Two weeks, three new music visualizers, and one absurdly satisfying landscape. Here's what changed in Sonogram — generative audio art for your eyeballs.
An iOS app can't tell whether your Lightning or USB-C output is a $9 dongle or a $250 Audeze Cipher cable. Why Apple's audio API is opaque, and how 1-bit handles the gap honestly.
An iOS music player for people who care how their music sounds — bit-exact PCM and DSD over DoP, straight from your NAS to your DAC. Now on the App Store.
A photorealistic turntable, a snowy Alps landscape, a brand-new About page, ~130 commits — and a deep rewrite for frame-rate independence in Sonogram.
