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.

Since version 5, the app now includes 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. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download, while also being backward compatible.

The MQA decoder will unfold the MQA stream from 44.1/48kHz to 88.2/96 kHz and can also be combined with USB DACs that feature a MQA renderer (e.g. AudioQuest DragonFly / iFi) for further unfolding to even higher sample rates.
Please visit http://mqa.co.uk for more information about MQA and https://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/mqa to read more about MQA inside the app.

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

• 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

This is definitely my favorite music player ever. It has only improved vastly over the years, and shows no sign of stopping. I use it with Tidal, since my phone doesn't have much storage for offline flacs.. Sounds great with my hd650s! If I had to nit pick.. I've found that contacting the developer or going to the online forums is the best way to get/give help and suggestions. Definitely worth the money to me!

Somehow, something about this app causes my USB connection to be extremely sensitive to movement and any slight touch or movement will cause the android "let this app handle DAC" message to pop up and stop playback. I've been replacing USB cords and thinking my port is busted, but I've been able to toggle some setting (that I haven't memorized yet) to make this stop for a whole session until I unplug and plug back in. For an $8 app, this is extremely unfortunate. Edit: I'm over it.

Sound quality is top-notch! All I can ask and I'm not sure it could be done is for vertical artwork to be supported more. Even if they could be fitted better on the sides to fit that would be great. The color matching is basically perfect and I'm happy I bought this player!

What's new

* Solved issue for the HiRes Direct mode on Android 15.
* Improved error message when trying to play a track from TIDAL without an active subscription.
* Solved an issue with using FTP port numbers.
