Hello
 
Since most of the threads I can find on this topic are over a year old (forgive me if I missed some), I thought I'd restart this conversation.
 
I'm trying to find the best 24 Bit Flac player for the iPhone 6 Plus & the iPad Mini 3 ...
 
I'm using an ALO International DAC / Headphone Amp connected through a Lightning Connector cable.
 
I have specifically tried Cappricio, and the free sample of AmpliFlac. I've found a considerable acoustic difference between them, which makes me wonder what else is out there that I haven't tried.
 
Has anyone tried Golden Ears by Chaoji Li?  I'm not sure I want to commit $8 without a sampler.
 
  • Full Album Art is a must ... (which eliminates apps like FLAC Player). 
 
  • Landscape is not a game-breaker, but it would help with my car setup.
 
  • I would prefer having the ability to create, or at least manage Playlists within the app. 
 
  • Cost isn't an issue, especially since most of these apps run $10 or less.
 
There seems to be quite a few people like me pursuing this information.
 
There also seems to be a, yet to tapped, market out there for a serious audiophile oriented developer.
 
Any assistance would be appreciated. 
 
Thanks!

Can Opener?

Not sure if you actually hearing 24 bit FLAC or some downsample.
But that is a possible phone limitation, not the app.

Hi, sorry for reopen an old topic.
 
After wasting a lot of time and money testing dozens of IOS flac players I finally find JetAudio
 
The second choice maybe is with canopener, but JetAudio is the best.
 
Cheers...............

Hmm ... I'll have to check out JetAudio for iOS. I use it on Android, but didn't know it was on iOS. 
 
Have you tried KaiserTone for iPhone and iPad? I've used it for a year. 
 
Stable, great sound, beautiful interface, excellent with metadata.
 
Thanks for your suggestion ...

Hi Bill,

Thanks for share your experience. Well I bought KaiserTone and it is really a good player but I'm still preferring JetAudio. The JetAudio's sound is more clear and sharpness, at least with my Sony MDR-10R, and of course easy to setup:

Do you know if JetAudio will go landscape on an iPhone? Especially an iPhone 6s? I couldn't find anything about this online. KaiserTone does this beautifully, and I need landscape for my car setup.
 
Thanks
