Yes,it does. Hiby can play all music files ( DSD,flac,etc,) in mSATA SSD.
 
I had tried with Samsung EVO 840 mSATA SSD (exFAT Formatted)


that solves all problems then!!
1TB storage for smartphone is exactly what I've been looking for.
 
I remember someone has mentioned that when you play music from that SSD in FLOW, it only supports 16bit 44.1kHz quality.
Is that true?? can Hiby play all files up to 32bit 382kHz, DSD 128 at their native quality?

The image is DXD test file(24bit 352.8kHz) from 2L.
Sorry,I donot have 32bit 382 kHz file.
Please click on the image to see it clearly.

Thanks - I finally worked out why it was not working for me before
 
I had to format the mSata in FAT32 using a online utility - http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
 
NTFS/exFat was causing the OTG to not mount properly
 
Now everything works fine in Hiby as per Chart54 - dont know why his works in exFat - but that did not work for me - Only FAT32 works for me.

It might be because some android phones do support only
Fat 16 and Fat 32(SD or micro SD up to 32 GB) and some
phones do support Fat 16,Fat 32 and exFat(SD or micro
up to 64 GB/128GB)

I've been playing around with the Flow lately. Here's a very good combo that sounds very good to me:
 
Mac -> Schitt Wyrd -> Flow.
 
On my Mac I have Audirvana Plus using the iZotope 2x/4x/8x up-samping with optimum settings. The "flatness" of the Sabre DAC sound has been abolished by effectively bypassing the less than stellar default filters.
