About this app

Neutron Player is an advanced music player with an audiophile-grade platform-independent in-house developed Neutron HiFi™ 32/64-bit audio engine which does not rely on the OS music player API and thus delivers truly unique experience to you.

* It outputs hi-res audio directly to the internal DAC (including USB DAC) and offers a rich set of DSP effects.

* It is the only application capable of sending audio data to the network renderers (UPnP/DLNA, Chromecast) with all DSP effects applied, including the gapless playback.

* It features a unique PCM to DSD real-time conversion mode (if supported by DAC), so you can play your favorite music in DSD resolution.

* It offers the sophisticated user interface with an advanced media library functionality that is appreciated by audiophiles and music lovers from all parts of our world!

The hot fix worked. This truly is an amazing app with many great features, responsive devs, tons of customization, it's kind of like the equivalent of those people who won't shut up about how good vinyl sound vs digital, (but Neutron in a much better/non-annoying way.) The only feature I wish was different was that the limiter was independent of the compressor to allow for a little more control. Even so, with this app you will want for very little and none other compare.

2.23.7 NMP update caused massive license check failure on Android devices (not all though). Google Play just released 2.23.9 update with a hot-fix, please check if update is rolled out for your device. If not, you can download and install 2.23.9 manually from Neutron's web site: https://neutroncode.com/downloads/category/2-google-play

I love this so much I brought it twice Completely micro transaction and ad free, a true parametric eq with up to 60 bands all of which are fully customizable, pushes flac as well as lesser utilized codecs such as .m4a Not one but two distortion meters. You can swap to a frequency response point view to fine tune versus the overlapping bumps.You can save eq settings to different profiles. current bug, app wont load, and i like the UI. Its easy to use.

Audiophiles dream! If you're not technically minded this app might be a bit bewildering. However if you know what a DAC, DAW and HD600's are, then this is definitely for you! Deep menus, lots of excellent music enrichment. Satisfying graphics, but above all amazing sound! I know some have been having problems, believe me it's mostly OS and not the devs. I majorly recommend this app to a fully functioning audiophile or one just starting out! Dev is very proactive and faults are handled fast! 👍
