User feedback & press reviews:
“Seemless integration with my plug-in tool box, intuitive functions and a great player for my clients makes the HOFA DDP Player Maker a ‘no brainer’ for my digital delivery needs.”

I use HOFA DDP Player Maker every day. It’s effortless to use for sending off to CD manufacturing plants. But even more valuable is for sending to clients and producers to hear how the record is sequenced and how it flows in an easy and concise way. Clients like easy. And this software is anything but complicated and doesn’t need to be. It does exactly what it sets out to do – to make and play DDP masters. I love it for that and it’s why I use it every day for my clients.

“I really like the DDP player you provided to listen to the masters. The seamless playback and information displayed functions fantastically.”
– Justin Perkins, Mystery Room Mastering, USA
No wishes remain unfulfilled thanks to the flexible options in the DDP Player Maker. The excuse of not being able to listen to a DDP image is now a thing of the past.
Final grade: very good – outstanding | Value for money: very good

My clients are delighted. No software needs to be to installed, so it’s very easy for them to use it.
Exactly what I was looking for at an unbeatable price.
