Hey all, I just got myself a Dragonfly Cobalt to use with PC/laptop and my Android phone. Regarding the latter, I found good information hard to find, but as far as I can tell any USB DAC on Android will have the problem of Android upsampling 44.1kHz files (i.e. all mp3 files in general) to 48kHz, which introduces very noticeable clicks during playback. I have already a couple of music apps that have their own USB driver to get around this, however Spotify playback cannot be fixed by this as opposed to Tidal, for example. Since Spotify's collection is bigger and I've already found that a substantial number of my Spotify favourites are not in the Tidal collection, moving to Tidal is not really a great solution for me right now.
I did find some forum posting about fixing this 48kHz upsampling issue in Android but it involves rooting your phone and editing system files. Has anyone tried this? Can anyone confirm that this is really a fix?
If anyone has more info or tips about using the Cobalt on an Android phone, please share!
