bitwerk Player
Plug in a drive, a USB stick or a network share and it plays: library and player in one box, run from your phone or its touch display.
bit-perfect in every room.
bitwerk builds music systems for places where sound matters. Software that plays your library unaltered on every DAC, a focused range of devices for the home, for venues and for studios, and cables made to your specification.
- 384 kHz / 32-bit Hi-res PCM to the DAC, unaltered

- Rooms in sync Every zone its own queue, or all together
- On your network No cloud account, no subscription
Software at the heart of every system
Section titled “Software at the heart of every system”
Every bitwerk device runs the same software, and the software runs today on standard hardware. It keeps your music library on your own drives, plays it bit-perfect in every room and shows exactly what reaches each DAC: Bit-Perfect when the samples are the ones in the file, DSP when anything is processed, with the reason. Everyone in the building runs it from a phone, a touch display or a Stream Deck. The bitwerk software →
Choose your system
Section titled “Choose your system”We keep the range small on purpose: a few devices for each kind of place, built on one system, so every device works with every other.

How to read the status: Prototype running works every day on test hardware and moves into its own housing next. Work in progress is being built. Concept is planned: the drawing shows the idea, not the final product. Made to order you can order today. Devices in development can be reserved without obligation.
For the home
Section titled “For the home”A system for one home that starts with one box and needs no server.
Custom cables
Analog, digital, speaker and network cables in the length, colour and connectors you choose, bundled and labelled the way your rack needs them.
For venues, bars and large libraries
Section titled “For venues, bars and large libraries”For bars, cafés, clubs, shops, listening rooms and large collections, and for homes that want the full system. Start with a Base and one Streamer; each further Streamer is sold on its own and adds a room or a zone whenever you need it.
bitwerk Base
The heart of the system: one quiet rack unit that holds your music library on your own drives in hot-swap bays and runs every room, player and display.
bitwerk Streamer
A reference network streamer per room: bit-perfect, native DSD, balanced XLR and RCA outputs.
bitwerk Remote
A battery-powered 7” touch display with a big knob: playlists, search and cue lists for the bar or the event desk.
Custom cables
Looms for the rack, speaker cables per zone and labelled ends, so every cable says where it goes.
For studio and stage
Section titled “For studio and stage”For control rooms, producers’ desks, clubs and live sound, on AES67, the open standard for audio over a network.
bitwerk Speakers
Active speakers for studios, clubs and events: an 18” folded bass horn and two tops that also work on their own, built to stand outdoors.
bitwerk Studio
The studio audio interface: preamps you set remotely, reference converters, analog monitor level and the bitwerk player in one rack unit.
bitwerk Control
The desk console for producers and control rooms: mute and level per channel, speaker selection, routing and a big monitor knob with Mute and Dim.
bitwerk Endpoint
A headphone and line station per musician or listening position, powered over the network cable.
bitwerk Cat-Snake
Four analog lines over one Cat cable, passive and without latency.
Custom cables
Multicores, Cat cables for the snake and looms for the desk, colour-coded by channel.
Cable builder
Cables made for your system
Choose the cable type, the length, the jacket colour and both connectors, down to extra-flat plugs for tight racks. Bundle several cables into one sleeve and give every end a colour-coded label with your own text. We build each set to order.
What every system includes
Section titled “What every system includes”Bit-perfect, and it shows
Files reach the DAC byte for byte at their own rate. A badge in every room says when the sound is unaltered and when it is processed, and why.
Hi-res and DSD
FLAC, ALAC, WAV and AIFF up to 384 kHz and 32 bit, DSD up to DSD512, internet radio in lossless FLAC and Spotify when you want it.
Multi-room
Every room its own queue, or several rooms in sync to a fraction of a millisecond. Every change shows at once on every phone, display and controller.
Touch display
A display on the player boots straight to Now playing: cover, format, rooms, search and lyrics, or a far view for across the room.
Studio tools
Monitor controller, A/B with loudness matching, room correction, Stream Deck and OSC faders, webhooks and MQTT.
A library that sorts itself
Drop files in a folder: bitwerk reads the tags, sorts them, finds cover art, measures loudness and flags fake hi-res. USB drives play in place.
