has anyone used Neuton music player

[mistic99]

Wondering if anyone tied the Neutron music player since it has a 32 bit mode.

My recommendation would be the Poweramp alpha 4 and activate the Hi-Res Output for Snapdragon variant. I love Neutron as well but prefer this for the V20.

I don't see an option to activate hi-res output in the latest power amp alpha on the LG. I did see the option on the Samsung though.

You have to make sure you have Alpha 4. Go to the Poweramp forum and download.Alpha 3 does not support.

Cool did not know about that feature in the Alpha 4 ver

Been using Neutron Music player for years-it Rocks! It is the only music player I use. I am on a LG G5 for now though so not sure how it sounds on the V20.

Thanks I'm going to try this. Do you have a link to the download?

I can't use Poweramp; can't find a way to show only album artist.

The hi res mode isn't working on my device. Keeps saying failed.

Will this make my flac files sound better with this alpha version with the built in DAC, or will it only make lower bit files (320,192 mp3) sound better by upscaling. The reason I ask is that skins are disabled with alpha and I really enjoyed the skin I had on my regular version. Makes the player look so much sharper. If it really helps the music, I guess I can live with it, but if not I'll just go back to the store version and apply back my skin.

I had the same questions whether I was hearing upscale going, software tricks, but I primarily use FLAC files, even an occasional 24bit. I do know that Alpha is designed specifically to utilize the Snapdragon. To me, while I enjoy specs, numbers and the science of sound my ears are the real test. Yes your FLAC files will pop.

My God what a difference! And I thought playing flac files alone with this DAC was spectacular! I was maxing out volume on most of my albums before, and now I'm getting that same volume at 50% and the sound is unreal! So detailed! And the up conversation definitely works, no placebo. Had a few albums I downloaded with crappy quality, they now sound significantly better. Thanks for the info!

How do you enable the Hi res mode because it keeps failing on me?

I just went under audio/output/High Res output and flipped the switch. Worked fine for me. Try deleting and downloading again. Also, I tried to install alpha over my store version and it kept crashing so I deleted all the files, then downloaded the alpha and it works flawlessly. Will miss my skins, but sonics > visuals

Double post sorry

Remember the Poweramp Alpha is that...an Alpha. It can be a little flaky at times. I have seen it say it failed and it is still playing and still playing in 24bit.

So I downloaded the trial and requested to be on beta testing. I take it that is the only way to get the version you speak of? They said they are going to send an update. How is that possible? They don't have my info?
