What is the highest OS this can run?

People have been constantly running 16X from 44.1 into 705.6 for a while now

That is a totally irrelevant question because each that manufacturer sets their operating system updates.

So iBasso is the one that needs to update the operating system to the latest android?

Yes, yes I have.

Are you seriously saying that the operating system on the DX300MAX is not up to snuff? Or is it just not up to your expectations based on the latest and greatest cell phone?

I am saying that I want to know just how far in the future I can go with this as far as the android operating system is concerned.

Currently Android 9 and I think there will never be an update to Android 10 or later.

It is snapdragon 660. So as high as Android allows it ? Ibasso update pretty frequently with firmware OS

But they’re two OS‘ behind Android 11.

I don’t pay much attention to that as I don’t use new AndroidOS for anything … virtually nothing that I desire from audio quality purposes for my needs. I am curious, why do you want to use the newest Android ?

I even prefer MangoOS which is Nada Android actually.

The only reason why I would use Android is to upgrade firmware on device, and or Neutron for Oversampling

And this is the basis for my earlier post. Do you know of any DAP that runs on android 11? If so then buy that one.

Audiophile world moves at a different pace. Look at Shanling DAPs from entry to flagship, all still on Android 7

DAPs are not smartphones, and as you probably aware, it is more about system optimization for audio performance rather than getting the latest Android OS with smartphone bells and whistles you don't even need or can't even take advantage of in a DAP. Currently, Snapdragon 660 SoC and Android 9 is the most common high-end combo for optimized DAPs.

3Max and Sony Z1r are the best pairing ever. Right? Haha

I know DAPs are not smartphones, but they run other apps besides audio (just like smart phones). I don’t need all the bells and whistles. I just want to know that the apps I use will still being supported and not left behind because the operating system became outdated. It happened on some old iPads I had; I was just wondering about the likelihood of that happening here.

I still have the Pioneer xdp-300r as my second dap. It runs on Android 5 and 2 days ago i just updated the UAPP on it and it works like it was new. Tidal, files, no matter what. Neutron works like a charm as well. And it didnt even get slower. I dont get your concerns tbh.
