  1. There is an option in Settings > Library > Lists > Library List Options, with which you can set the starting point
  2. Why would that be ? Yes, Crossfeed does simulate only a tiny part of the effects real speakers have. But for example Samsungs Sound Alive has an option that promises "Fat Surround Sound". Not that I would like to have that "Fat" sound, but it shouldn't be impossible to simulate room acoustics by adding some reverb to the crossfeed.
  3. A proposal as to how this could be done without much changes to the UI : - use the existing StereoX knob, default would be the middle position, meaning "Off" - turning it to the right would switch on and increase StereoX - turning it to the left would switch on and increase crossfeed There are 3 typical settings provided together with the BS2B crossfeed. They change the 2 parameters by increasing the one and decreasing the other. Shouldn't be too problematic to implement that with a single control. http://bs2b.sourceforge.net/
  4. The slider "Track Duration ..." says below "At least ...". That means : this works for tracks that are AT LEAST that long. Set it to 60 min, and the last position in a track that is 59 min long won't be remembered. For longer tracks it will be remembered. This position is remembered permanently in the database and won't be affected by a closing, complete or otherwise, of the application.
  5. +1 Tried it on Neutron, works better for headphones than StereoX IMHO
  6. If that were the case one would expect the music to become louder when DVC is switched OFF. But it's the other way round : the music gets louder when I switch DVC ON. I found a theory as to what DVC does in https://www.head-fi.org/threads/best-android-music-player-app.638387/page-2 That's the Direct Volume Control feature kicking in. It adjusts the system volume such that if you do boosts in the graphic EQ, what it does instead is boost the system volume then apply EQ cut to everything except the boosted band. That might explain both the vanishing distortions and the higher volume level with DVC on.
  7. I tried to find out what exactly the limiter does and how it affects distortion. On my Samsung S7 with Oreo and build 823 ( high-res, sampling rate 44.1 kHz, wired headphones ) I chose a song ( mp3, 44.1 kHz ) with a significant amount of bass.Then I activated Tone and EQ and set the bass in both to maximum level, including the eq-preamp. I expected to hear distortions, which would then be diminished after I would have activated the limiter. I would try that both for DVC and non-DVC and didn't expect a difference there. Result : without DVC I heard distorted sound, limiter or no limiter didn't make a difference. With DVC I didn't hear distortions, again the limiter didn't make a difference. Question : Bug or Feature ? I'd say bug : the limiter should have prevented the distortions. That there were no distortions with DVC might be a feature of DVC - but then I'd expect the limiter button to be inactive.
  8. Do you choose from "All Artist Songs" or one of the artist's albums ? Which shuffle mode do you use, "Shuffle All", "Shuffle Songs" or "Shuffle Songs/Categories" ?
  9. You start via Library, choose an artist, then choose "All Artist Songs" or one of the artist's albums ? Then you tap on one song in the list view and this starts playing. Then Poweramp automatically switches to the main playing screen ? What shuffle mode is display there ? "Shuffle All", "Shuffle Songs" or "Shuffle Songs/Categories" ? The effect then is the following : shuffling of all songs, not just the artists, but the songs aren't randomly distributed across the artists. Correct ?
  10. It seems this upscaling feature belongs to "Dolby Atmos" : https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00080318/ The purpose of the bit/bandwidth mode seems to improve the music :-) : A more advanced upscaling option that will make the sound quality higher.
  11. Tried Float 32 sample format ? Sorry, just saw that you haven't got that option.
  12. The S7 Edge SM-G935FD doesn't support Hi-Res ? Strange. My S7 SM-G930F does.
  13. For details see the following links or search in these forums. High-Resolution-Audio-Support has been generally declared an experimental feature. Especially Samsung with Pie seems to be a problematic platform.
  14. Currently that is not supported.
  15. Because most users ( meaning most of those who participated in decision making ) decided not to keep the old UI and modify it but rather replace it with a completely new one using the latest technical features.
  16. It's not quite clear what you are saying, perhaps a translation problem. Do you want to play music without resampling ? That can be achieved with some devices and sampling rates. For example when I play mp3 files ripped from CD on my S7 with Oreo and Build 820 I use High-Res with 44.1 kHz and a Bluetooth headset via SBC, no resampling is done.
  17. This topic cannot be solved conclusively in a forum it seems. We had a long discussion here : It boils down to the question whether there is something more to deviations from sine waves than higher frequency sine waves. Fourier shows that there isn't, and as physics tends to be well dealt with by mathematics, that's OK for me. Meaning that if I can't hear frequencies above 16 kHz I also can't hear the deviations from 16 kHz.
  18. There have been discussions about this : So I think this should be possible : "And in tags which can have multiple entries (such as Artist, Genre, etc) the separator should be "//" or ";". "
  19. What are your Settings > Audio > Output ? Could you try to use another plugin ? Tried to disable DVC ?
  20. Which doesn't necessarily mean that mp3 is better than high resolution. It could be possible that decades of listening to inferior CD quality have ruined our perception and we are unable to appreciate superior quality. ( not my opinion, just for sake of argument )
  21. My Sony headphones support LDAC. If I use it the audio output switches to 96 kHz resampling rate, although I'd rather prefer to keep it at 44.1 kHz as my music files deliver that. Therefore I use SBC, which shouldn't be worse than the 320 kbps mp3 I mostly play. Do you think that's a sensible decision ? Or might I still reap some benefits from LDAC despite ( or because of ? ) having ( unnecessarily ? ) to upscale the sampling rate ? I decided this after reading the following : https://www.audioholics.com/audio-technologies/bluetooth-audio-guide To be perfectly honest, in real-world application using moderate to good quality wireless headphones, streaming 320-bit MP3s from your phone, you’d be hard-pressed to actually hear any discernible difference from the same source fully wired while bypassing Bluetooth SBC compression completely. But there is a difference, and higher-end headphones may illuminate SBC’s limitations.
  22. IMHO the one benefit to be obtained by using high resolution technology is the option to forgo resampling and process the 44.1 kHz from file to speaker.
  23. I'm no android developer and don't know any of Poweramp's internals either. So all I can do is search a bit and see what I can find: https://www.androidauthority.com/best-equalizer-apps-android-761240/ https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/Equalizer From that it seems that it should be generally possible to write an equalizer app, the first link shows some existing ones. They are implemented with the help of the API, which is documented in the second link. I would now venture several guesses : you HAVE to use this API if you implement a general equalizer, this then isn't as good as Poweramp's, therefore Poweramp doesn't do it that way, therefore Poweramp cannot be used as general equalizer. Anybody who knows better feel free to put things right !
  24. There are equalizer apps in the play store, though. So it doesn't seem to be generally impossible for an app to fit into the android audio stream. @maxmp As this is a often requested feature, perhaps you could briefly outline the difference between Poweramp and an equalizer app ?
