New player OVVOZ.com

[Thehifimatch]

Hi everyone I’m sharing a project I’m working on: OVVOZ.com, a Hi-Fi music player. It works in two parts: the *Core* installs on a Windows PC and plays files through your DAC, while the *Android app* acts as a remote control to select music from your phone (there is no iPhone app yet). What makes it different: • *Bit-perfect*: audio reaches your DAC unaltered via exclusive WASAPI output, and you can verify this at every stage of the signal path. • *DSD via DoP* and high-resolution PCM support. It plays FLAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, DSF, DFF, and CUE sheets. • *Seamless playback*: pausing, seeking, or skipping tracks causes no clicking sounds, and every session generates a report detailing any dropouts, when they occurred, and what was happening on the PC at that time. • *Measurement*: dynamic range (DR), loudness, and true peak for each track and album, as well as real-time playback metrics. For now, it supports local files only—no streaming services yet. I’m launching a *free trial version* and looking for people with a USB DAC to test it on their systems and share their feedback. If you're interested, sign up at https://ovvoz.com, and I’ll let you know when it’s ready. I use the email address solely for this purpose. Feel free to ask questions here or via private message. Thanks!

Thank you for the space, and I hope this proves to be a valuable contribution to the community over time.

Hola a todos Les comparto un proyecto en el que estoy trabajando, OVVOZ.com, un reproductor de música Hifi.

Funciona en dos partes: el *Core* se instala en una PC con Windows y preproduce los archivos por tu DAC, y la *app de Android* es el mando para elegir la música desde el teléfono (por ahora no hay aplicación para iPhone).

Lo que lo hace distinto:
• *Bit-perfect*: el audio llega a tu DAC sin cambios, por salida WASAPI exclusiva, y lo puedes comprobar etapa por etapa en la ruta de la señal.
• *DSD por DoP* y PCM de alta resolución. Lee FLAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, DSF, DFF y hojas CUE.
• *Continuo*: pausar, buscar o saltar de pista no hace clics, y cada sesión trae un informe: si hubo cortes, cuándo, y qué estaba pasando en el PC en ese momento.
• *Medición*: rango dinámico (DR), sonoridad y pico real de cada pista y de cada álbum, y lo que pasa en la reproducción en tiempo real.

Por ahora es solo para archivos locales: todavía sin servicios de streaming.

Estoy abriendo una *versión de prueba gratuita* y busco interesado con DAC USB que la use en su equipo y me cuente cómo le va. Si te interesa, regístrate en https://ovvoz.com y te escribe cuando este listo. El correo lo uso solo para eso.

Cualquier duda, por aquí o por interno. ¡Gracias!

Hi. I'm the developer of Ovvoz,

**What it is**

Ovvoz is a Roon-style player. A Core runs on a Windows PC and plays audio through the USB DAC connected to it, and an Android app works as the remote control.

**The goal**

A clean, lightweight app that does three things really well: plays your music untouched, shows you detailed information about what you're listening to, and tells you exactly what's happening with the stream on your network. No clutter, no hassle.

**What I think it does well**

- **Bit-perfect output by design.** No hidden resampling, volume processing or mixing unless you explicitly enable DSP. I'd appreciate anyone verifying this with a loopback test or a DAC that reports the incoming signal.
- **Transparent stream status.** Ovvoz shows the real state of the stream: format, sample rate, bit depth and network stream health, so you always know what's actually reaching your DAC.
- **Album and artist info.** Every album and artist comes with background information, so you can learn about the music while you listen.
- **Dynamic range analysis.** Ovvoz analyzes the dynamic range of each track, so you can compare masterings and spot heavily compressed releases before blaming your gear.
- **Optional, transparent DSP.** When you use it, the signal chain is displayed so you know exactly what's being done to the audio.
- **Simple setup.** Install the Core, pick your DAC and pair your phone. No server configuration or plugins needed.
- **Streaming.** Tidal and Qobuz integration is in progress.

**What it is not**

It won't make your DAC sound warmer or fix anything that measurements show is already working correctly. The goal is a clean, practical and verifiable path from file or stream to DAC.

**Beta**

The beta is already being sent out to testers. If you'd like to try it, reply here or send me a PM.

Criticism, feature requests and, above all, measurements are welcome.
