2.5 balance is dual dac. Unless your app cannot make a sound through 2.5 balance jack.
Did someone test Poweramp and 2.5 balanced output?

Yes, almost all android board will have integrated DAC. Unless manufacturer stated (like how V20 disable snapdragon astiq dac, and even then, many 3rd party app cannot fully utilize its quad dac to fullest ability. 3rd party can only use one dac, with android own interface, which downsample the music), we don't know if there is any routing done thru the integrated DAC. The only way to be sure is to disassemble X1 / X1A and see if its integrated DAC still around or not.
This is general android issue. I just found out that Axon 7 smartphone which have its AKM DAC have same issue, whereby only its own native app can utilize its AKM DAC fully. Other 3rd party app downsample and use the integrated DAC

Not yet but I think the alpha built might eventually be able to take advantage of the Hifi DAC

Well I just installed the 703 it is free for 2 weeks if you register on the forum $3.99 thee after, and I can tell it is working and I thing it is gonna be the way to go (so far no streaming playing like DNLS and no V4android but I I think no needed the sound is very nice)
anyway in setting -audio-hi-res output (experimental)
direct Hardware 24 bit 96/192Khz
wired headset/aux
I just downloaded hiby music player, it is easy to use and it plays dsd iso file which onkyo native player cannot,
and it can play all my music on my private cloud at home through wifi, it is awesome.
The question remains, does Hiby ufully utilize the benefit of dual dac?
Will try 2.5mm balanced output when I have my cable ready.
Incidentally, i also read the same thing for V20. Poweramp alpha..(and only its future alpha version) is one of the player confirmed to be able to fully utilize its quad dac configuration and will not downsample the song.

Well, after 1 week of balanced usage, the jack got loose and broke. Needless to say, contacting for a refund.
