As of 10j Black Player and Pulsar down sample.
Short answer...In my testing only the Stock LG Music Player, will output Hi-Fi audio without down-sampling.
WE HAVE THREE OPTIONS....so far.
I used an internal Sound Blaster Z to record audio from the phone (Can only record up to 96kHz). Adobe Audition is my DAW of choice.
Music Players Tested
LG Stock Music Player - 96kHz playback (I am sure it will do higher, I just can't record higher than 96kHz.)
Black Player - 96kHz 10i
Pulsar - 96kHz 10i
PowerAMP - 48kHz
GoneMAD - 48kHz
Rocket Player - 48kHz
Onkyo Player - 48kHz
Neutron - 48kHz
Player Pro - 44.1kHz (48kHz with dsp pack)
JetAudio - 44.1kHz
Play Music - 44.1kHz
Shuttle+ - 44.1kHz
Foobar - 44.1kHz
Youtube - *Shrugs* something even lower lol.

I don't know why LG would lock 3th party apps out of the hardware.
And the sprint variant has root now right? You can't side load it?

I'm holding off on root for a bit. Hoping devs will develop a way of returning to stock.
I have tried various LG music apps but they don't install without root.
Anyone test out black player? Or Sony music player?
is this something that the authors of the audio players you've listed can fix on their end or is it really locked out by LG?
Anyone know why Spotify will just stop while listening?

Black player is good but if you have a lot of music that needs gapless playback, you'll be disappointed.
Doesn't work on the V20 for some reason.

Thanks for the recommendations! I've been a longtime user of PowerAmp, to the point where I haven't even bothered looking into alternatives, but I've been slowly falling out of love with it. I'm not crazy about the stock LG player and am glad to know there are some high quality apps out there that will play high quality files. Unfortunately, now I'm faced with the problem of trying to decide between Black Player and Pulsar! :crying:
You might want to check jetAudio. I just changed to the v20 from a note 4 and its still doing good. I have the plus version and just by toggling the dac and listening i can hear a difference in quality.
What about zplayer? I thought someone mentioned it on other thread but not sure if it's supported.

Right now I've got a couple pairs that I change around as I need to. My primary ones that I use are a pair of Jays One+, but I have been thinking about trying out my pair of Astro A40s to see if the dac is strong enough for push the headphones without the hardware dac for the headphone.

I use a pair of a40s when I stream gameplay and I want to say their impedance is around 50 ohms if not a bit less so the v20 will drive them no problem. The a40s soundstage leave much to be desired. The headset is great for gaming for things like picking up footsteps behind you and what not. And they are good at simulating the direction a sound is coming from, but this "surround" effect it produces makes music, especially high sample rate music sound, reverby. So just be cautions about that.
The earbuds will sound better when you toggle the DAC because earbuds by nature have a narrow band to them. So toggling to DAC may give the impression of a wider sound which makes it sound better but that doesn't necessarily mean the audio player isn't downsampling the music.
I personally need my q701s to really hear the difference between 44.1/48kHz sampled music and 96kHz. I can't really distinguish above 96kHz lol.

Fyi the Defy music app is prob best music app on the market..
Everyone should take a look at that and export it to all android os phones

Get powerAMP, this one is totally awesome with equalizers, bass and trebela and stuff...totally awesome.
Is there a way to include additionnal codecs for the default player, instead of installing another music player?
For instance to add Flac, ogg and m4a support.

i haven't used the music player app yet - am waiting for my 16GB sdcard and car mount - but lack of flac/ogg is a bit of a no brainer for me - it's minimum requirement.
i guess i'd better start hunting around. I noticed WinAmp has released a beta that syncs over WiFi but i guess that will only be with WinAmp Windows version - i run Ubuntu.
I have tried pretty much all of the readily available players. Ended up with PowerAMP, as it's the only one where you have the equalizer so that you can compensate for some lousy headphones (yes, my DEFY is my main music player).
The builtin music player is intresting, but I feel everything is just tooo many taps away. Also I find it utterly confusing how you get out of one Album and search for the next one ...
Most of the other player apps are just rehashes of the existing players without anything new featurewise that makes them compelling.

I'm looking into getting a defy and I was only lurking these forums, but your post made me register. You say you use your defy as your main music player? can I inquire as to how long straight it can play music for? from 100%-0% (or close to) battery?
As I plan on replacing my mp3 player as well when/if I get a defy. I'm tired of carrying around both my phone and music player all the time.
The defy battery status is in increments of 10%... i have a one hour commute and didn't lose anything while using mp3 mode on airplane mode(bc i take the subway)
Sent from my DEFY using XDA app
so i guess it is right to assume you could get at least 10 hours then? this is acceptable... Id probably only use about 4 hours a day. pretty much set on this phone now... had any grievances with it?
As i use my Defy as my only mp3-player, i would like to inform you, that there is a equalizer in the phone.
Settings --> Sound and Display--> Audio-Effects for Media --> then the first one.
Sorry, my english is bad, my settings are in german language. Hope you find it.
For me, the sound is great, using the Equalizer with the filter "Bass-Schlag" (the 2. Filter).
Sorry for my English, but i think, this one is important.
Best regards
Stefan

it is very basic and only has 5 presets but it's better than nothing!
I like the phone and I was glad to have DSP effects (it's supposed to have powerful DSP's).
Unfortunately when I tried them with Streamfurious, I could hear a fairly loud noise. It's only there with the EQ/DSP effects enabled and while the effect would be good with the earphones the noise is often unbearable.
Well whaddayaknow, it's pretty easy to extract, using the MotoDev software. And it installs on other Android devices just fine...

