  Hi-Res Audio Player, Lossless Audio Converter and Tools

  

  Hi-Res audio players & media servers for lossless reproduction, CD- & DVD-grabbers for ripping digital music collections, audio tools and software to tag, record and convert, as well as other useful software is listed here.

  A) High Definition Audio Test Files

  To verify that the setup of your USB-Audioserver and DAC works fine you can download 24bit FLAC test files.

  B) BitPerfect Audio-Server for Linux

  AP Linux
  A free Audiophile Linux operating system, dedicated to bit perfect RT digital audio playback.

  C) Audio-Clients for Linux

  MPD
  The Music Player Daemon (MPD) — basis for bit-accurate audio playback.

  D) Audio-Player & Server for Windows 7

  foobar2000
  Versatile but rudimentary player & server which can be used both for building puristic bit accurate high-end music servers as well as widely available components in all possible formats for playback of different formats, as streaming server, for ripping CDs, etc. With tools such as MonkeyMote this is also great for remote control with cell phones and tablet PCs (freeware).

  E) Audio-Player for Mac OS X

  VOX
  This is your choice for OS X Yosemity (OS X 10.10) or better. Easy to setup and easy to use with a nice frontend.

  F) CD-grabber & Lossless Audio Converter / Audio-Format Converter (Windows)

  EAC (Exact Audio Copy)
  Very reliable and versatile software for ripping CDs. Multi-reading of FLAC and WAV files, bit rate variably adjustable (note that you should always rip at the original bandwidth/sampling rate). (freeware)

  G) Convenient Tools

  Room Eigenmodes-Calculator
  Even when it’s often neglected: The most important element in your hi-fi setup is the room, which is often a real pain with room modes, reverb, and flutter echoes. The last two are easily taken care of. However, room modes, especially the basses, can be deadly for a well-balanced sound. This calculator lets you easily detect the sneaky villains and allows you to take well-directed measures against them.
