ThermVoltSilicon vs Decaud

ThermVoltSilicon is a precise digital recreation of classic silicon diode-based overdrive circuits. It delivers the tighter, brighter, and more articulate character typical of silicon clipping stages, while faithfully modeling analog imperfections such as power supply sag, battery voltage variation, and temperature-dependent diode behavior. Built with the MIT-licensed Patina DSP engine, this AUv3 plugin combines circuit-accurate modeling with modern features for both vintage tone enthusiasts and contemporary producers. FEATURES • Silicon diode clipping with realistic forward voltage and temperature response • Authentic power supply sag and voltage variation (9V / 18V modeling) • Temperature control (15–75°C) affecting diode behavior • Inst / Line input modes with appropriate impedance and gain staging • Switchable Boost stage (+20dB) • Variable high-pass filter • Classic analog-style tone control • 2x / 4x high-quality oversampling • Very low CPU usage, optimized for iOS • AUv3 support with smooth parameter automation SUITABLE FOR • Electric guitar (tight crunch to singing lead) • Bass guitar • Synthesizers & drum machines • Keyboards • Vocals & parallel saturation • Lo-fi, indie, rock, and modern production COMPATIBILITY • AUv3 Plugin • iPhone & iPad (iOS 15+) • AUv3 hosts.

Decaud is free to use, with every feature included. No subscriptions, paid upgrades or locked features. In-app purchases are optional tips to support development; they do not unlock anything. Most players display the label on the file. Decaud looks deeper. TrueHz reads sampled windows across a track for spectral evidence consistent with lossy compression. It is evidence, not provenance. Decaud is a music player for people who care how their files actually reach their ears: hi-res lossless, DSD, and a signal path you can inspect at any moment. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE HEARING • TrueHz reads sampled windows for spectral evidence consistent with lossy compression, on songs whose audio is on this device • Analyzed songs keep their result on the row • Real-time analyzer, goniometer, phase, and LUFS meters BUILT FOR SOUND • An honest signal path: every stage between the file and the output, and what each one does to the audio • FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, DSF, DFF, APE, WavPack, and more • DSD plays through high-quality PCM conversion, shown in Audio Path. On iPhone and iPad, optional native DSD over USB requires a verified DoP-compatible DAC and device volume at 100%; control listening volume on the DAC • Gapless playback, optional crossfade, and headphone crossfeed • ReplayGain and a 10-band equalizer MORE WAYS TO LISTEN • Internet radio from Radio Paradise, SomaFM, FIP, and your own stations, with live titles and covers • Station creates an endless session from your own library, chosen locally by sound • Classical browsing understands works, movements, and composers • The waveform is the seek bar • Tap the sound information in Now Playing to open Audio Path ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE • Stream from NAS and SMB shares and DLNA servers • Play to AirPlay speakers through the system AirPlay picker • Control your Mac library from your iPhone over the local network • iCloud keeps your catalog, ratings, and artwork on your devices in your own account. Sending audio is always a separate, explicit action A LIBRARY THAT STAYS YOURS • Copy songs and folders from USB and SD drives to this iPhone or iPad for offline listening, even with the drive disconnected • Or play files from an attached drive without copying them • Download seven complimentary DSD64 tracks courtesy of NativeDSD, listen offline, and optionally upload them to iCloud • Sort As fields change ordering without renaming your music and sync across devices • Browse the playable library in CarPlay • Smart playlists, synced lyrics, and compilations • Your listening history stays private, with optional export to a server you host PRIVATE BY DESIGN No Decaud account required. No analytics. No tracking. Online metadata lookups are opt-in and send text or audio fingerprints only, never your audio.
