Pure Audio.
Blazing performance.
A Plex-powered music system for Linux
$ curl -sSL https://releases.caldera.homes/music/headless/install.sh | bash Truly gapless
Live albums, DJ sets, and classical movements play the way they were mastered. No click, no silence, no pause between tracks.
SweetFades
A custom crossfade for every pair of tracks, with volume leveling built in. Songs flow into each other at matched loudness, so nothing jumps out or falls away.
On-the-fly analysis
Every song you play is analyzed in the background, faster than realtime. The daemon learns your library as you listen, and remembers what it learned.
Plays everything
FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC, Ogg, Opus, WAV, AIFF, all the way up to 24-bit / 384 kHz studio masters. Streamed bit-perfect to your DAC.
Smart caching
Tracks prefetch before playing, and replays never touch the network. Even tricky file formats start playing instantly.
Plex-native remote
Control playback from Plexamp, Plex iOS, or the Plex web app. The daemon shows up just like any other Plex player on your network.
Multi-room sync
Caldera nodes find each other on your Wi-Fi and stay in lock-step. Start a song in the kitchen, walk to the living room, and it's already playing, on beat.
Per-room tuning
A 10-band parametric EQ on every instance so each room's speakers get their own curve. Dial in once, sound great forever.
Self-updating
New versions install themselves in the background, silently, without interrupting what's playing. No SSH, no package manager, no thinking about it.
Lightweight by design
Built as a headless daemon, not a GUI with the display ripped out. Every byte of memory and every CPU cycle earns its keep.
