A wall of albums.A perfect signal path.
PureAlbum turns the music on your NAS into a living library and plays it bit-perfect through HQPlayer, UPnP, or Diretta.

Library
Search that forgives.
Type “morzart” and Mozart still comes forward, albums and tracks alike. A big collection stays browsable instead of becoming database work.
Playback
The signal chain, alive.
HQPlayer runs inside PureAlbum with nothing hidden. Follow the signal path, then watch the meters react in real time — formats, DSD mode, filters, buffers, and clip state all stay close at hand.

Output
Three engines, one room.
Route sound through HQPlayer, UPnP Push, or Diretta MemoryPlay from a single output room, and always see which engine is playing.

PureAlbum is the host side. Whatever sits near your DAC today keeps its place — PureAlbum feeds it.

Mobile
The same control surface, in your hand.
Playback keeps running on the PureAlbum host; your phone just steers it.
Versus Roon
Ownership and local playback, by design.
Roon is broad and cloud-connected. PureAlbum is narrower on purpose: a local archive, UPnP/Diretta output, no recurring rent.

Owner notes
The practical details before it joins your rack.
What arrives after checkout?
An email with your license key and personal download page: the bootable PureAlbum appliance image for x86-64 machines, SHA-256 checksums, and the install guide.
Can I try before buying?
Yes. The image runs as a full-featured 14-day trial without a license. When the trial ends, your library stays intact — playback resumes the moment you activate.
How many devices can I activate? Does it need internet?
One license activates up to 2 devices, with self-service transfer if you change hardware. Once activated, the license lives on the device and keeps working forever — even fully offline. Devices without internet can activate manually on this site.
What does the appliance run on?
Any x86-64 machine that boots from disk: a NUC, a fanless mini PC, or a VM (Proxmox/QEMU). Your music stays on your NAS or local disks.
What formats is it tuned for?
Lossless-first. FLAC and DSD (DSF) libraries are what PureAlbum is built and tested around, delivered bit-perfect over UPnP Push or Diretta.
How much control do I have over the library?
You choose which libraries are active and whether metadata and covers prefer online sources or your local files — nothing is rewritten behind your back.
How long do I get updates?
One year of image updates from purchase. After that, the last image released within your window stays yours forever.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Payment and refunds are handled by our merchant of record (Lemon Squeezy or Creem, per your receipt).
What if I lose the download email?
Use the Recover page — enter your purchase email and we resend your license key, download link, and a link to manage your activated devices.
Give your collection the front end it deserves.
Flash the image tonight, connect the NAS, and start listening.
