hi I have a mojo paired with a lg v20, I will have improvements in the sound buying an esther m1 pro or an ak 70 mk2 as transport for the mojo?
I hesitate until now between the Samsung S8 or the Sony Xperia xa2 plus.
Are they compatible with DAC usb?
Any usb dacs confirmed to work with a UK Huawei p20 pro??
On all Android devices, unless otherwise stated due to the device focusing on it, all audio, regardless of bit depth or sample rate, goes through Sample rate conversion to 16/48.Hi, I am hoping someone can answer a couple of questions. I am an Android noob, having used iOS (and Windows phone briefly) for 10 years. I have an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 on 4.4.x and I'm wondering when using a USB DAC and playing 16bit 44.1khz content if that is what is being sent to the DAC vs being resampled to 48khz? I know I can use USB Audio Player Pro for local content but I'm also wanting to stream Spotify and am wondering if audio will be resampled. I have a Nexus 6 as well and wondering if newer versions of Android software behave the same? Thank you much for your help.

It's more than just the sample rate though. It's rheway the Android system processes the audio. Even if you are able to get it to output at 44.1, it's still being processed by Android drivers. It just xoesndo sound the same. Not bad, but once you have a device that dowsndo touch the file at all, you are absolutely aware of the difference. It can still sound good, due to different DAC chips, but always sounds a bit better set straight to DAC, IF DAC chips are sameI rooted my Nexus 6 and made the change as noted in this post earlier in the thread:

So I presume all audio is now being presented as 44.1 vs 48k. Or is there still any resampling occurring with USB audio?