Hey man, your English is good. Thanks for sharing the tips. I never knew it before.
hi,
is there any way to get the music app to rescan the sd card for music files?
I changed my card from the stock 2GB card to a new 16GB. I copied all the files on the old card over to the new card then switched them over.
I have now switched on my Defy, the music files are all visible in astro and can be played by clicking on them but when i go into my library in the media player app i get a message saying there are no music files on the sd card.
edit : the gallery app picks up the photo's just fine so it appears to be only the media app
edit 2 : it appears to sorted itself now. i guess it was just taking a bit of time to rescan in the background.
I was looking for another player to be able to read ogg files, but the Defy reads them without issues!
So that's perfect, i'm gonna convert a ton of my Flac collection into Ogg, and get one of those huge µSD cards!
Only thing that could be better, is the fact that i have to put the volume at about half the bar to get a good volume, whatever earphones i use. I wonder if there's a way to make the player raise the sound volume a bit more?

Sorry for this late respons.
Yes, I use the DEFY as my main music player. I have used my phones always for this, since my first D750i ;-) I cannot really say how much it runs with the music player on. Looking at the battery stats the player shows up in the very low range (<= 5%) compared to standy/idle, which are 95%. So I'd say you are more bound by other things. The phone itself survives for me 2 days without recharging.
Couple of more comments. I do use for our cars here either a 3.5mm connector to the stereo, or one of those cassette inserts (make sure you turn of the dolby noise reduction). With this setup, you have a hands free as well. The incoming call gets put onto your speaker system, and the mic is good enough to directly work. No fiddeling around required. The other thing is that with PowerAMP the Scullcandy kits for my Smith Ski helment works nicely. You can use 1 to 3 button pushes on the little control that comes with it to pause/play, forward, backward. Of course at the same time you can take phone-calls. Actually with PowerAMP you also can select a short-push/long-push setup as alternative, which I found easier to deal with if you ski in the trees and the current song just does fit your rythm.
Ah, one more thing. I am kind of old-school. I am using winamp to maintain my music database on the PC. Main reason originally was that the pro version thereof had good AAC-HE encoding. With that encoding you can use 64k over the normal AAC-LE with 256k. With most speaker systems you cannot tell the difference (at least I cannot). At the end of the day it saves however a HUGE chunk of space on the SD card. You might want to use mp3tag along with winamp.
As somebody else noted in the thread, there is some other setting available in the system settings. What I do there (or did there) is to add some bass so that other apps don't sound so ultra bad. This is very useful for listening to FM radio, or say pandora/last.fm/di.fm (online music, that plays rather nicely, even in the car).
Can't use radio with Chinese Froyo..
Is this version different than the one that comes with the Defy by default?

Oh yeah, its really nice, beautiful Bass...
I'm mostly using MortPlayer (beta), cause of the Pop-up.... than, I shouldn't go out of my App
I used to search high and low for music player appz for the X10 Mini.
Besides the Spotify player/client for streamed music from that paysite (I have a premium account) I use the PowerAMP to play my own music (mp3s ripped from my CDs thats legal in Sweden as long as I just makes copies for myself) ,
PowerAMP is good and has a lot of bling-bling even for a pay app. Had some issues with the PowerAMP that it started to play tunes every now and then.
Like plugging in or out the 3,5 jack (at home) or connected the Samsung SBH650 bluetooth headset.
As the X10 Mini has a great multitasking capability that meant that PowerAMP played music when I tried to listening to music from Spotify.
Since the latest SE update the PowerAMP seems to stay shut when not actuallu tapping it's play button
Does someone out there found players, that have become a favourite?
PS. Love to use the Spotify music streaming and Google Maps and GPS simultaneous when driving. As long as there are 3G cover maps, GPS-positions as well as the music will work without glitches from this little magic box, we call X10 Mini. Don't know about the Pro, never had one
My favourite is WinAmp. Just really handy to use. Although before this I used TuneWiki - it has an awesome lyrics function.

