I’ve tested sampling rate of audio playing on Android 14 using ADB. spotify,youtube,yt music,google files,aimp,apple music all are playing at 24bit 48khz with a 24bit dac

Aimp can play in 16bit if output set to openslES

So,summary is , we can enjoy 24bit audio on spotify with a dac,android doesn’t downsample it to 16bit.

44.1 to 48khz resampling is fine because it’s not cutting data,it’s adding data,which will be inaudible. Dont worry about that “Spotify is disappointing” video,using spotify on android is fine.that correlated null difference increases only because of android adds data to turn 44.1khz to 48khz
