What is the change in Android USB Class Audio and high -resolution compatible?
Android 5, the previous version.0 Lollipop was released in November last year, so the major version upgrade in less than a year.Lollipop had a great evolution in that connection with USB audio was supported, but USB Class Audio 1.It was a response of 0, and it was possible to play only the sound up to 48kHz at most.
Of course, this is a story at the OS level, and there have been a number of special terminals that have achieved high -resolution playback from Walkman, including Walkman.However, many Android equipment, such as Windows, Mac, and iOS, did not enjoy high -resolution, so I'm worried about what this will happen.Well, Windows and USB Class Audio 2 even if the OS itself becomes Windows 10.0 Although it has not been supported, the audio interface/USB DAC manufacturer has issued a driver and the application is supported, so it can be used without any problems, so the circumstances are completely different from Android.
On the other hand, if the OS is compatible with MIDI, it is highly expected that it can be used as an instrument like an iPhone or iPad, but what is going on?
Android 6.Since 0 will be released, I was hoping to update and try Nexus 10 on hand, but if you check it carefully, the Nexus series in the Nexus series is Nexus 5, Nexus6., Nexus7 (2013), Nexus9, Nexus Player, and Nexus7 (2012) and Nexus 10 are not eligible.Two and a half years have passed since birth, so it may be inevitable in this fast evolution world.If the Nexus series has become an attractive device in music, we will buy new models with pleasure, but so far it was not used properly.So, this time, I decided to rent Nexus 5 in the editorial department and check it.
Nexus 5(左)とNexus 10(右)The Nexus5 that arrived at hand is already Andoroid 6.Since it was updated to 0, only set up a Google account and install the necessary applications.Set up immediately, first of all, "USB Class Audio 2.Did you respond to 0? "In order to connect USB equipment in Android devices such as the Nexus series, an OTG (on the go) cable to enable the Android side as a USB host is required.Using this, USB Class Audio 2.When I connected the UR242 of Steinberg, a compatible audio interface, I couldn't recognize it.

USB DAC「UD-301」と接続してHF Playerで再生First, USB Class Audio 2 listed above.As soon as the compatible device is connected to Nexus 5 via OTG cable, a message "Do you allow access to USB devices to the app HF Player?"If you do OK here, you will be able to recognize these devices with HF Player.If you actually use HF Player to play 96kHz data, you can make a sound at 96kHz, and if you play 192kHz data, you can pass the signal at 192kHz.This can be confirmed by looking at the UD-301 indicator.Also, if the DSD output format is set to DOP with HF Player, it is possible to play with DSD native.
HF PlayerにUSB機器へ接続を許可192kHzなどのハイレゾ再生も可能UD-301のインジケータでハイレゾ再生を確認DoPに設定すればDSD再生も可能But these are Android 6.It is not the function of 0, but the HF Player is doing it, Android 5.The same thing was done with 0, so this is not the evolution point.For this reason, these USB Class Audio 2 with Play Music, which is an Android standard application..0 Compatible devices cannot be used.
In addition, there is a Radius app "NEPLAYER" (1,800 yen) as an application that can be done the same as HF Player, so I purchased it and tried it.Unfortunately, Nexus 5 could not move well.If you connect a USB audio device with the NEPLAYER opening screen appearing, you will even see a message saying "external devices have been connected."I thought it would go well and tried to go next, and it ended.Perhaps it was batting with some app, or it would be incompatible with Nexus 5, but I couldn't move it well.
