I have searched. Honest.

 
But I have not found.
 
An update of digital-capable players, apart from UAPP, would be great. Please?

 
OK, so I searched and found (or rather, stumbled across) the thread on Android and DACs.
 
I also found the the thread all about UAPP.

is there any of this "excellent sound quality players" that includes lyrics within the app?
I mean without using musicmatch... etc...

Neutron has lyrics support.  It reads it from the music file's tag and so you don't need to be online.

I've been experimenting with my DragonFly 1.2 USB DAC, playing FLAC files under different conditions. It sounds best on my Galaxy S4 using USB Audio Player Pro. Better than even Foobar off my PC.
 
That says something. Beats Neutron, too.
 
Playing through Klipsch Image X7i earphones.

Hi PinkyPower.

Could you tell me how do you connect your S4 to theDragonFly 1.2 USB DAC?

I have a DAC PORT LX that I use with my laptop but maybe I Could use with my phone.

Does The DragonFly 1.2 USB DAC and Dac port LX would drain the phone's battery?

 

[PinkyPowers]

I use a regular Micro to USB OTG cable, and a USB media player like USB Audio Player Pro.

And yes, it does drain the battery faster, so use modestly low impedance headphones, so the draw is not so bad. On my 50 Ohm Klipsch, I get hours and hours out of it. Something like 8 or 10. 10 might be pushing it.

Also, make sure you turn on USB Audio. For my S4, the feature is under My Device > Accessories > Audio Output Mode > Use External Speakers.

Not all DACs will work on your phone, but the S4 has quite a large number that do.

One more recommendation for Neutron music player, sound quality is exquisite.

But i believe it can´t pass the 16 bit Android restriction. USB Audio Player Pro can at USB OTG.

 

[PinkyPowers]

Correct. UAPP can output at full 24bit/192khz.

My DragonFly only does 24/96, and the player downsamples when the files are above that. It's an impressive app.

I think USB Audio Player Pro (UAPP) is good, but I am having a little problem.
 
Currently, I am trying to use an Android tablet with my ifi Nano iDSD and Sony MDR-Z7.  To send audio signals from the tablet to the ifi, I am using UAPP.  When I use the program, it is excellent.  When I tried to use other programs, sometimes, I am having a problem.  For instance, Google Movie Player doesn't work properly.
 
Anyone having the same problem?

Remember that UAPP is a combination of player and drivers. it does not provide any drivers for other applications to use. If they are supported by your level of Android, they will work, regardless of UAPP, and, if not, they will not.

I think i have read somewhere that some player downsample (Poweramp and Neutron) the file from 24bit/192k to 24bit/96k.. But what if the phone is only capable output of 16bit/48k ? So this player (PowerAmp and Neutron) is use to bypass the internal limitation to 24bit/96k? While UAPP can bypass the 24bit/96k limitation only with connecting to external DAC? So if I were to use UAPP alone i won't be able to go higher than 24bit/96k? Hope I'm getting this right..

Tried Neutron but purchased DeadBeef Pro instead. Fewer features than Neutron, but I am satisfied with it.

No. PowerAmp and Neutron will only output at 16bit. It's not the DAC, but Android that is limited. At least it was. Lollipop is supposed to fix that, if your phone has that upgrade (mine doesn't). The DAC has plenty of its own limitations. Being stuck at 16bit is not a hardware issue this time, but software.
 
UAPP, however, bypasses all of this, when outputting to an external DAC. That's a large part of why it's such a fantastic choice.
