About this app

High quality media player supporting USB audio DACs and HiRes audio chips found in the latest phones. Play up to any resolution and sample rate that the DAC supports! All popular and less popular formats are supported (beyond the formats that Android supports), including wav, flac, mp3, m4a, wavpack, SACD ISO, MQA and DSD.

This app is a must-have for every audiophile, bypassing all audio limits of Android. Whether you use our custom developed USB audio driver for USB DACs, our HiRes driver for internal audio chips or the standard Android driver, this app is one of the highest quality media players around.

On many Android 8+ devices, the app can also switch Bluetooth properties of a BT DAC, like the codec (LDAC, aptX, SSC, etc.) and switch the sample rate according to the source (feature dependent on the specific Android device and BT DAC and can possibly fail).

The app features a MQA Core Decoder (in-app purchase required). MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording.

Features:
• Plays wav/flac/ogg/mp3/MQA/DSD/SACD ISO/aiff/aac/m4a/ape/cue/wv/etc. files
• Supports almost all USB audio DACs
• Plays natively up to 32-bit/768kHz or any other rate/resolution your USB DAC supports by completely bypassing the Android audio system. Other Android players are limited to 16-bit/48kHz.
• Utilizes HiRes audio chips found on many phones (LG V series, Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Nokia, DAPs etc.) to play HiRes audio at 24-bit without resampling! Bypasses the Android resampling limits!
• Free MQA decoding and rendering on the LG V30/V35/V40/V50/G7/G8 (not G8X)
• DoP, native DSD and DSD-to-PCM conversion
• Toneboosters MorphIt Mobile: improve the quality of your headphones and simulate over 700 headphone models (in-app purchase required)
• Folder playback
• Play from a UPnP/DLNA file server
• UPnP media renderer and content server
• Network playback (SambaV1/V2, FTP, WebDAV)
• Stream audio from TIDAL (HiRes FLAC and MQA), Qobuz and Shoutcast
• Gapless playback
• Bit perfect playback
• Replay gain
• Synchronized lyrics display
• Sample rate conversion (if your DAC doesn't support the audio file's sample rate, it will be converted to a higher sample rate if available or the highest if not available)
• 10-band equalizer
• Software and hardware volume control (when applicable)
• Upsampling (optional)
• Last.fm scrobbling
• Android Auto
• No root required!

Ratings and reviews

Not gonna lie, setting the app up requires a video tutorial if you wanna do it correctly, but once it's setup, it's the nirvana of music. the integration with Tidal is good, there are some rare issues with the search function but nothing terrible. Really a game changer for HiFi lovers. I would. just hope they consider improving the app look just a bit.

I have no idea why this app has a low rating. The player is almost as smooth as the apps from which it pulls music. The audio quality is noticeably better than Qobuz alone and I was already impressed with Qobuz's audio quality. You have to have good equipment to hear the differences, however. I don't notice it on my headphones, but I very much notice it on my car's system. Well worth the money.

Error login for Qobuz. Tried about 7 times to login, it just says error. I only bought the app for that sole purpose, had to get a refund in the end. I'm giving this a 2 star so that the developers can see this and hopefully resolve it. But also because it looks well designed, but I can't vouch for the user experience in any way as I couldn't use it. My device is OnePlus Open.

What’s new

* Solved an issue where a UAPP playlist was not completely saved when the playlist contained a very large number of tracks.
* Solved an issue with FTP where in some situations files wouldn't get listed.
* Previous version could possibly crash playback with the HiRes Direct driver on devices with an old 32-bit CPU.
