Neutron Music Player

Neutron is an advanced music player with audiophile-grade platform-independent 32/64-bit audio engine which is being developed for more than 10 years to provide Hi-Fi experience on any platform!

It outputs hi-res audio directly to the internal DAC (including USB DAC) and offers a rich set of DSP effects for altering audio. Neutron is the only application capable of sending audio data to the network renderers (UPnP/DLNA, Chromecast) with all DSP effects applied, including the gapless playback.

It features unique PCM to DSD real-time oversampling mode (if supported by DAC), so you can play your favorite music in DSD resolution.

Neutron has special user interface with advanced functionality and is designed specifically for audiophiles and those who love music!

NOTE

Windows 10 Mobile has limitation for background networking and thus all network functionality is disabled by default but can be enabled via User Interface -> Optional Features (you must keep UI visible to have network operational in this case). Windows 10 PC has no such limitation and is fully functional!

Windows 10 Mobile limitations:

• background networking not working
• system volume management from Neutron’s UI not working.
