LACQUER plays your music bit-perfect and proves it while you listen: every 1.5 seconds it finds what it just sent to the output in the file itself, unchanged to the last bit. It's made for people who care which master they're hearing. LACQUER asks your USB DAC for each file's own sample rate, leaves every sample as it is, and measures every track you add, so you know what you really have. YOUR MUSIC • From this iPhone, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, a USB drive or your NAS • From a Navidrome or other Subsonic server • Play on network players such as WiiM, NAD and Bluesound (BluOS); they fetch the original file and play it themselves PLAYBACK • Bit-perfect at each file's sample rate on a USB DAC, with the proof on screen • The status under each song says when it isn't, and why: the iPhone's speaker, Bluetooth or AirPlay • A VU meter and a live spectrum, full screen on the Stage KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE • The Verified seal: the audio matches the checksum stored in the file; gold when the music itself is above CD resolution • Spots "hi-res" files that are really CD resolution, lossless files made from an MP3, and damaged rips • Checks rips against their EAC or XLD log • Flags CDs mastered with pre-emphasis • Collection audits your whole library; Rankings sorts your songs by dynamic range and real resolution LACQUER PRO, A ONE-TIME PURCHASE • The master report: your album's real source, dynamics and spectrum, every track measured • Compare Masters: two versions of a song in sync and equally loud, one tap to switch • De-emphasis with the exact 50/15 µs curve from the CD standard • Share Report: a clean report card of an album's master • The same purchase unlocks Pro in LACQUER for Mac No account, no ads, no tracking. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | LACQUER Pro | $35.00 | one-time | ## Is LACQUER safe?

For score and dynamic range you also see how far each version stands behind the best. Hold a song or album in Rankings to rank that artist only; a button at the top brings everyone back. Search in Rankings: type a song, artist or album to find it in the list. ### 1.3 — 2026-11-11 The player screen has a new layout: title, heart and menu on one row, play, shuffle and queue within reach of your thumb, and a thin line to scrub through the song. The screen opens out of the mini player and closes back into it. New level meters: two rows of segments on the gold line, with the peak held as a bright mark. One switch changes between VU and Spectrum. True hi-res is marked in gold, also when the files carry no checksum for the Verified seal. Tap the mark to see what was measured. Rankings: songs with the same score keep their order every time you open the app. Labels are calmer: plain words instead of spaced capitals. ### 1.2 — 2026-11-08 The queue: songs you add with Play Next or a swipe to the right stand at the top under Queued by you, in the order you picked them; the album, playlist or shuffle you started carries on below. No more Edit step: hold a song's grip to drag it, swipe left to remove it. More of the app is translated. Wired headphones get their own icon in every language. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-11-06 No release notes. ## Related topics [audison bit play hd](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/audison-bit-play-hd) · [audiofile ddp player](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/audiofile-ddp-player) · [lacquer](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/lacquer) · [perfect player](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/perfect-player) · [pureit player](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/pureit-player) · [youtube audio player](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/youtube-audio-player) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
