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 TIDAL streaming service supported by USB Audio Player PRO features many tracks in MQA and offers a great opportunity to experience MQA.

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.

Ratings and reviews

Even after help from them, which I gave a star back for, the album art doesn't always display even if the pic is in the right folder. Sometimes it just doesn't show up. It won't be there on a shuffled song but if I go and pick the song manually it shows up. This app is still superior for sound if that's what you're looking for. But, for functionality and looks Poweramp is better. If the UI had more options to change color, font, etc and they make the AA part better this would be 5 stars all day.

I am trying to stream Qobuz with a Pixel 6a into a dongle. When this app works it sounds fantastic, and when it's working it is exactly what I've been dreaming of. Over half the time, this app won't even search for music. Playback is even less stable. Stutters and glitches, error messages, mutes, pause, you name it and it's here. I am a moderately capable audio hobbyist, which is to say I understand the settings and have not found anything that stabilized the app.

it's great, sound quality improved a lot with this app, but the UI kinda sucks, you can't even scroll down through your whole songs, I have a bunch of music in high quality and it can take me some time to find specifically the song I want to listen to. the app is expensive, but it worth buying it.
