Looks like when you get android 14, you'll get the bit perfect mode but whatever music player you use on the device needs to also support the mode. Other than that, I don't know nuffin.

I don't even bother with this stuff though. Unless I'm going to an event or something, I'm running bluetooth with the windows open and the system has to fight wind noise and the hemi.

 

I wonder when AT&T will release v14? I also wonder what the code name is for the new version.

One UI 6.0

 

It actually Upside Down Cake. Version 15 is Vanellia Ice Cream. They alway so some sort of sweet.

 

Ironically I use apple music as my main source. But if the android layer is lifted theoretically we should be able to stream lossless. At least that's what I'm hoping.

 

I am running A14 now, but have used A13 for a long time and was always USB to Helix "Bit Perfect", however you have to have the right player as has been mentioned. I use HiBy and it supports this and is Free!

 

I'm guessing you got the pixel 8?

 

P8P Yep

 

I updated my pixel 6pro to Android 14 but. I don't think my current system can even take advantage of it since my headunit can't stream through USB.

I could run direct to dsp but don't have a way to check the signal quality

 

Won't a Topping D10 display what the signal quality is?

 

Hmm I have a S23 Ultra and am running One UI 6 (which is the beta, but stable) right now, although the official should be rolling out in the next couple weeks, going to have to play with this...

 

My understanding is that Samsung hardware limited the S23 series and its not capable of playing HD audio. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

 

I just got the 23 ultra (was gonna wait for the 24, but soon as a phone starts giving me battery issues it has to go) but I'm still rocking v13 and UI 5. I did get this yesterday

But it's still UI 5 🤨

 

HA! Verizon is still on One UI 2.5!!! (Android 10)

 

Well I doubt this will make a difference with the glorified equalizer in my Malibu, but it sure is nice to see Google putting forth the effort. It may be useful when I build the Outlander since that DSP will have optical input. I'm with you, I despise IOS for reasons other than audio, and after my experience with the P7P I'll only be using Qualcomm SoCs for the foreseeable future.

Not sure if it's too late or if you just want to wait, but if you go to the Samsung Members App there was a link to sign up for the Beta and you will download it instantly. It's on Beta 8 since they started (and the first couple were buggy!) But I believe this is the last one and the next release will be the stable official build.

 

Hey, I am a Samsung user. What exactly am I looking for in the members app?

 

I thought updates for Samsung phones had to be made available by the carrier and not Samsung?

 

One UI 6.0

One UI 6.0 is what Samsung call their interface that runs on top of Android. Which in the case of Android 14, as mentioned above is Upside Down Cake.

I thought updates for Samsung phones had to be made available by the carrier and not Samsung?

Yes and no. I have T-Mobile but a phone bought direct from Samsung. If I had bought my phone from T-Mobile then I would have to wait for T-Mobile to test and add their crap on top of Android + Samsung One UI before they pushed it out to end users.

Since my phone is a non carrier version, I get updates direct from Samsung.

You can load custom ROM's without either the carrier, or even Samsung stuff, essentially loading basic Android directly onto a carrier locked phone. But, that's becoming increasingly harder to do so which is a bit of a shame. Used to flash all my phones with custom ROM's that had no carrier or manufacturer stuff on them, but the last couple phones I have had you had to basically run both the software that came with the phone and then a 2nd OS that you picked upon boot.

This is one reason why I choose Google Pixel phones! I easily root, then flash monthly when the updates are posted. All factory images and easily updated monthly. Root is a bonus.

If you scroll thru the banners when you open the app, one of them should be for the ONE UI Beta Program. I'm not sure which models its available for. I know the newest S23 series (Reg, +, and Ultra) but not sure about any of the others (A series, Fold, Flip, etc... )

 

That was one thing I noticed. I have the s21, so I'll see what I can find out.
Thanks.

 

I was gonna do it.... but then I read the warning 😆. I'm good... I'll wait for the official release.

 

That's weird. I love our regular Pixel 6's. My wife and I have them and no issues with either. I never have to charge it during the day. Must be a pro thing or bad luck.

 

Alot of the 6pros were fine but they were also replacing them left and right under warranty. I should've had mine swapped. My flash has never worked since day one nor the flashlight function.

I don't really care about that but the screen has been replaced 3x now which considering I went 12years before that not breaking the screen I question it's durability.

But like i said I'm still using the phone so it's not all bad least after the 30th update

 

We just replaced my wife's pixel 3 with the 8 Pro. The first thing I noticed was how nice the screen was. The refresh rate is so much higher than the pixel 3 its insane. I'll get one for myself in a few months. I had debated on just keeping my work iPhone but after seeing hers, I want one for myself haha.

 

I might try the new pixel next year honestly if they offered a dap that could take a sim card if be more interested in that

 

I still use a s9+ with a headphone jack lmao

 

S23s in other counties got the Android 14.....

Stable One UI 6 update based on Android 14 is finally here!

Samsung has finally begun rolling out One UI 6 based on Android 14 to its portfolio of Galaxy phones and tablets. Check out the changes!

www.androidauthority.com

Me patiently waiting like....

 

I finally got the 14 last night!!! I also got a SMSL PO100 AK.

I haven't had I chance to play with it yet but I will... one day soon. But I have no way of checking the bitrate coming out.

Is there a way withought having to buy a 200$ topping?

 

Do you have UAPP on your phone? It will show you the bit rate of the song you are playing.

 

I do not, I used apple music. Can these 2 work in conjunction with each other.

 

I discovered incidentally that my pixel 6 pro and alpine deck support Ldac. I didn't think the pixel 6 supported it.

Now I just need to find a way to add streaming services to the alpine. Probably a Roku or something like that

 

About time they did this and hopefully all the usual vendors will take it up and run with it! I may not be fruit flavoured for much longer if this is correct 😎
