I am using Neutron by now. There are things I don't understand about its output, but looks like it use hi-res as well (declaring 32-bit output since Android 5.0+). Though not sure. Forum isn't very informative. Neutron gives more energy to the drums section and less neutral than Poweramp in my opinion, but no errors. Be aware: no 30-50-100 steps volume control by keys and make right volume by slider is not easy task, interface is less friendly, also can't show embedded art in files, no art searcher, etc. Still it produces good sound.
I agree on some things you've said. I really wanted to like neutron, but it's just not that 'user friendly'. And I know that, a lot of people seemed to be 'overwhelm' in the settings on Poweramp but it is a lot friendly and organized. On the other hand, Neutron feels scattered and upfront (which makes it more intimidating to newbies) or at least in my opinion, making it harder to change certain settings. Also, this might be an isolated case but I'm having scrolling issue with Neutron as it lags quite a lot.
Aesthetically speaking, if someone wants a music player based on looks; black player gets my vote. But, I still find its setting quite streamlined to the point that you are contained on that settings only, which can upset a lot of tinkers. While Poweramp is a great all-rounder and quite balanced too, it has quite the aesthetic look of black player and customibility (if that's even a word lol) of Neutron player. I think advanced users can appreciate Neutron player more though as it is quite 'forward' like I said than those 2 players mentioned.
