USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

[BobSmith8901]

Anyone know of a fix for the stuttering issue when playing bit perfect tidal MQA through UAPP? This is happening on my Sony WM1AM2. Works fine on my phone. And non MQA files play perfectly fine.

Are you also using Bluetooth when streaming? I find that there are times that when I'm streaming MQA over Tidal (using either Shanling M6 Pro 21 with 16X hardware decoding or even a current Android 11 Lenovo tablet which uses the software unfold of UAPP) I will get stuttering and stalling of the stream. When I go back to wired phones, no problem on either. If Bluetooth, check the CODEC-- if LDAC, try a lower bandwidth such as aptx or SBC.

I also experience this sometimes when using the Tidal Android app in either of the above usage scenarios. Something about the higher data load of the MQA stream coming from the wireless router to the device and then adding the Bluetooth stream from device to headphones creating a data traffic jam. Anyway, it may apply to you or it may not, but the overhead of the MQA stream is the culprit somehow or another in my experience. Your phone may have a better/faster WiFi and BT hardware interplay so it doesn't have the problem.

Nope, Bluetooth is disabled.

Nope, Bluetooth is disabled.

I guess adjusting the network buffering as previously posted might possibly fix it.

I saw someone else post about this a long time ago, but I don't think there was a resolution to the issue...so here goes:

I have a FiiO M11 - and a library of approximately 40K songs. Browsing the list of Album Artists is very smooth, but when it comes to choosing an album, the load time to actually display the track list of the album can be about 30 seconds. It makes the app pretty unusable, unfortunately.

Is this a common issue for people with large file libraries?

Thanks!

Sorry for the question. Have you updated your app to the latest? Thought this was resolved ages ago. Or it was for another issue (network related).

Yes - fully updated! Frustrating.

I use UAPP with a FiiO M11 Plus (ESS). I've noticed that DsD plays back at 384Khz instead of the "native" 5.6 MHz or 11.2 Mhz.

In the FiiO Music app DsD plays back at 5.6 and 11.2 Mhz. Is there a way to do the same in UAPP or does it convert everything to PCM?

I don't have my UAPP accessible to check the exact setting but I believe DSD playback settings are configurable in UAPP, and with my HibyRS6 it plays DSD natively and displays it as such.

I think I've tried every setting to no avail.

That's exactly right! And how it works for LG V30, V35, V40, V50, G7 and G8. LG scrapped MQA starting in V60.

@Bernard23: You can download a UAPP trial on their website. But compared to what we otherwise spend on audio gear and music, it's an easy spend.

How come the v20 is not there? What is the difference?

Have You setted in the Settings->USB audio->DSD mode to Native DSD?

Yep. UAPP says "Direct: 352.8kHz DSF: DSD 5.6MHz 1bit". I am not using the USB out, just the built in DAC on the M11 Plus.

Fiio M11 Plus also reports sample rate as 352.8kHz.

Same here. My guess is that @Davy Wentzler hasn't added DSD support for the M11 Plus (ESS).

Try also playing the various flags on the Settings > Internal HiRes Audio > HiRes driver flags
