Ratings and Reviews
Almost perfect except...
This is the best high res player on the App Store but for one major missing feature. I need to be able to play my high res music in Apple car play. There are other apps that do this (eg vox) but none are as good as keisertone for all other purposes. I don’t need the output to be high res. I just can’t afford the memory space to have two copies of everything (one in keisertone and one in iTunes). I would happily pay a premium monthly subscription for this option as would everyone else I’ve spoken to about it.
All that said, if you have flac files or other high res music and carry a dac such as the amazing dragonfly red, and if you don’t use apple CarPlay, don’t hesitate to get this app!
Choices
This app is by far the one to offer so many choices within its various settings. You can change the background to fine tuning the eq settings.
My favourite is the spline 32k.
Cross fade playback is one of the best although not as good as Onkyo hf app.
About as good as a music player can get!
I’ve tried a number of music player apps with EQ, and they’ve all functioned ok, but this one has so much extra flexibility, especially with the EQ, being able to select a 30-band EQ with 0.1dB increments allows real fine-tuning of the sound of a pair of head-or ear-phones, to get them to sound just the way you want.
Then there’s cross-fade, fade-out on pause, and HD Audio, which I haven’t even looked into yet, I can totally recommend this app to anyone who wants more than just press and play functionality.
