Sovault is a music player for people who own their music. Streaming services come and go. Your collection doesn't have to. Point Sovault at your files and it plays them — including the formats most players quietly refuse. PLAYS 40+ FORMATS MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Opus — plus APE (Monkey's Audio), DSD (DSF/DFF), WavPack, TAK, TTA, Musepack, Shorten, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, AC-3, DTS, MLP/TrueHD, ATRAC, Speex, and more. That old APE rip, the DSD you bought years ago, the WavPack archive you forgot about — they all just play. FIX GARBLED TAGS Chinese and Japanese tracks ripped years ago often store their tags in GBK, Big5 or Shift-JIS, and show up as "ÍõÐÄÁè" everywhere else. Sovault detects the original encoding and repairs it — permanently, written back into the file.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Audio+MIDI Player at none against Sovault's 3. Audio+MIDI Player also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). Sovault's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
