Description
Fibich puts your own music library—not a streaming catalog—at the center. It is a native macOS player with automatic sample-rate matching, broad support for lossless and specialist formats including DSD, CUE sheets and tracker modules, persistent multi-tab playlists, detailed metadata and artwork editing, and native media-key and Now Playing integration. It works offline, requires no account, includes no ads or tracking, and is sold as a one-time purchase.

Could you build this?
No Building an audiophile-grade native macOS player supporting DSD bitstreaming, automatic DAC sample-rate switching, tracker modules, and CUE parsing requires deep low-level audio engineering and CoreAudio expertise.
What it would actually take: A production version requires native Swift/Objective-C++ integrating deeply with CoreAudio (Audio Units, AudioGraph, exclusive HAL device management for bit-perfect sample rate switching). It needs custom C/C++ demuxing and decoding engines (e.g., libavcodec, libopenmpt for tracker modules, dsf/dff decoders for DSD DoP playback) alongside robust ID3/FLAC/Vorbis metadata parsing. Vibe coding cannot navigate the real-time audio thread constraints, hardware DAC clock management, and manual buffer handling necessary to avoid audio dropouts.
