Description

1-bit brings audiophile-grade playback to iPhone — whether your music lives on a NAS over SMB, on your home computer via the free 1-bit bridge companion, or as files you've dropped into the app on your device. Browse any source, build a proper library from your files, and play them back bit-exact — DSD straight through to your USB DAC with DoP, PCM at its native rate with no resampling. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most iOS players silently convert everything to 48 kHz PCM. This one doesn't. DSF files are packed into DoP frames and sent untouched to a compatible USB DAC — Chord Hugo 2, iFi, Topping, and others that report DoP lock will receive the original bits. PCM is routed directly through CoreAudio at the file's sample rate, with no hidden mixer in the path. AUDIO • Bit-exact DSD (DSF) playback via DoP — DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 • Bit-exact PCM — FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAC at native rate • Gapless playback when consecutive tracks share format • Optional Bauer crossfeed for headphones and Bluetooth — automatically bypassed on USB DACs and DSD so the bit-exact path stays intact • Hardware sample-rate negotiation with verified lock • Full pre-cache of DSF files before playback starts, for rock-solid DoP alignment • Optional hybrid pre-cache for large DSD files when you want faster starts • Render-thread stall detection — a clear error instead of a dropped DAC lock if the stream underruns LIBRARY • Three ways in: connect to any SMB2 share by hostname or Bonjour discovery, pair with the 1-bit bridge — a free open-source companion server for your Mac, Linux, or Raspberry Pi — or enable the on-device library and drop files in via the Files app • Bridge pairing by QR scan or bridge:// deep link; HTTPS with TLS-fingerprint pinning captured at pairing; works on the LAN or remotely (e.g. over Tailscale) with automatic failover between endpoints • Two-phase scan: folder walk first, then metadata enrichment (ID3v2 for DSF, AVFoundation for the rest) • Organized by album, artist, and playlist, with artist avatars • Per-folder mtime tracking, so rescans only touch what changed • Add files on your server, rescan, keep playing • Playlists with drag-to-reorder • Album artwork up to ~600 px; optional artist image lookup via Deezer public search PLAYBACK EXPERIENCE • Now Playing on Lock Screen and Control Center • Remote commands (play/pause, skip, seek) from AirPods, CarPlay, and Apple Watch • Background audio that survives screen-off and app-switch • Clean scrubber with stable time display • iOS 26 Liquid Glass tab bar where available • Tap to rescan when a moved or renamed track surfaces a missing-file error • Recovers cleanly across lock-screen suspends, route changes (USB DAC unplug/replug, Bluetooth handoff), and iOS engine resets PRIVACY & SECURITY • SMB credentials and bridge tokens stored in the iOS Keychain — never synced, never leaves the device • Bridge connections are pinned to a TLS fingerprint captured at pairing — a swapped certificate is rejec
