Megahertz™ - HiRes FLAC Player
Nicholas Cayea
Megahertz is an audiophile-grade music player for your local library. No streaming. No subscriptions. No ads. Just your music, played exactly how you want it. Now on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs. BUILT FOR DISCERNING LISTENERS Connect a USB DAC for bit-perfect playback when its sample rate matches the file. Megahertz passes your music through untouched, so you hear exactly what the artist intended, clean from file to output whether you are on reference headphones or a hi-fi setup. PARAMETRIC EQ Go beyond presets with a full parametric equalizer: adjust frequency, gain, and Q for each band. Save custom profiles for different headphones or rooms, and import AutoEQ profiles from the community catalog via URL. YOUR LIBRARY, ENHANCED Megahertz reads metadata and artwork straight from your files, then fills the gaps with artwork from iTunes and MusicBrainz, synced lyrics via LRCLIB, and genre suggestions from Discogs and MusicBrainz. Browse by Songs, Albums, Artists, Genres, or Composers, and build smart playlists. PRIVACY-FIRST No accounts. No tracking. No data collection. Your music stays on your device. Megahertz is a one-time purchase. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no data harvesting. Just a music player that respects you and your privacy.
