By default, iOS does not allow you to copy magnet:// links directly from websites or apps. Magnet Linker is here to solve that limitation. When you tap a magnet link, iOS redirects you to this app, where you can easily copy the link to your clipboard. From there, you can share it or use it with your preferred tools and services—no hassle, no workarounds. Whether you're organizing files or sharing links, Magnet Linker makes managing magnet:// links on your iPhone or iPad fast and simple. Note: Magnet Linker is a utility for copying and sharing magnet links only. It does not download or manage torrent files.

About

DSD Mastering Viewer

Features
Read full description

DSD Mastering Viewer reads a DSD or high-resolution PCM file and works out, from the spectrum alone, what production chain it most likely came from. A file labelled DSD256 may be a genuine high-rate master, or a DSD64 SACD transfer in a larger container carrying an older modulator's noise as content. A 192 kHz download may be a real 192 kHz capture, or a CD upsampled into an empty band. The container never says which. The ultrasonic region does. WHAT IT MEASURES • The wideband spectrum out to 176 kHz, well past the limit of hearing • How the level above the audio band is shaped, and where it starts to rise • Left/right coherence — whether ultrasonic energy is independent between channels, which is what decides whether it can read as width and air • A band table from 15 kHz upward, in dB relative to the music WHAT IT TELLS YOU A plain-language verdict naming the most likely chain, with a confidence qualifier and the evidence behind it — DSD64 heritage, a freshly remodulated PCM or DXD master, a native high-rate capture, an analogue or heavily processed transfer, an upsample from a lower rate, or a lossy-encoded source. A recording-chain grade out of ten scores what the chain delivered: real bandwidth, an honest container, and a clean region above the music. CONVERSION Convert between DSD and PCM in either direction — DSD64 through DSD2048, PCM from 44.1 to 384 kHz in 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit float — with an optional linear-phase filter that removes inherited ultrasonic noise while leaving everything audible untouched. The chart draws the predicted result before you commit to it. HONEST BY DESIGN A file that cannot carry 50 kHz is never reported as having nothing there; it is reported as unobserved. Confidence is capped when there is less evidence to go on. The verdict always hedges, because a spectrum constrains a file's history without proving it. And the grade is explicitly a judgement of the production chain, not of how the record sounds — no spectrum can tell you that. Reads DSF, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC and CAF. Nothing is uploaded; there is no networking code in the app at all. FREE FOR THREE DAYS Everything is open for three days. After that the Viewer and the Converter are separate one-time purchases — no subscription, nothing renews, and either one covers all your Macs, iPhones and iPads.
