![]() Only those players which have own custom audio engine capable of running at high frequency can serve these two scenarios and there are very few players in the world (!) which do have own audio engine and are not just a User Interface on top of the media playback API provided by the OS which is usually very basic and does not offer any advanced audio processing. Neutron is one of the few music players with own audio engine which offers extended DSP capabilities. Neutron's audio engine is capable of satisfying all the audiophile requirements: when Oversampling is used which increases processing frequency. If music player supports hi-res audio output it means that you will not loose frequencies (due to frequency conversion process called - Resampling) when playing hi-res music files and it will improve playback of the regular music files if additional DSP is used such as Equalizer, Filter, Surround, Crossfeed, Compressor and etc. Resolution of the digital audio data is usually limited to 24-32 bits because modern audio DACs are either 24 or 32-bit but there is another approach to increase resolution - increase frequency of the audio data, and it is what many modern audio DACs are capable of by supporting output frequency up to 768 kHz. Improve sound quality when playing regular music file (44.1 - 48 kHz).Įven though some may argue that human hearing is capable of perceiving maximum 20-22 kHz and hi-res audio is not needed at all we actively object - even though you may not hear frequencies above 22 kHz you will definitely benefit from a higher precision due to higher resolution of audio processing of those frequencies which you can hear! Conclusion: hi-res audio improves perception of the music content even though it can have frequencies below 22 kHz.Source music file has hi-res audio format (> 48 kHz, >16 bit) which needs to be preserved by the music player and sent to the DAC with the same format.There are two scenarios which involve hi-res audio: High resolution audio (Hi-Res Audio) becomes more an more popular as it brings a lot of benefits to the music listeners. ![]()
