Hi there I just recently found out that Android by default is programed to output 44.1 khz and any file above it like the hi res 94 khz is suppressed and played at 44.1 khz is it true and apple music on Android which is an excellent app for hi res audio not worth it, if so please suggest how to listen to hi rea audio on mobile phone (Android) Thanks for the help.
44.1 is actually better since you get aliasing in hi-res recordings. They are called “Studio Quality” for a reason, the bits are more important since they determine the dynamic range and noise floor, which are actually audible. Even the CD quality exceeds the best analogue sources like magnetic tapes. Most people won’t hear a proper lossy compression from a lossless one.
en vérité la vie des n’existe pas, on n’entend et n’entendons jamais les fameuses harmoniques, pourquoi la majorité des casques a plusieurs milliers d’euros comme le focal Utopia qui a été jugé comme le meilleur casque au monde ne monte même pas a 30khz…
You can change Apple Music to hi res 24/192 but I have to use an external DAC since my phone doesn’t support it natively. Works great tho, no issues.
You don’t need higher than that but if you REALLY want to, you can remove the limit in developer settings.
On Android 13 you can do that, no way. How do you do that? I’m on Motorola Edge+ 2022.
I think most phones only support max 48khz. But some phones like Samsung a53 ,a73 and s22series does support upto 192khz I checked through fiio app for ka3 so I don’t know whether it’s correct or not but when I played with same settings with other OnePlus 11 r the sound differs lightly and volume is low with OnePlus but with Samsung I can hear the difference
No human on earth can differentiate anything over 16 bit 44.1khz regardless so it doesn’t really matter. There is absolutely no benefit whatsoever for high res. None.

Imho I enjoy to listen hi-res on Tidal just because I like to see when my DAC is switching the sample rate of various tracks. I don’t care for MQA either… everything’s sounds flawless, and I admit I can’t hear any real improvement from 44 khz up to 192 khz.
Android by default is programed to output 44.1 khz
Really?
Android resamples everything to 48 kHz. There are media players bypassing this default. You also need a USB DAC.
Android 14 comes with an option to override this default but again you must have both the software and the hardware to utilize this.

This hobby got so much more enjoyable when I took the NPR audio quality test and just accepted that I, like 99.9% of the population, can’t really tell the difference between hi-res and lower-res audio in a blind test.
For me that’s when I looked at flac vs 192 kbps mp3 versions of the same song (converted myself) in the spectrogram and found very little difference between the two. 320 kbps almost look exactly like flac. 128 kbps is where there’s a big visualize difference
Can your browser actually play hi Res or is it only through services like qobuz or downloaded music?
got a 5/6. could just be luck or tidal is worth it to me after all. the one outlier was jayz which is kinda funny (since he co-founded tidal) xD
His company bought the company that created and launched TIDAL… he had nothing to do with it’s creation.
6 tries are way too low to be a good test. Try foobar2000 abx component.
I got 0/6. Is it REALLY becase I can’t hear it, or is it because my source is bad? I’m using the 3.5mm jack from an Honor Play.
Nobody can hear it. The result is random because of this, so you can get 0/6, 0/3 or 6/6 and it doesn’t mean anything. To avoid such lucky rng you need to take a longer test.
