## What is Fidelia?

Fidelia is the audiophile music player Mac listeners have trusted for over a decade — now on iPhone.

Bring your own collection — FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, DSD, MP3, and more — and hear it the way it was mastered. No subscription, no account, no one else's cloud.

YOUR LIBRARY, LEFT IN PLACE
Point Fidelia at a folder and play. Your files are referenced where they live — never copied, never re-tagged, never uploaded. Fast browse and search by song, artist, and album, built to stay quick in six-figure libraries. What's on the phone plays with no signal at all.

BUILT FOR YOUR DAC
Connect a USB DAC and Fidelia follows the music. Each track's own sample rate is requested from the device — verified on an RME ADI-2 by bit-pattern test, and visible on a Fosi DS2 switching 44.1 to 192. Bit-Perfect mode bypasses every processing stage for a unity-gain path from file to DAC, and the readout tells you exactly what your DAC is receiving. Where iOS grants a different rate than the file asks for, Fidelia's own reference resampler closes the gap — the same engine that runs on the Mac — rather than leaving it to the system. (Keep the system volume at maximum for a transparent path.)

YOUR SERVER, AND YOUR STREAMER
Fidelia speaks Lyrion (Logitech Media Server) and UPnP: your server's library sits in the app beside the files on your phone — one search, one player. Browsing your server is always free.

It plays TO your system, too. Any UPnP/DLNA renderer on the network becomes an output, chosen from the same picker as your USB DAC. Bit-perfect sends the original bytes, gapless. Leave it off and the whole chain runs first — HeadSpace, the resampler, your Audio Unit slots — then streams the result. Internet radio goes to the streamer too.

Keep Offline works on server tracks too: mark an album and it lives on the phone, playable with the server asleep or nowhere in range.

Network playback is a separate one-time unlock.

YOUR MAC'S LIBRARY, OVER WI-FI
Already run Fidelia on a Mac? Fidelia Bridge copies your albums, playlists, radio stations, presets and settings straight across your own network — nothing to find, nothing to import, nothing in a cloud. Keep chosen albums on the phone for listening without the Mac awake.

SOUND SHAPING, ONLY IF YOU WANT IT
• Audio Unit (AUv3) effect hosting — plug-ins open their own interfaces, and rotate with the phone
• Per-slot bypass and reordering
• ReplayGain track and album normalization
• HeadSpace, Fidelia's headphone crossfeed stage
• Precision volume with Dim and Mute, and levels that read in dB from the route itself

EVERYWHERE YOU LISTEN
• CarPlay, with four presets on the deck
• AirPlay, Bluetooth, and wired output
• Full lock-screen transport and background playback
• Gapless playback, shuffle, and repeat
• Playlists
• Internet radio

FAIR SOFTWARE
Download free and listen for 14 days, the whole player, no limits. If it earns a place on your phone, buy it once and it's yours. Network playback has a 14-day trial of its own, started whenever you're ready — so you can try it the day your streamer arrives, not the day you installed Fidelia. No subscription. No account. No ads.

There's a Mac app too — the same engine, the same processors, its own one-time purchase. Bridge connects the two over your own network.

FORMATS
FLAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless), WAV, AIFF, DSD (DSF/DFF), MP3, AAC, and more. DSD plays via high-quality PCM conversion.

### 5/5 — Just AWESOME!

*2026-09-01*

I got hooked on Fidelia for Mac OS and asked about an iPhone version. And here it is! The apps sound incredible by themselves but I used AUv3 equalizers to tweak a bit. They sound better than my expensive HD music players. All I listen to now. And support is responsive and quick to reply.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0.2 — 2026-08-31

Your server comes with you.

The Network module ships on: Lyrion and UPnP libraries sit in Fidelia beside the files on your phone — one search, one player. Browsing your server is always free.

Fidelia plays to your streamer.

Any UPnP renderer on your network becomes an output, chosen from the same picker as your DAC, and only one box plays. Bit-perfect sends the original bytes; leave it off and HeadSpace, the resampler and your Audio Units run first, then stream the result.

Your plug-ins, with their own faces.

AUv3 effects host their real interfaces now, and they rotate with the phone.

Also in this release: one output picker, primary on Now Playing. Levels that read in dB from the route itself. Delete from Library, which removes the reference and never the file.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-30

Improved support for third-party AU effects, playlist sync from Music, and automatic album artwork search

### 2.0 — 2026-08-21

No release notes.
