Three pillars
Built to put you closer to the master.
There's no social feed or algorithmic radio in Kord. It plays the music you already own, and every feature has to earn its place by getting you closer to the recording.
Lossless, the literal sense
Kord decodes FLAC bit-for-bit and hands the samples to your DAC exactly as they were mastered. No sample-rate conversion, no system mixer in the path, no secret normalization.
- Bit-perfect output — no resampling
- Automatic sample-rate switching to match the file
- Direct USB-C DAC output on iPhone, exclusive hardware access on Mac
Parametric EQ, per band
Shape the sound with real control: choose center frequency, gain, and Q for each band. Correct a bright headphone, tame a room mode, or build a curve and save it.
- Frequency · gain · Q on every band
- Saveable presets per device
- Bypass to A/B instantly
A library that organizes itself
Point Kord at your music folder and it reads the tags, groups albums and artists, finds artwork, and keeps everything tidy. By the time you press play, the filing is already done.
- Automatic album & artist grouping
- Artwork fetched and embedded
- Browse by artist, album, or decade
