On Android 5.0+, SB Player has an option to use floating point PCM output which is a lossless conversion from 24bit audio. However, internally the Android audio system still isn't fully floating point, so at some point the floating point PCM will be converted back to 16bit. Also, from my and other users' testing, when using a USB DAC with Android the output is locked to 16bit and either 44.1 or 48 Khz. Basically even though SB Player can send the equivalent of 24/96 audio in the system, there's no way to pass it through to a DAC that can handle it. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98049 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
