USB Audio Player PRO

Premium high-resolution audio player for audiophiles with USB DAC support.

Overview

USB Audio Player PRO is a feature-rich media player designed to satisfy the demands of serious audio enthusiasts on Android devices. Built with advanced audio processing and a range of compatibility options, this app stands out by supporting USB audio DACs and high-resolution audio chips, allowing playback well beyond the restrictions of standard Android audio.

Audio Quality and DAC Support

USB Audio Player PRO is engineered for exceptional audio fidelity. By bypassing the Android audio system, it allows playback at bitrates and sample rates that many other players cannot achieve. It works directly with almost all USB audio DACs, playing files natively up to 32-bit/768kHz or whatever the connected DAC supports. This means users can benefit from uncompromised, bit-perfect sound that is ideal for high-end headphones and audio equipment.

For devices equipped with HiRes audio chips, such as select LG, Samsung, Sony, and OnePlus models, the app accesses 24-bit audio without forced resampling, delivering music exactly as intended by the studio.

Format and Streaming Support

The app covers a broad spectrum of audio file compatibility, including popular formats like FLAC, WAV, MP3, and AAC, as well as more niche types such as MQA, DSD, and SACD ISO. Its versatility extends to streaming services, allowing integration with TIDAL and Qobuz for HiRes FLAC and MQA streaming. Shoutcast radio support is also present, catering to internet radio listeners.

Advanced Features

Audiophiles will appreciate specialized functions such as MQA Core decoding (in-app purchase) for optimal playback of Master Quality Authenticated tracks, direct DSD playback, DoP support, and the ability to convert DSD to PCM. The app also offers gapless playback, folder playback, and a wide range of network playback options, including Samba, FTP, WebDAV, and UPnP servers.

The built-in 10-band equalizer and optional advanced parametric EQ (via in-app purchase) provide extensive audio customization. The Toneboosters MorphIt headphones simulator is available as a paid add-on for those seeking tailored sound profiles for over 700 headphone models.

User Experience and Interface

While focused on high-quality playback, USB Audio Player PRO maintains an organized interface suited for managing both local and networked libraries. Lyrics synchronization adds a useful layer for vocal music, and Android Auto support makes it accessible during driving sessions.

Some users have encountered minor issues related to album art display on car infotainment systems after switching audio modes or receiving calls. However, general feedback centers on the app’s reliable performance and continued improvement through active development and community support.

Community and Support

The developer maintains a responsive support system, encouraging users to reach out via forums or email for help and feature suggestions. The strong user community and developer engagement ensure regular updates and responsiveness to reported issues.

In-App Purchases and Value

Most core features are included with the initial purchase, while advanced options like the parametric EQ, MQA decoder, and MorphIt headphone profiles are available via additional, reasonably priced in-app purchases. This tiered approach allows users to customize the app to their needs without unnecessary expenses.
