Decibel supports gapless playback with seamless transitions between tracks. Decibel also features replay gain adjustment for more comfortable listening.
Decibel has an intentionally minimal user interface designed to be instantly intuitive and non-intrusive. Decibel has an optional 31-band equalizer for unlimited sonic adjustment and provides precise digital and device volume control.
For users desiring more control over their audio, Decibel can take exclusive control of the output device using hog mode. Additionally, Decibel can automatically adjust the output device's sample rate to that of the playing track, preventing audio quality degradation associated with software sample rate conversion.
Finally, Decibel can load and play files entirely in memory, eliminating audio glitching associated with disk access.
For users with exaSound DACs, Decibel supports native DSD playback via ASIO. Decibel also contains DoP (DSD over PCM) support.

Ratings and Reviews
Updated - This software is gold!
I am writing this review because the author took his time to update the software. I purchased it by the end of 2011. This player is easy, simple and to the point. Plays all my Flac/Ape format albums the same way as the good old Winamp. Thanks for the best music player on OS Mac!
Stunning Sound Quality
This is just awsome playing FLAC's
Well done
Sounds great
I'm using this with a NuForce Icon 2 external (USB) DAC. Some might think that Decibel is a bit basic in terms of features but it plays FLAC on a Mac, recognises ReplayGain tags and sounds great. I like that the developer has put sound quality first and features second. That said, some features would be nice. Specifically: ability to generate ReplayGain tags within the application, a library, a metadata editor. Still, even in this form it's a great bit of kit and big step towards an audiophile player for Mac users.
