Hardware soul

Hardware soul, not chrome.

Deck skins built like real hi-fi objects — a turntable with a weighted tonearm, a 45 RPM jukebox with backlit buttons — not flat rectangles pretending to be one. The Eviland visualizer engine turns your music into full-screen scenes driven by spectral-flux onset detection, and can pop out into its own detached projector window. Resonance goes further still: the whole UI — chrome, glow, transport — breathes with the track, throttling itself on weaker hardware so it never costs you a frame you actually need.

Audiophile honesty

Audiophile honesty, not audiophile vibes.

NewAmp ships a native WASAPI-exclusive bit-perfect output path on Windows — a first-party route around Chromium's audio stack, not a marketing claim. The signal path stays honest by default: format, bitrate, and sample rate are shown plainly, DSP is structurally disabled the moment it would touch the bits, and nothing gets resampled without saying so out loud.

Local-first scale

Built for the library you actually have.

60,000+ real tracks, scanned incrementally in about 5.4 seconds. Virtualized grids and instant album-open mean a library that size never feels like a web app pretending to be fast. No account, no cloud sync, no telemetry — the whole thing runs on your machine, for your files.

New in v2.1

Auto-Pilot

The visualizer now measures its own frame cost, live, and adapts quality to whatever it's running on — full detail on a gaming rig, still smooth on a decade-old laptop, with no settings screen to dig through.
