Truly Free Alternative
v8.4a (x64) 2026-08-06
🚀 Audio Analyzer Update: Significantly reduced waiting times during analysis compared to v7.7 versions - same detection precision.
🎧 v8.4: Native DSD support (.dsf / .dff) and full Hi-Res / Ultra-Hi-Res coverage up to 384 kHz and beyond, including SACD/DSD-to-PCM noise-shaping detection.
📌 Requirements
- Windows 10/11 (32-bit or 64-bit) / v8.x: Windows 10/11 64-bit + .NET 8 Runtime (web download and auto install offered)
- PowerShell 5.1 (already installed on Windows 10/11)
- Internet connection (first run only, for dependencies)
Advanced audio analysis tool designed to detect fake and artificially upscaled audio using signal processing techniques.
Audio Fake Detector PRO is a high-performance audio authenticity checker focused on identifying fake high-quality audio files, including 320 kbps MP3s, lossless formats, Hi-Res/Ultra-Hi-Res PCM, and native DSD (SACD-derived .dsf / .dff).
🔍 Overview
Audio Fake Detector PRO analyses whether an audio file genuinely contains the frequency content its container bitrate implies.
Files are processed using FFmpeg (decoding to standardized PCM) and ffprobe (metadata extraction such as codec, bitrate, and stream info) as a preprocessing step.
It is specifically designed to detect fake high-bitrate lossy files, such as MP3 audio upsampled or re-encoded to appear as 320 kbps, as well as lossy material (MP3) placed inside lossless containers (FLAC, WAV) to simulate higher quality. The same detection extends to Hi-Res and Ultra-Hi-Res PCM (up to 384 kHz and beyond) and to native DSD (.dsf / .dff), recognising the DSD-to-PCM noise-shaping signature so genuine SACD/DSD-derived content is not flagged as fake.
The engine splits each file into multiple non-final segments plus one end segment. Each non-final segment is analysed independently via spectrogram bitmap inspection. A half-or-strict-majority wall vote aggregates the per-segment findings into a single file-level verdict. Lossless files are additionally validated through auCDtect statistical PCM analysis.

- Detailed reporting: LOG - CSV
On selection window, click to cycle: [CSV ( )] → [CSV (,)] → [CSV (;)] → [CSV ( )] - Moves detected files to the ~Fake folder while preserving the original directory structure
🧠 Detection Technology
Audio Fake Detector PRO uses a hybrid analysis engine:
- Spectral Analysis: detects frequency cutoffs, compression artifacts, and artificial bandwidth extension
- Statistical Validation: verifies lossless authenticity using auCDtect scoring
- Segment-Based Voting System: improves accuracy by analyzing multiple independent audio segments
This approach reduces false positives and improves detection reliability across different audio formats, including Hi-Res/Ultra-Hi-Res PCM and native DSD, where a dedicated noise-shaping signature check tells a genuine SACD/DSD-derived source apart from an upsampled fake.
🎯 Use Cases
- Verifying authenticity of downloaded music files
- Detecting fake FLAC / WAV conversions from lossy sources
- Verifying genuine SACD/DSD rips and Hi-Res PCM releases against upsampled fakes
- Audio authenticity analysis for DJs, producers, and collectors
- Library cleaning and archival verification
📦 Supported Formats
Lossy: MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG, OPUS, WMA
Lossless: FLAC, WAV, APE, AIFF, AIF, WV (up to Ultra-Hi-Res, e.g. 352.8/384 kHz and beyond)
Native DSD: DSF, DFF (DSD64/128/256/512 - decimated to DXD 352.8 kHz/24-bit PCM for analysis; requires ffmpeg.exe/ffprobe.exe, always available with v8.x’s bundled or auto-installed FFmpeg)
💡 Why Audio Fake Detector PRO?
Many audio files distributed online are not truly high quality but have been upscaled from lower-bitrate sources.
Audio Fake Detector PRO is designed to help users identify these cases with a modern, multi-layered detection approach.
It can be used as an independent alternative for users familiar with tools such as Fakin’ The Funk.
