Could you build this?
No Building a cross-platform bit-perfect, HiFi audio player requires deep low-level audio engineering to bypass OS mixers (WASAPI exclusive mode, CoreAudio, ALSA) and interface with hardware DACs.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires C++ or Rust using native audio backend APIs (WASAPI Exclusive, ASIO on Windows; CoreAudio HAL on macOS; ALSA on Linux) to guarantee bit-exact stream playback without resampling or DSP alterations. In addition, it demands audio codec decoding pipelines (libFLAC, libopus, DSD decoding) and low-latency audio buffer management that cannot be abstracted into standard web-wrapper UI code.
