Enjoy audiophile fidelity from your iPhone.

Nearly a decade of AudioGate innovation has led KORG to create the finest high -resolution music player: iAudioGate.
KORG was among the first to embrace the potential of high-resolution DSD audio for recording, for archiving, and for pure listening enjoyment. From rack-style studio recorders to portable solutions and hand-held devices—as well as USB DAC and player/converter software—KORG has led the charge to create a generation of DSD hardware and software products to satisfy audio lovers everywhere. Launched in 2006, the AudioGate PC music player quickly became a blockbuster success. AudioGate combined versatility and fidelity with a user-friendly interface, taking the power of DSD out of the hands of the audio elite and making it available to a diverse world of enthusiastic listeners. Today, AudioGate commands an overwhelming share of the DSD player market.

KORG, awarded Best of App 2014 (Japan) by Apple, is proud to announce that iAudioGate, the groundbreaking high-resolution music player, is now available for iPhone. iAudioGate has been fully loaded with the AudioGate player engine and customized to perform as an iPhone app. Aside from the immaculate sound quality, the iAudioGate application incorporates the best features of an iPhone app, such as a stylish interface and a simple-to-use graphic equalizer.

Create, capture, and experience the supremacy of sound made possible by KORG. For KORG, the ultimate achievement is the faithful reproduction of sound as it was intended by musicians and engineers—and for the delight of the listeners who savor it. Experience the ultimate sound that until now was unavailable from a mobile system.

Bring out the potential of high-resolution audio sources

High-resolution audio sources have higher sound quality than a CD and greater detail, delivering sound that’s close to the original. Conventional music players do not support high-resolution audio source formats, or down-convert the data to CD quality for playback. iAudioGate supports a wide range of formats in order to play back high-resolution audio sources at their full quality. Even when performing conversion, the optimal type of processing is performed for each specific file format to deliver the highest quality of sound. In addition, a wide range of sampling rates up to 11.2 MHz DSD is supported, allowing direct playback without conversion processing, and even up-sampling, optimally controlling for all sound sources.

Reveal the Potential of High-Resolution Audio Sources

High-resolution audio sources possess a higher level of sound quality than that of a CD. In addition, they contain greater detail and are far better at preserving the ambience of the original recording environment. The benefit is a listening experience that is incredibly faithful to the original. Conventional music players do not support high-resolution audio source formats—or they simply down-convert the data to CD quality for playback. 

iAudioGate supports a wide range of formats in order to play high-resolution audio sources with the greatest degree of accuracy and the highest fidelity possible. During conversion, the optimal type of processing is performed for each specific file format to achieve the finest quality of sound. A wide range of sampling rates—up to 11.2 MHz DSD—is supported, allowing direct playback free from conversion processing. Effective up-sampling operations yield enhanced audio performance from all sound sources.

Diverse Format Dexterity

Audio files exist in a variety of formats. iAudioGate supports a vast array of audio formats such as MP3, AAC, and 44.1/48 kHz WAV; high-resolution audio sources such as 96/192 kHz WAV and FLAC; as well as 11.2 MHz DSD. iAudioGate remains in complete control of entire conversion process, so it can flawlessly playback songs that differ not only in their bit depth or sampling rate, but it can also handle playback chores that contain a mix of different file formats.