Mortplayer is the best. At least in my eyes.
You can play all files in one folder, not just from playlists, or song / artist / album.
Cubed. The coolest player ever. And it´s free.
MortPlayer
MortPlayer
Music PlayerPro. Advanced version of standard android player.
I use PowerAMP
Though the letters are too small,it can play any format of audio including FLAC and also has an equalizer....
So its the bets in my eyes....
doubleTwist & Btunes
doubleTwist
Btunes
Best for me..
i prefer winamp, but i didn't hear much music via my mini pro, ipod in car-use
PowerAmp.. the best one.
I tried all cited players, and all uses more battery that original. So I decided keep stock player mod version, found here on forum. Its usefull; it doesnt have to many resources but I can play for hours without drain my battery.
I listen thru the default stock player but then I found this PowerAmp and decided to test it. It simply blow me away... Great player with music tag aditor, album art auto download and those equalisers are awesome...
Features wise; Poweramp.
I try Cubed because it's free and I found it very good, widget included and nice user interface (but a little difficult at first look) !

There are several apps that affect sound quality:
Noozxoide is one
There's viper for android, I've been trying to get this to work on my SGP5 running pac-rom 4.3 but have had no luck. works on 4.2 though
There's also flashable zip files that you can try like ac!d audio, awesome beats, and pure audio, i've had no success with those myself.
Also depends on your audio player, theres noozy, neutron player, poweramp (my choice).

really good sound
dsp manager and apollo make by far the best sound for my music, I immediately noticed the difference, I downloaded other music players and by far nothing beats apollo and dsp manager and tbh I am not particularly fond of how apollo player works, i dont like the fact it doesnt have the ability to play music by folders and when you are searching for a particular song it wont give a drop down menu with pre-search matches like most other players do, it is clunky to make a 'play list' not really great for helping you search the song you need to find (specially when you got 10gigs of music in your sd card) but I just cant leave apollo+dsp player due to how amazing the sound quality is, and I know prob some musicians or sound experts out there can get better sound quality with other players that have the advanced features to tune different sounds but I am not a sound expert and I dont really know how to 'tune' this players to what I get out of the box with apollo+dsp manager.
Does anyone know of a player that syncs with dsp manager as well as apollo does, I tried a few but no cigar

Try Play music,,
Now I am using Viper4android with toggling between Play music and xperia walkmaan Music player... It is awesome..
Just buy a decent pair of in-ears (what I prefer) or buy good headphones.
Also it's a bit of a personal thing, others want more bass and less treble.. Also depends on what kind of music you listen.
Personally I like and have the Sennheiser CX-400 Precision, it produces a ''Lifelike Sound''. It all sounds really natural.
Also depends if you buy/download the song in ''Original state'' MP3 file in 320kbps or FLAC (around 1000kbps) or rip it from YouTube. Want to mention that you almost can't notice any difference between MP3 and FLAC when listening with normal speakers, with good headphones/in-ears you do but not a lot, but you can hear the sound is a bit more sharp.
The worst thing you can do is rip song from YouTube because it's already converted once while uploading it so audio quality isn't as good as the original copy, and then you are gonna rip it from YouTube and than it becomes again a bit worse, even if you convert it to 320kbps, it is already not a real 320kbps one anymore.
About the music players.. I'm stuck with Poweramp, with his features like cross-fade which you can set per ms, the themes you can apply for a nice KitKat/Jelly Bean or whatever you want interface, and the ability that you can long-press the song you're playing at the moment and get a pop-up of,
1) All the music from that specific artist.
2) The whole album of the relevant song you're playing.
3) The map where the file is in.
Good audio quality depends on multiple things.
Peace.

Yup most my music is either 192 or 320kbps just because I 'suffer' from real fine audio detection in my ears and it bugs the **** out of me when my music doesnt sound crisp and detailed with each instrument noticeable within the music. I call it 'suffering' because when I hear the fukin radio or some other low quality audio source (Pandora on low bandwith setting blaawhh).
So I immediately noticed when I played music through Apollo with the DSP manager in the settings I preferred. I have tried power amp, google play music, and many other players and equalizers in the Play Store and around the web (viper4android) and its just not the same for MY preference of audio. Granted I am not an audio engineer so it is prob me not knowing how to tune the different audio tools but for my low level audio exp Apollo+dsp manager in android kitkat has been by far my favorite.

Yup most my music is either 192 or 320kbps just because I 'suffer' from real fine audio detection in my ears and it bugs the **** out of me when my music doesnt sound crisp and detailed with each instrument noticeable within the music. I call it 'suffering' because when I hear the fukin radio or some other low quality audio source (Pandora on low bandwith setting blaawhh).

The timebar in Apollo is so freakin small, can't skip normally without focusing on that line.

apollo and dsp are also my fave but i used to have zplayer before and that has excellent bass when enabled. removed it due to being over crowded. apollo is excellent
On the back of my original packaging/box there is a 'hi res audio' certification, however i cannot for the life of me seem to find the hi res option in the OS??
Even with an external DAC it's only outputting a max of 48khz... ;(
Which audio player are you using to check? It should work in USB Audio Player Pro or Neutron MP.
Well I've used apple music for hi res playback but even tidal doesn't seem to have any adjustments - the music does sound great on these speakers it has like it's super loud and really comes at you

The Dev menu has some HD audio section but you are unable to toggle to get into the settings.
Nice to have a look.
