HIGH QUALITY MEDIA PLAYER FOR ANDROID
Supporting USB audio DACs to play audio files up to 32-bit resolution at any sample rate! Will play any popular format including wav, flac, wavpack, ape, mp3 and DSD files. This app is a must have for every HiFi enthusiast, bypassing all audio limits of Android. But even without a USB DAC, the app supports many of the HiRes audio chips found in the latest phones, allowing to play at much higher quality than standard music players, even the ones that come with your phone!
BYPASSING THE LIMITS OF ANDROID
When connecting an Android phone or tablet to a USB DAC, USB Audio Player PRO will unleash the full power of the DAC, by using our custom developed USB audio driver. This bypasses the Android audio system completely, meaning that Android's limitations regarding bit resolution and sample rate (16-bit/48kHz) are made irrelevant and high quality audio streams are fed directly to the DAC, making playback up to 32-bit at 384kHz possible (depending on the DAC capabilities) or even DSD.
CONNECTING A USB DAC
You can use any Android device, given that it runs Android 3.1 or higher, has USB host support and support for isochronous USB transfers in the kernel. You connect the Android device to the DAC using a USB OTG cable to trigger USB host mode,
SUPPORT FOR DSD
IF PCM AUDIO IS NOT ENOUGH
When you have a DAC capable of DSD (Direct Stream Digital), you can even play DSD (.dsf/.dff) files natively, providing a 1-bit digital stream (over PCM using the DoP protocol) like the Super Audio CD of past times! This format is now becoming increasingly more popular among audiophiles surpassing the quality of PCM audio streams. USB Audio Player PRO will convert the DSD stream to PCM if your DAC does not support DSD natively.
MQA DECODER
USB Audio Player PRO is the first generic audio player on Android featuring an MQA decoder. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download, while also being backward compatible. The Tidal streaming service supported by USB Audio Player PRO features many tracks in MQA and offers a great opportunity to experience MQA.
HIRES AUDIO DRIVER FOR INTERNAL AUDIO
Many of the recent Android phones come with a HiRes audio chip, capable of playing at 24-bit at high sample rates. The problem is that Android does not support these chips and most media players will have their audio resampled back to 44.1 or 48kHz. With the custom HiRes audio driver inside USB Audio Player PRO, you can utilize these chips to their fullest, with bit-perfect 24-bit audio playback and all sample rates that the chip supports without resampling.
PLAY FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES
With USB Audio Player PRO, you can play from various sources: internal storage, SD cards and USB drives, a Samba network drive, UPnP servers but also several streaming services including Tidal, Qobuz, Google Music and Shoutcast radio.
