Is there an ios app that can output 24/96 to DAC? I have FLAC Player by Dan Leehr already but don't want to spend money on other apps without knowing.

I have encountered a strange thing. I connect my iPhone 6s to Fiio ALPEN 2-E17K with micro USB on Fiio and Lightning on iPhone. I can verify on the Fiio screen that it is receiving digital 24/96.

If I use a normal apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, the player plays for 1 minute fine but after that, the audio starts to have distortions.

Now if I use an apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, these were made for iPad Pro, Flac Player plays the whole audio fine, no distortions.

Any idea why and how do you connect your iphone to a DAC? What DAC and adapter you use?

Someone here recommended NePLAYER Lite to me recently and I have been having impressive results. It handles 24bit up to 384k for only £2.99.

As for your distortion problem are you on ios10?

On my 6s+ I have had distortion problems since the first betas when outputting to an external DAC using either types of Camera Connector. It happens with flacplayer, Tidal, etc and may start after 1 minute or 1 hour. I can't reproduce the problem on my iPhone 5 though.

Yes I'm on ios 10. But it's not easy to reproduce. Now the problem is gone for the moment.

Can you load tracks by folder with Capriccio or Flac Player by Dan?

I am fairly sure that I have accidentally loaded tracks by folder with FLAC Player but I will try it for you later this week.

By the way the distortion I mentioned in the post above was caused by using an ad blocker that ios10 doesn't play nicely with. Apple had already given me a new iPhone 6s Plus before I worked this out!

I add folders into Flacplayer by Dan Leehr
