Still, even with 24=>16 resampling by Lenovo (I guess, this is due to Dolby being 16-bit only, it supports 192khz though), Hi-Fi audio path is better, and I'm adding separate "Lenovo Hi-Fi" variant into Hi-Res output plugin (Android 6.0+).

just out of curiosity i'm attaching my audio policy, FYI i do have to toggle a switch to actually activate the sabre DAC. maybe that's whats causing the problem.

and dolby is just a software effect ya, so i dont really turn it on.

thanks again mate.

Poweramp build-702 seems to support Hi-Res output on this device. Though, only partially:
- when Hi-Res (and thus-24bit) output is enabled in build-702, X3 applies extra filtering above 24khz (or silently resamples to 48khz). Thus it can't be qualified as Hi-Res
- when "hi-fi" output up to 192khz is enabled (debug build), only 16-bit is possible. That can't be qualified as Hi-Res too.

Ah that is a shame. Was really looking forward to using Poweramp on my device.
thank you for looking into it mate.
