Tessera : Hi-Res Music Player

About

Tessera is a hi-res music player built for people who care how their music actually sounds — and for anyone ready to start caring. It plays your files the way they were mastered: no hidden resampling, no system mixing, no "enhancement." When your hardware allows it, audio goes to your DAC bit-perfect — the exact samples in the file, untouched. — NEW TO HI-RES? START HERE — Most players quietly convert your music before it reaches your ears. Tessera doesn't. Add your files, press play, and see exactly what's happening at every step — format, sample rate, and what your device actually receives. You learn as you listen. A good USB DAC makes it better; curiosity is enough to begin. — BUILT FOR REAL HI-RES — DSD playback: DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 — native via DoP to capable USB DACs, or high-quality DSD-to-PCM conversion when you prefer PCM all the way to 32-bit / 768 kHz — FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF at their original sample rate and bit depth Bit-perfect, exclusive output mode that hands the clean signal straight to your DAC Audio Details view: source file, output device, and the full playback chain — resampled or untouched, you always know Real-time spectrum display reaching into the ultrasonic range, with a hi-res zone above 20 kHz — YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE — Play files you already own, or stream from a NAS or DLNA/UPnP media server — fast multicast discovery finds your server in seconds Built for real listening: the next track is fetched ahead while you listen, so server albums keep playing with the screen locked, hour after hour Apple Music, too: browse your tracks, albums, artists, playlists, and genres, and play them straight to your DAC Browse by Folders, Tracks, Artists, Albums, Genres, and Format — with fast on-device search across your whole collection A customizable sidebar — rename, reorder, hide sections to fit how you listen — SEE WHAT YOU'RE HEARING — Clean three-line track rows: title, artist, and the details that matter Format badges tell you exactly what's playing: "DSF DSD256", "FLAC 24/192", a gold Hi-Res badge for true high-resolution files, and Lossless / Hi-Res Lossless / Dolby Atmos for Apple Music Turn each badge on or off — so rows show only what you want — SMART PLAYBACK — True gapless playback for lossless and DSD — live albums and classical works flow the way they should — plus optional crossfade DJ Flow: analyzes the energy, brightness, tempo, and dynamics of your tracks so similar songs play together in a smooth, considered sequence Mood grouping that sorts your library by how it feels Sleep timer, play-count history, and resume-where-you-left-off — DESIGNED WITH CARE — Liquid Glass interface that stays out of the way of the music Choose your accent color, or let each library section carry its own Light, dark, and automatic themes — localized in 10 languages — YOUR MUSIC, YOUR DEVICE — No account, no ads, no tracking — Tessera itself needs no subscription One purchase.
