It's called "Audirvana"

quote:

* Native playing of FLAC, libSndFile (WAV, AIFF, ...), ALAC and other quicktime formats (AAC, MP3, ...) * Direct sound path, directly to the CoreAudio HAL for pure bit perfect sound * Audio Device exclusive access mode * HAL I/O using DAC native physical formats "Integer Mode" (instead of CoreAudio 32bit float) * Automatic sample rate switching * Up/Oversampling capability * Plays completely from memory ** Tracks are loaded, decoded and sample rate converted in a memory buffer before being played ** Minimizing CPU and hard drive activity to lessen sources of interference * Gapless playback by using a double buffering mechanism (playing track and next track) * Transparent split load for loading tracks of any size * Background tracks loading/decoding (including sample rate conversion) * Playlist (m3u & m3u8 formats) load/save * Handles Apple IR Remote * Automated updates downloading (using Sparkle)
