Hi there! Guys, I’m using FiiO Q1 makr 2 external DAC with my iPhone. This external DAC takes the volume control over iOS - i can’t change the volume using iPhone when external DAC is connected. Support of FiiO told me that they did in such way to avoid internal iPhone’s DAC interference due to it’s low quality:) So I think this is a kind of bypassing of iPhone’s internal DAC. And of course the sound quality is much better using external DAC.
Deezer app, works fine on Nvidia Shield Android TV. However, there is no way of knowing at what bitrate your track is playing. Secondly, the app doesn't have it in settings to passthrough raw / unprocessed audio signal to the amplifier / AV receiver and let their high quality DAC process the signal. FLAC signal, if processed by android boxes' inferior DACs kills the entire purpose of HiFI subscription. This is a common issue with all the Android devices. As I know there are 2 apps only to have passsthrough on Android TV - KODI and VLC. I’ve read a few reviews of using USB output+external USB DAC with the Nvidia Shield TV. Over USB it allows bit2bit 14 bit 44 Khz output. Not more.
Thanks, Rudi!
Hi, Rudi! Kind thanks for Your reply! So, there is (must be) a “HiFi” watermark at the album’s picture during the playback. It appears now on my iPhone and an Android device as well. There was the same watermark on my TV during the googlecast (both on my phone and TV). After the last update there is not. So now, when I playback a song on my phone, I see this HiFi and after I launch casting it dissapears. To be honest the sound during the chromcast seems to be better than using Deezer on Android TV, but it better to check:) Thanks a lot and would be great to have full HiFi support for Android TV.
Hi! Is there any chances to expect HiFi support on Android Tv? Have Nvidia Shield connected to the HiFi AV receiver with HiFi Stereo. Thanks!
