Recommended Media Players for our MKV files

Last updated on Feb 08, 2026

Not all media players can "read" the audio sources on our MKV files correctly. For a seamless experience, we recommend:

  • Best for Hi-Res Stereo and Hi-Res 5.1 Surround playback: VLC Media Player. Available for Windows, Mac, and Mobile. It handles high-res FLAC and 4K H265 video effortlessly.

  • The Apple Choice: Infuse Pro. Highly optimised and offers smooth 4K H265 playback with support for Dolby Atmos E-AC3 with Airpods Pro/Max on iOS/iPadOS/macOS/tvOS. Please note, an Infuse Pro subscription is required to enable Dolby Atmos playback.

  • The Audiophile Choice: Plex, MPC-HC or Kodi, combined with a connected AV receiver is essential for decoding the bitstream signal and playing Dolby TrueHD Atmos. Remember to enable HDMI audio bitstream passthrough in the settings of your player app.

  • The Library Choice: Plex, Kodi or Infuse Pro. Best if you want to organise your Headphone Dust collection into a "Netflix-style" digital gallery (we really recommend doing this, it's awesome!).
