neeverr Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 hi guys, first of all thanks for sharing your experiences. I need to know if there is an android phone able to play bit perfect music with Poweramp (=w/o any resampling step). example: Can my galaxy s6 (exynos) play a 44.1/16 file without any "dsp transformation"... enabling dac to receive and process an untouched 44.1/16 flow?!?? any suggestion would be more than welcome... ciao v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yes, Poweramp alpha-test can do this if you select the required output resolution. However if you have multiple different encoding rates you would need to adjust between each file, as PA can't currently adjust on the fly to match the bitrate of each file.

neeverr Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 ciao Andre, thank you for the answer. So can you confirm that coupling PA with a galaxy s6 I'm reaching the following two goals: 1) completely bypass any samsung/android DSP (likely avoiding a V shaped sound signature) 2) assuming my music library is entirely 44.1/16 flac... I would have a bit perfect playback (=no DSP at all --> DAC only receive and process an untouched bits flow) just setting PA alpha to output 44.1/16 Sorry for the cross-check... being not english native... I want to ensure my communication thanks again Valerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Poweramp uses its own processing code, avoiding most of the phone's code. Download the alpha-test and give it a go, you have a two-week full featured trial period before you need to register. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeverr Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm trying... a couple of questions: why is it not possible to set the hi-def output to 16bit? I know that technically 16bit is not hi-def, but it could be usefull to have a "bit-perfect" playback bypassing samsung/android DSP stage... why the 88.2khz output is not available? the 44.1 is there... so what's up with the 88.2? thanks in adv valerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Remember that this feature is still experimental, there is still more work to be done before it becomes an official feature (i.e when PA v3 is officially released). Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
