Which setting do you recommend Davy? The native device sample rate must also involve resampling if it is different to the majority of the music (which it seems to be based on the coloured light on a Dragonfly) so I assume you recommend 44.1. In that case should we keep our music to being all 44.1 and lose high resolution capabilities?
Thanks for your input!
It all depends...
If your device has a native sample rate of 44.1kHz:
* Fixed 44.1kHz -> perfect choice: every other sample rate will use UAPP's sample rate conversion (soxr library)
* Device native: same
* Variable: worse quality for anything other than 44.1kHz since you'll be using Android's SRC
If your device has a native sample rate of 48kHz:
* Fixed 44.1Khz: for 44.1kHz audio, Android will SRC to 48kHz, for all other sample rates, UAPP will SRC to 44.1kHz, then Android will SRC to 48kHz (unless the audio was in 48kHz, which is rare)
* Device native: UAPP will SRC to 48kHz, Android will not SRC
* Variable sample rate: Android SRC will be used (except for 48kHz material)
