Aren't bigger nummers always better? Pun intended.

To answer the question of the TS:   Because higher numbers, either bits or kHz or $$ mean better sound, IT HAS TO!!   Better listen to great MUSIC then to a great system. Choice of great music is strictly personal.

+1.   My Japanese is lousy. Read non-existent.

Could you tell which type or model Unitek HUB and which USB charger worked for you? I use a newer version Ipad Mini with Retina display and Lightning CCK.

Regarding track order in 8player:   You can change sorting mode in the toolbar - there you can select "Track N" option. You can open toolbar by pressing yellow arrow button in the left bottom corner of the screen. There is no point if the player tells you what is being output. Better...

I don't use DSD files. I am quit happy playing upto 24/96 files in iPeng or upto 24/192 in 8player.   I don't use playlists. Both in iPeng and 8player all Albums are listed separately with the tracks they contain.   I don't care whether the music I like is in FLAC, ALAC, WAV or DSD, DFF, DSF...

Been thinking about a Windows 8.1 alternative, but these are just TOO EXPENSIVE. Both come close to 2000 Euros here in Holland. That gets me a lot of music.   For now I am quite happy with my iPad mini plus iDSD nano. Streaming music of my server or wireless 1TB Seagate disk.

We all know know by now that UAPP unleashes DAC support and hires playback over USB on many Android devices with support for many DACs, incl Cambridge DACMagic XS, Audioquest Firefly, iFI iDSD Nano and many more. But I cant call it a real music playing solution for me if it can only play 1 song...

That happened/happens a lot. Many producers don't know or don't care that when recording at levels of 0dB or over it on digital equipment results in distortion (clipping). Analog equipment is more forgiving.

+1   Like I mentioned before.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/4350#post_10369255

Ditching my Android phone completely as it comes to streaming music to an external DAC. Simply causes too much frustration. Luckily you can use it as a phone........

I don't feel like buying memorycards for phones and copying over my music. I rather stream it of my network. But UAPP has no streaming ability, eventhough it is the only app that can make my DAC sing upto 24/192. I can select a file in ES file manager and have UAPP play it, but this is rather...

What is the RAY? Please point me to it.   Any changes of getting the iDSD Nano working with a Galaxy S4 and streaming player?

I pity anyone who tells me there is a difference in how a 4 inch cable "sounds". In the end this is gonna cost lots of money.   But... If its in you mind.   I spoke once with a HiFi aficionado who told me that his 10.000 Euros a piece speakers sounded great. I only replied with a few words...

So sad all this trouble. Why is every brand different. And even every Android version. There really should be a basic Android with basic functionality, including audio over USB. And not capped at 44 or 48kHz. So the phone doesn't have to do the task of resampling.   If the phone hard and...
