Is there a way to stop android making audio a higher sampling frequency
My issue is this, I have a tablet with tidal on it, whatever I play via my topping D10 is upsampled to 384khz, which reduces the quality vs it’s original 44.1khz flac format, it also can’t be passed via optical as my dsp only accepts 96khz which is sensible as in theory that’s opticals limit for two channel audio
I use tidal as my media player, this has 44.1k files upto 96khz is the most I’ve found so far, I use downloaded offline tracks to reduce hammer on bandwidth on my phone as I have dodgy signal round my way
So if I use usb audio player pro I can then use the usb control of the dac and I play a 44.1khz file and the topping display says 44.1, if I play pink Floyd at 96khz it plays it, and the sample rate goes to the topping correctly... win!
I can even use tidal via the UAPP, however this is only via streaming which is no good for driving around
Is there a way to turn off the android bloatware which is upsampling everything to the maximum it thinks my topping can take which is a load of crap as upsampled 44.1khz contains no more information and is of degraded quality vs the original file
basically I just want 44.1khz from tidal if that’s what it’s playing, or 96khz if that’s what it’s playing
is there an app that can sit along side tidal and enable the output to the topping dac to be bit perfect effectively? Or can I effectively switch of the upsampling so it does what it says on the tin?
I understand by rooting the device I can edit various things, i have already disabled soundalive and the hearing adjust parts but I believe it’s deep in the android sound output control part that does this and upsamples everything to the max the usb dac can take
