[The Computer Audiophile]

Details: I'm using JRemote on my iPhone 6 Plus to stream audio from MC on my PC to the iPhone. I have "This Device" selected as the output zone on my iPhone. I have a new Apple lightning to USB 3 adapter connected to the iPhone enabling me to output to a USB DAC. When streaming 16 bit / 44.1 kHz audio to the iPhone, JRemote outputs a bit perfect signal to my DAC. When streaming 24/96, 24/176.4, and 24/192 music, JRemote outputs the sample rate fine, but is doing something to the bit depth. I can't get bit perfect playback for these high resolution files.

Note: When using the same hardware setup with FLAC Player on my iPhone, I can output 16/44.1, 24/96, 24/176.4, and 24/192 bit perfectly without issue. The only difference is the iOS app. FLAC Player works, JRemote doesn't.

Question: Can JRemote send and output bit perfect high resolution to an iOS device?


Attached is a screenshot displaying JRemote with 24/192 FLAC (but the output isn't bit perfect).

Update: I just discovered JRemote is truncating all 24 bit files to 16 bits.

Question: Is there a way to change this?

Here is what I have set. Mode: Original, Format: PCM 24 Bit

>> Mode: Original, Format: PCM 24 Bit

These two settings are mutually irrelevant...

• If the Mode setting is "Original" then the track will be streamed "as is" with the bit depth, bit rate, and channel width of the original file (i.e. the Format setting is irrelevant).
• If the Mode setting is NOT "Original" then the track will be resampled to whatever bit depth, bit rate, and channel width, you define in the Format setting.
