Fidelia is a skeuomorphic, bit-perfect audiophile music player for the Mac — it hosts Audio Units for EQ and effects, does headphone virtualization, and gives you precise control over the playback path that streaming apps hide entirely. A 2011-era favorite among audiophiles, it has been rewritten from the ground up under new ownership and shipped fresh this month.
