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

This app is incredibly slow, sometimes totally unresponsive. I've been using it for approx 2 weeks on a Pixel 7 Pro and even with the specs of this phone, the app is laggy as hell. Sometimes it'll completely freeze up and need forced closed and relaunched just to play a song. It's especially laggy when using tidal. Pretty poor considering the price and paying for the MQA plugin. I'd say avoid this app, but not many options. In a word: Disappointing.

Reinstalled at times for the sound quality, uninstalled at times because the user interface and functionality are the pits. There is no ideal world and music player apps will prove it. In my dreams I'm officiating at the wedding of Neutron's UI and UAPP's SQ. Just try using UAPP's EQ in landscape mode on a phone. It's been that way for years! Sigh.

UPDATE: After the recommendation given by UAPP staff, the app works like a treat. Thank you for your prompt response. ORIGINAL: Keeps crashing when a dac is attached. When playing music and Samsung 22 Ultra, by turning off the screen, so you have the controls on lock screen, music stops and when opening UAPP message appears "USB device initializing" but works fine when app is open.

What's new

* Solved an issue where the duration in audio frames was only half of the actual duration which could cause 'Error decoding' errors especially when playing some tracks from TIDAL.
* The file type for TIDAL M4A tracks wasn't displayed. Solved.
* When playback from TIDAL resulted in an error, TIDAL radio could be triggered erroneously. Solved.
* Year and genre weren't always used from a cue file. Solved.
* Solved a possible crash with UPnP cast.
