What does bit-perfect actually mean?

It means the audio data sent to your DAC is mathematically identical to the source file — zero resampling, zero dithering, zero mixing. The Android audio stack is completely bypassed.

Do I need a USB DAC to use Ryft Audio?

No. Ryft works great with your phone's built-in output too. The Standard Player mode processes audio through the system mixer with full DSP. USB mode is for audiophiles who want the absolute purest signal.

Which USB DACs are supported?

Any USB Audio Class 2 (UAC2) compliant device. That includes most popular USB DACs and DAC/amps: FiiO BTR7/KA5, iFi GO bar/xDSD, Topping DX3 Pro+/E50, Shanling UA5, Moondrop Dawn, Qudelix 5K, xDuoo Link2 Bal, Hidizs S9 Pro, and hundreds more.

How is the EQ different from other apps?

Ryft uses a true 10-band parametric EQ with double-precision biquad filters — the same math as pro studio plugins. Each band gives you frequency, gain, and Q control. Most other apps only offer graphic EQ sliders.

What are headphone correction profiles?

They're frequency response adjustments measured for 6,000+ specific headphone models, powered by AutoEq with data from oratory1990, crinacle, and Rtings. Applying a profile flattens your headphones to a Harman target curve — so you hear what the artist intended. Supports Sennheiser HD600/HD650, Sony WH-1000XM5, AirPods Max, Hifiman Sundara, and thousands more.

Ryft offers a free tier with full playback and basic EQ. Premium features like USB Hi-Res mode, all DSP presets, and headphone correction profiles are available via a one-time purchase — no subscriptions.
