To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any claim, damages or other liability arising from the use of the software or from hardware used with it.

## Audio equipment and hearing

RSPlayer controls audio output, volume and signal processing. Incorrect settings or hardware can damage equipment or hearing. Please:

- Start with a low volume, especially with a new DAC, amplifier, speakers or headphones.
- Be careful with DSP gain, equalizer boosts, loudness and volume normalization settings, which can cause clipping and very high output levels.
- Lower the volume before switching outputs, changing sample rates or formats, or starting playback after a configuration change.
- Follow the manufacturer's documentation for your DAC, amplifier and speakers, and do not exceed their ratings.

## DIY hardware

If you build or connect your own hardware (Raspberry Pi, DAC/amplifier HATs, IR receivers, displays, GPIO wiring, power supplies), you do so at your own risk. Check wiring and voltages, and make sure the hardware is safe to use, before powering it on.

## Your data and files

Back up your music library and configuration. The developer is not responsible for lost or corrupted files, including on network shares or removable drives mounted for use with RSPlayer.
