[QUOTE="Eish, post: 1124721, member: 2900"] For android 12 and above - anything above 48kHz can be resampled and sent as 384kHz (even if the phone DAC is only capable of 192kHz like in my case). I don't know why this happens). For android 11 - everything gets downsampled to 48kHz. But when I listen to Hires Lossless Apple Music stream on my Oneplus 9 Pro - it gets upsampeld to 384kHz, everything from 48kHz and below plays as 48kHz. My guess is that your Tidal app is doing the first unfold and sending 96kHz or 88kHz, the android software then upsamples it to 384kHz. Just check if the Master Label remains in the song as it is playing. When using UAPP - you can decline exclusive mode and also set it up to variable bitrate. This will then shows you what bitrate is being received and what is being sent to the DAC. This then lets you see that actually 96kHz is being sent, but the DAC reports 384kHz. The whole thing is messy - but the important bit is that you are getting hi-res into your DAC, altered, but still hi-res. [/QUOTE]
