Actually, Windows Media Player, VLC, DivX Plus Player, etc and many media player s with certain plugin support DTS. But they do not become the best ones as DTS requires a professional and excellent DTS player to render the most touching multi-surround sound at home just like in the theater. So, here are top 3 DTS players 2019 recommended for you to play DTS.

No. 1 5KPlayer – Free DTS/Dolby Player for Mac/Windows

No need to pay for a ticket, you can now watch movies or TV shows with vivid images and touching sounds at home just like in the theater.

No. 2 MediaPlayerLite – Open-source DTS Player for Windows

MediaPlayerLite is a free and open-source DTS player based on Media Player Classic – Home Theater, which means it has all the features MPC-HC have so that you can not only use it to play DTS files, but also play other audio, video and image formats like WAV, WMV, WMA, JPEG, ASF, MP3, MP4, AVI, FLV, etc. With GPU assisted acceleration and enchancing, this free DTS player comes as a low-CPU occupying media player to smoothly play H.264 and VC-1 with hardly any CPU time required. Besides, it has a batch-conversion functionality for many files to be converted.
However, it is only designed to open DTS files on Windows XP, Vista & 7.

No. 3 VLC – Open-source DTS File Player with Built-in Decoder

VLC is a well-known free media player supporting kinds of video audio formats on various platforms. Along with built-in AC3Filter, VLC comes to be a good DTS player for DTS-WAV playback without a hitch. Just click "Tools" icon on main UI of VLC -> Preference -> choose Audio -> then click "On" in the list of Dolby Sourround -> now you can play DTS file with multi-surround sound effect. Of course, you can check Headphone surround effect to when you are wearing you earphones to listen to DTS music.

For most music connoisseurs, the main stationary sound source has long been Personal Computer. The convenience of using a PC in this role is undeniable. Many lovers high-quality sound They are not content with the built-in sound chip and purchase external DACs. But even the highest quality DAC needs a program that will send it a signal (well, yes, I’m talking about a player), and not all player programs do the job equally well. Today I will talk about perhaps the best software player for OS X - Audirvana Plus.

Actually, the main question that interests almost everyone is - why do you need a player that costs $74, if there are free ones?

First the short answer: he understands maximum amount formats and outputs them to an external DAC with the shortest of possible ways.

Now about this in more detail.

Audirvana Pro understands, perhaps, all existing audio formats: AIFF, WAVE, AAC, MP3, FLAC, Monkey Audio APE, WavPack, Apple Lossless, DSD (DSDIFF including DST, DSF, and SACD ISO). In this case, for supported DACs the signal is output directly to DSD; for the rest, high-quality conversion to PCM will be used. Since DSD is gaining more and more popularity, supporting this format at the DAC interface level is a good step. Audirvana also supports multi-channel music if you have the appropriate equipment.

The next (and perhaps most important) ability of Audirvana is the ability to work with an external DAC, bypassing Core Audio, sound subsystem OS X. The player takes exclusive control of the device, reducing the number of unnecessary conversions. Moreover, if the DAC supports Integer Mode, Audirvana will work in it, eliminating one more unnecessary conversion.

This player also implements the traditional mode for programs of this kind to completely load the track being played into memory, which allows you to avoid even the slightest delay in reading from the disk.

The player is based on proven professional technology for working with audio data from iZotope. The company's solutions are used in a variety of programs, hardware solutions and games. Even such market monsters as Adobe Premiere, Avid Pro Tools and Sony Sound Forge, use the company's developments. Audirvana uses SRC to change the sampling rate with 64-bit precision (any resampling options are flexible) and MBIT+ for software volume control. The latter is especially important, since it is the volume control that often greatly degrades digital sound. In addition to software, Audirvana also supports hardware volume control, if your DAC has such a function.

Another nice feature is support for Audio Unit plugins, with which you can add, for example, an equalizer.


The second version of the program, released recently, pleased us with a new interface with a music manager. Version 1.x, with its stylization as a “real” player, still looked very archaic, in my opinion (although those nostalgic for this option can include it in 2.x).

When you launch it for the first time, Audirvana will ask you which audio device you want to use and whether it is in New or Classic mode. After which you will be prompted to add music folders to the library. The player will automatically scan them and add all supported files to its database. Unfortunately, in new version They removed the ability to add files to the library by direct drag-and-drop from the Finder, but I think it will be returned in the next versions, a lot of people are asking for it.
