For BT, in my opinion, Poweramp has more settings/customizations. In which you can directly choose what codec to use and what depth/bitrate. Using this to configure my Creative BT-W5 on using aptX Adaptive HQ (24/96) to my FiiO UTWS5. In UAAP, i can't do it.

So Poweramp can configure the BT-W5? For me the BT-W5 always presents as a USB device (not as BT) and I can only configure it from the Creative app.

That's really interesting actually. I've never tried any other players before. I'm so used to uapp's ui and settings, plus the peak meter is nice as well!

That's why I have been using Bluetooth Codec Changer by AmrG DEV ... Gives great access to and flexibility in Codec management.

Works great alongside UAPP!

Tried Bluetooooth Codec Changer and it won't do. It is looking for the internal bluetoooth of my phoone not the USB attached.

So I went to test UAAP again. Maybe, just maybe, now... Who knows... And happy to report that my Creative BT-W5 is functioning as a USB DAC sending aptX Adaptive HQ (24/96) to my FiiO UTWS (may be the updates did its magic). Though, need to disable High quality DSD conversion under Settings > USB Audio to avoid dropouts.

Compared to Poweramp...well you guessed it! Back again...

UPDATE: Although as said by the previoud poster, could not configure its BT codec. But playing at its hightest (aptX Adaptive HQ) is just enough for me.

In Poweramp to configure the "USB Dac", it was under: Settings > Audio > Output > Hi-Res Output > USB DAC

I definitely plan on it, real interesting seeing how it evolved! I first used UAPP with my aging v20 around 2018ish. That would first carry all of my offline flacs. After I hit the 256gb max storage, I never ended up getting a 512gb SD card for some reason. Ended up moving over to a laptop with hard drive, and fiio k3 dac/ magni 3 amp setup to carry on with my digital library.

I currently don't have enough storage on my phone rn to carry all of those with me. (My overall library is up to like 320gb). So I'm mainly using UAPP with Tidal for now. Anyways I plan on getting a 512gb s24u soon, so I can carry my library with me and stream Tidal as well

OT: The first time I heard Holly Cole's version of I Can See Clearly Now, back in '93, it blew my mind. Still does.

Hi fellow UAPP users. Is it just me or is UAPP a power hog compared to PowerAmp?

Both apps are excellent music players imo, so I'm not concerned about the subjective experience of either. Both are source-transparent on my V60 to my ears in non-blind A/B testing, but as I was switching back and forth between apps on the same track I noticed that UAPP is definitely a few decibels louder at the same system volume than PowerAmp, so I had to volume normalize. Once I did volume normalizing there's no difference I can hear.

Has anyone else noticed any of that?

I'm asking because it seems like UAPP is a battery hog, if that's not just my imagination, I'd prefer to use PowerAmp, so I get maximum battery life.

Thanks!
