Atmos comes out as Atmos

  • Dolby TrueHD (Atmos)
  • DTS‑HD Master Audio
  • No transcode stage
  • Direct m4a export
Dolby Atmos

Dolby TrueHD comes off the disc bit for bit, object‑based metadata preserved exactly as authored, because nothing in the pipeline transcodes it.

It is also the only macOS app that direct‑exports Atmos and DTS‑HD MA to an m4a container, for tagging and for Atmos playback in Kodi and supported devices.

In and out

Six formats in.
Six lossless containers out.

Bit-for-bit copies of the original audio streams. There is no transcode stage in the pipeline, so nothing is lost.

Input

  • Blu-rayDisc, BDMV folder, ISO.
  • DVD-AudioDisc, AUDIO_TS, ISO.
  • SACD / DSFDisc over network, or ISO.
  • VIDEO_TSDVD-Video. Disc, folder or ISO.

Output

  • FLAC24-bit. 96 kHz multichannel, 192 kHz stereo.
  • ALACApple Lossless, native.
  • MKATrueHD Atmos and DTS-HD MA intact.
  • M4AThe only Mac app that puts Atmos here.
  • PCM / DSF / DFFRaw WAV, and DSD stays DSD.
  • Direct Stream CopyThe codec, untouched.

Dolby TrueHD (Atmos), MLP, DTS-HD Master Audio, DSD and LPCM come off the disc lossless. AC3 and DTS are the disc’s own lossy tracks and are copied, never re-encoded. Object-based metadata preserved exactly as authored.

Curated Blu‑ray and DVD‑Audio tagging. The two formats nothing else tags well.

Playback Preview

Video and audio preview of all High Resolutions formats

Audition Dolby TrueHD ATMOS, DTS‑HD MA, DSD, and PCM high resolution formats with audio and video before extracting to see which one you want.

Disc Backup

Never worry about scratches or rot again. Backup your SACD, Blu‑ray Audio or DVD‑Audio discs to Mac, PC, or Linux machines with verification.

Barcode Scanning

Tag a disc with your mobile device

Albums identified, use your iOS or Android device wirelessly to scan and tag your disc instantly by barcode

True Peak

As loud as it goes.
Not a decibel more.

SACD stores audio 6 dB below the PCM reference, so a straight conversion plays quiet next to your CDs. Most tools just add a flat 6 dB back and hope. True Peak measures every track first, then lifts the whole album until its loudest instant touches the ceiling.

Album gain +5.89 dB · set by “Deacon Blues” · peak −5.99 dBTP

The gain is measured, not guessed. The loudest transient stops just short of clipping, and everything else keeps its headroom, so the record still sounds like the record.
