  Use root explorer with root,
 
Mount R/W to the /system/app folder
 
Move them there and install.

 
That's exactly what I did, mate. Installing them one by one would've taken too long. Aint nobody got time fo' dat!

Confirmed Samsung Galaxy S4 works with the HRT Music Streamer II+ if used in USB debugging mode and with USB Audio Player Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro&hl=en . I did not need to use an external powered USB hub, but tried it both with and without and it works fine. The USB hub I used was USB 3.0 and I did not experience any errors.
 
The S4, unlike the S3, lacks a USB host stack. In order to add the missing part of the Android OS, you must use a media player that offers its own USB host stack. Gotta make sure you use a USB OTG host mode adapter cable.

The list of USB DACs working with Galaxy S4 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3XYy1FuzDUeRHQwMjBJQ0VqSjg/edit , states the UD110V2 by Stoner Acoustics, as compatible without the need for UAPP. I found that this is not the case, It can only work with the UAPP.
 
Did anyone succeeded to play it without the UAPP (native player or straming)?
 
Please advice
 
Thanks

  Nexus 7 powered car mod: USB audio out towards a FiiO E17

Why do you have a cable plugged into the AUX/Line in?

The mod is not mine.
 
There is certainly some line-level audio equipment at the other end of the cable.
 
According to the article pointed by the above mentioned link,
"... Chris uses a USB DAC for audio through his speaker system...
... Both Chris and Mike rely on a special 3rd party ROM made specifically for Nexus 7 tablets and car installations. The ROM is called USB ROM and has important features like USB host mode charging, plug&play handler for DAC, Media buttons (volume, play/pause + next track) on nav-bar and much more..."
 
"USB ROM for Nexus 7
Supported USB audio devices
These are just some of the supported USB DAC's: CM106-F, FiiO E07 + E10 + E17, Hifimediy Sabre, VIA USB Audio Dongle, Behringer UFO202 + UCA202 + UCA222, Syba SD-CM-UAUD, Miditech Audioface2 (PCM 2902), FujitsuSiemens PortReplicator (CM 108), Aune T1 (TE7022), Turtle Beach Micro II, BERESFORD Caiman, Teralink x2, Headroom Total Bithead, Fostex PC-100USB.
Basically all standard USB audio devices should work.
Problems have been reported only with TAS1020B based DAC's."

Wicked! Tried DSD?

Hopefully, he will test DSD on his upcoming review of UAPP.
 
"For audiophile playback I started off with my Macbook Pro and Audirvana software, and later plugged into a Dell Venue 7 tablet with the USB Audio Player Pro app (separate review upcoming) and a HTC Harman-Kardon Edition smart phone with USB Audio Player Pro."
