    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    You say you "just pulled" the leather off your HA2 - could you be a bit more detailed/specific. Mine went from holding its charge for a shorter and shorter time, and now won't charge at all.

    How to fully exit UAPP

    As per my thread title. I have the app on a Samsung S7+, android 12. When I use the standard "Close all" the app folder disappears, but on the settings pull-down from top of screen, the app still shows, with no X to click on, nor does swiping to the right work??

    Help - just bought Samsung Galaxy S7+

    For years I have been happily using USB Audio Pro on my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro (12.2" tablet) with an OTG usb micro B to USB micro B cable out to my Oppo HA2 DAC. Now I have the Samsung Galaxy s7+ 12.4" tablet with a USB C as the only output. What cables/adapters/whatevers do I need to use...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    I would make sure you use the windows browser to transfer the files from PC to your Tablet. And make sure you know where on your tablet you are sending them. To internal storage, or do you have a smartcard storage plugged into your tablet? I would be recommending using a smart card, and...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    If you stick a 128 Gb smart card into the Tab A, that should give you plenty of room to store a fair number of FLAC files, even with a fair proportion of 96k/24 bit recordings. The Tab A should support such a card: my older Samsung Galaxy Note Pro does. The UAPP app takes care of the high...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Personally, I don't see how upsampling any kind of audio file can improve the sound quality: you cannot get out of a sound file any more quality than what is originally in it. Putting it in a higher format container is like putting a more expensive wrapper around a box: the package might look...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    You seem to imply here that "Hi-Res" and "MQA" are interchangeable terms. There are many expert critics who regard MQA as anything but true hi-res, as I have mentioned in a previous post. Some even equate the claims of MQA with the snake-oil claims of "magic" exteme high-cost cables...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Hi. Am using UAPP on a samsung Note Pro, Android 5.02, and Oppo HA 2 DAC. Have played some HiRes 96/24 5.1 channel flac, without any apparent loss from the surround channels. Is it UAPP combining the surround channels into 2-channel stereo, or would it be my DAC doing this?

    I am inclined to agree with many critics that MQA is a bit of a con: https://darko.audio/2017/03/highresaudio-com-calls-for-a-deeper-technical-analysis-of-mqa/ http://www.realhd-audio.com/?p=6109 https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/30381-mqa-is-vaporware/?page=306...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Can UAPP be loaded onto the likes of the Nvidia Shield and used to play back flac files bit-perfect through the HDMI port, bypassing the android tv os kernal apis? I have been extremely happy with UAPP's performance on my Samsung Note Pro 12.2 through to my Oppo HA2 Dac to my Oppo PM3...

    HibyMusic Android and iOS Music Player - Bit-perfect USB Output; Network and Dropbox Streaming

    Hi all. Will this app read 5.1 channel surround 96/24 flac? And 5.1 surround DSD files? And will it only output to DACs or is it able to output via HDMI? I have an Nvidia Shield TV box, hooked up to my av receiver, hence the question. (The Shield, of course, is not running the usual android...

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    LOL at myself - of course a USB connection is digital!!! Idiot (me, that is)!!! I think I knew that when I said I "was prepared to be corrected on the analogue" part, just hadn't thought it through.     Are we sure here that it its the Oppo that loses the handshake, and not the host device...
