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 supports AI-assisted Queue generation with Google Gemini AI engine.

* It offers the sophisticated user interface with an advanced media library functionality.

I have the paid verison of this app. Audio quality is excellent. But the latest update (yesterday's January 13) makes it crash whenever I open any mp3. Re-installed but same problem. I have an s23 ultra. Hopefully they fix it in the next update Edit: Quick response and fix from the developer team (Jan 14). Mp3 files now work. Great support! Changed rating to 5 star

I paid for an app I can't use. I'm on Android 15 and this player won't read any of my media files anymore. I'm told it is because of some special permissions needed for Android 12+. I have to install a special apk to make it work. That's rubbish. I've been using this app for 10 years now without issues and now it's broken. So much for Neutron.

You get what you put in with this one, probably the most powerful and customizable music app put there but more than I need personally. If you deal with a lot of external audiophile equipment, this is gonna give you the best/most control for maximizing those devices. If you're just playing hi-res media off you're phone, there are easier apps to use.
