This Neplayer ( Japan app ) has setting to passthrough ... (tick sound quality priority option work for internal dac too)

Normally app like nuetron music player or usb audio player pro resample dsd to 24 176khz (5.6mhz) or 356khz ( on usb audio pro)

Which sound really off to the native .... After suddenly i found the difference after clicking on passthrough option i cross check it by opening LG g8x android 9 which support dsd native

This app also support MQA 😶 directly as passthrough on lg v50 could be check by turning on off it dont affect audio

In simple im not claiming this app better ( as it cost around 10 dollar) i hv mod apk but overall its way better player for dsd than any other for android 9 n android 10 or below ... On 11 or 12 i didnt check ... once u on passthrough u cant play dsd 256 11.2 or 512 22.0 which is way higher than support version 64 n 128 ... u will find difference for sure

I have decided im not sending fkk u gigabyte i will buy new one ... its ur duty to pick up heavy product its not a motherboard or fkingg ram

worse Company ever...

Just install jriver in given ver on hifi fix app ur ready to go

*So how does it work? But before that, we should understand why it works.*

1. *It seems LG caps the power output for different types of IEMs or headphones by analyzing their impedance (ohm).* Every LG user has probably experienced how going above a certain volume level causes highly distorted sound.

2. *What happens here is that, to save battery, it pre-calculates the voltage or Vrms.* As you can see with other Hi-Res external DACs, what they do is increase the Vrms in line with the volume level.

3. *LG caps it. For example, if your IEMs are 32 ohms, it’s calculated to work best at a volume level of 42 to 45.* If it’s 48 ohms or 42 ohms, the optimal level is around 51. _Set typo corrected_

4. *Increasing the volume above this only gives an artificially boosted signal.* It’s similar to VLC Player’s 200% audio level — it gets louder, but with more distortion.

It takes time to understand, but after experimenting with 40 to 60 different players, I found that *JRiver 25.0.116 with the Hi-Fi Quad DAC fix app bypasses this*. This means increasing the volume even above 55 to 60 still doesn’t produce as much distortion as it used to.

I cant directly prove through post but you will experince changes i hv try it on lg g8x android 9 n lg v50 android 10 ( i hv no idea on will old apk of jriver or hifi fix will work on android 13 or 14 )

side effect of this battery draining n might warm phone if warming try other version of jriver below 28.0 mod version after that jriver started to recognize power management of the android...
